[PATCH] perf: Fix data race between pin_count increment/decrement
From: Marco Elver
Date: Thu May 27 2021 - 06:47:29 EST
KCSAN reports a data race between increment and decrement of pin_count:
write to 0xffff888237c2d4e0 of 4 bytes by task 15740 on cpu 1:
find_get_context kernel/events/core.c:4617
__do_sys_perf_event_open kernel/events/core.c:12097 [inline]
__se_sys_perf_event_open kernel/events/core.c:11933
...
read to 0xffff888237c2d4e0 of 4 bytes by task 15743 on cpu 0:
perf_unpin_context kernel/events/core.c:1525 [inline]
__do_sys_perf_event_open kernel/events/core.c:12328 [inline]
__se_sys_perf_event_open kernel/events/core.c:11933
...
Because neither read-modify-write here is atomic, this can lead to one of the
operations being lost, resulting in an inconsistent pin_count. Fix it by adding
the missing locking in the CPU-event case.
