Protect perf_guest_cbs with READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to ensure it's not
reloaded between a !NULL check and a dereference, and wait for all
readers via syncrhonize_rcu() to prevent use-after-free, e.g. if the
callbacks are being unregistered during module unload. Because the
callbacks are global, it's possible for readers to run in parallel with
an unregister operation.
The bug has escaped notice because all dereferences of perf_guest_cbs
follow the same "perf_guest_cbs && perf_guest_cbs->is_in_guest()" pattern,
and it's extremely unlikely a compiler will reload perf_guest_cbs in this
sequence. Compilers do reload perf_guest_cbs for future derefs, e.g. for
->is_user_mode(), but the ->is_in_guest() guard all but guarantees the
PMI handler will win the race, e.g. to nullify perf_guest_cbs, KVM has to
completely exit the guest and teardown down all VMs before KVM start its
module unload / unregister sequence.
But with help, unloading kvm_intel can trigger a NULL pointer derference,
e.g. wrapping perf_guest_cbs with READ_ONCE in perf_misc_flags() while
spamming kvm_intel module load/unload leads to:
