4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> commit 5af44ca53d019de47efe6dbc4003dd518e5197ed upstream. The syzbot hit KASAN bug in perf_callchain_store having the entry stored behind the allocated bounds [1]. We miss the sample_max_stack check for the initial event that allocates callchain buffers. This missing check allows to create an event with sample_max_stack value bigger than the global sysctl maximum: # sysctl -a | grep perf_event_max_stack kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127 # perf record -vv -C 1 -e cycles/max-stack=256/ kill ... perf_event_attr: size 112 ... sample_max_stack 256 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 4 Note the '-C 1', which forces perf record to create just single event. Otherwise it opens event for every cpu, then the sample_max_stack check fails on the second event and all's fine. The fix is to run the sample_max_stack check also for the first event with callchains.
