4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Will Deacon <[email protected]> commit 8b6a3fe8fab97716990a3abde1a01fb5a34552a3 upstream. When tearing down an AUX buf for an event via perf_mmap_close(), __perf_event_output_stop() is called on the event's CPU to ensure that trace generation is halted before the process of unmapping and freeing the buffer pages begins. The callback is performed via cpu_function_call(), which ensures that it runs with interrupts disabled and is therefore not preemptible. Unfortunately, the current code grabs the per-cpu context pointer using get_cpu_ptr(), which unnecessarily disables preemption and doesn't pair the call with put_cpu_ptr(), leading to a preempt_count() imbalance and a BUG when freeing the AUX buffer later on: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2249 at kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:539 __rb_free_aux+0x10c/0x120 Modules linked in: [...] Call Trace: [<ffffffff813379dd>] dump_stack+0x4f/0x72 [<ffffffff81059ff6>] __warn+0xc6/0xe0 [<ffffffff8105a0c8>] warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x20 [<ffffffff8112761c>] __rb_free_aux+0x10c/0x120 [<ffffffff81128163>] rb_free_aux+0x13/0x20 [<ffffffff8112515e>] perf_mmap_close+0x29e/0x2f0 [<ffffffff8111da30>] ? perf_iterate_ctx+0xe0/0xe0 [<ffffffff8115f685>] remove_vma+0x25/0x60 [<ffffffff81161796>] exit_mmap+0x106/0x140 [<ffffffff8105725c>] mmput+0x1c/0xd0 [<ffffffff8105cac3>] do_exit+0x253/0xbf0 [<ffffffff8105e32e>] do_group_exit+0x3e/0xb0 [<ffffffff81068d49>] get_signal+0x249/0x640 [<ffffffff8101c273>] do_signal+0x23/0x640 [<ffffffff81905f42>] ? _raw_write_unlock_irq+0x12/0x30 [<ffffffff81905f69>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x9/0x10 [<ffffffff81901896>] ? __schedule+0x2c6/0x710 [<ffffffff810022a4>] exit_to_usermode_loop+0x74/0x90 [<ffffffff81002a56>] prepare_exit_to_usermode+0x26/0x30 [<ffffffff81906d1b>] retint_user+0x8/0x10 This patch uses this_cpu_ptr() instead of get_cpu_ptr(), since preemption is already disabled by the caller.
