[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 81/98] perf/core: Fix locking for children siblings group read

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 2aeb1883547626d82c597cce2c99f0b9c62e2425 ]

We're missing ctx lock when iterating children siblings
within the perf_read path for group reading. Following
race and crash can happen:

User space doing read syscall on event group leader:

T1:
  perf_read
    lock event->ctx->mutex
    perf_read_group
      lock leader->child_mutex
      __perf_read_group_add(child)
        list_for_each_entry(sub, &leader->sibling_list, group_entry)

---->   sub might be invalid at this point, because it could
        get removed via perf_event_exit_task_context in T2

Child exiting and cleaning up its events:

T2:
  perf_event_exit_task_context
    lock ctx->mutex
    list_for_each_entry_safe(child_event, next, &child_ctx->event_list,...
      perf_event_exit_event(child)
        lock ctx->lock
        perf_group_detach(child)
        unlock ctx->lock

---->   child is removed from sibling_list without any sync
        with T1 path above

        ...
        free_event(child)

Before the child is removed from the leader's child_list,
(and thus is omitted from perf_read_group processing), we
need to ensure that perf_read_group touches child's
siblings under its ctx->lock.

Peter further notes:

| One additional note; this bug got exposed by commit:
|
|   ba5213ae6b88 ("perf/core: Correct event creation with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP")
|
| which made it possible to actually trigger this code-path.
