Subject: assert from intel_pmu_hw_config
Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2022 00:15:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y0nffphm+aqtMBMc@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net> (raw)

Hi Kan,

While fuzzing on my ADL, I saw a splat (sadly not captured because
MeshCommander is a pain in the backside).

The thing I did recover was that it was the new
lockdep_assert_event_ctx() triggering from intel_pmu_hw_config().

Now; that code reads:

	if (require_mem_loads_aux_event(event) &&
	    (event->attr.sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC) &&
	    is_mem_loads_event(event)) {
		struct perf_event *leader = event->group_leader;
		struct perf_event *sibling = NULL;

		if (!is_mem_loads_aux_event(leader)) {
			for_each_sibling_event(sibling, leader) {
				if (is_mem_loads_aux_event(sibling))
					break;
			}
			if (list_entry_is_head(sibling, &leader->sibling_list, sibling_list))
				return -ENODATA;
		}
	}

And it is trying to assert leader->ctx->mutex is held.

Now, the calling context perf_try_init_event() has:

	/*
	 * A number of pmu->event_init() methods iterate the sibling_list to,
	 * for example, validate if the group fits on the PMU. Therefore,
	 * if this is a sibling event, acquire the ctx->mutex to protect
	 * the sibling_list.
	 */
	if (event->group_leader != event && pmu->task_ctx_nr != perf_sw_context) {
		/*
		 * This ctx->mutex can nest when we're called through
		 * inheritance. See the perf_event_ctx_lock_nested() comment.
		 */
		ctx = perf_event_ctx_lock_nested(event->group_leader,
						 SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING);
		BUG_ON(!ctx);
	}

IOW; we only hold leader->ctx->mutex when event is *NOT* the group
leader; while the above code *can* in fact use for_each_sibilng_event()
on the group leader when conditions are just right.

Now, it's really late and my brain has long since started the weekend,
but I think something like the below ought to fix things.

Does that make sense? IIRC this would not destroy the purpose of this
code -- although admittedly, the comment there tickles only vague
memories.
