This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf record: Delete session after stopping sideband thread to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-record-delete-session-after-stopping-sideband-t.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d313e8e6b6b0467ae2a2e861c47bad3d2e927d26 Author: Ian Rogers <irogers@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 29 23:46:36 2024 -0800 perf record: Delete session after stopping sideband thread [ Upstream commit 88ce0106a1f603bf360cb397e8fe293f8298fabb ] The session has a header in it which contains a perf env with bpf_progs. The bpf_progs are accessed by the sideband thread and so the sideband thread must be stopped before the session is deleted, to avoid a use after free. This error was detected by AddressSanitizer in the following: ==2054673==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free on address 0x61d000161e00 at pc 0x55769289de54 bp 0x7f9df36d4ab0 sp 0x7f9df36d4aa8 READ of size 8 at 0x61d000161e00 thread T1 #0 0x55769289de53 in __perf_env__insert_bpf_prog_info util/env.c:42 #1 0x55769289dbb1 in perf_env__insert_bpf_prog_info util/env.c:29 #2 0x557692bbae29 in perf_env__add_bpf_info util/bpf-event.c:483 #3 0x557692bbb01a in bpf_event__sb_cb util/bpf-event.c:512 #4 0x5576928b75f4 in perf_evlist__poll_thread util/sideband_evlist.c:68 #5 0x7f9df96a63eb in start_thread nptl/pthread_create.c:444 #6 0x7f9df9726a4b in clone3 ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone3.S:81 0x61d000161e00 is located 384 bytes inside of 2136-byte region [0x61d000161c80,0x61d0001624d8) freed by thread T0 here: #0 0x7f9dfa6d7288 in __interceptor_free libsanitizer/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cpp:52 #1 0x557692978d50 in perf_session__delete util/session.c:319 #2 0x557692673959 in __cmd_record tools/perf/builtin-record.c:2884 #3 0x55769267a9f0 in cmd_record tools/perf/builtin-record.c:4259 #4 0x55769286710c in run_builtin tools/perf/perf.c:349 #5 0x557692867678 in handle_internal_command tools/perf/perf.c:402 #6 0x557692867a40 in run_argv tools/perf/perf.c:446 #7 0x557692867fae in main tools/perf/perf.c:562 #8 0x7f9df96456c9 in __libc_start_call_main ../sysdeps/nptl/libc_start_call_main.h:58 Fixes: 657ee5531903339b ("perf evlist: Introduce side band thread") Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Disha Goel <disgoel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@xxxxxxx> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Kajol Jain <kjain@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: K Prateek Nayak <kprateek.nayak@xxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Song Liu <songliubraving@xxxxxx> Cc: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Yicong Yang <yangyicong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240301074639.2260708-1-irogers@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-record.c b/tools/perf/builtin-record.c index c40460e936ccd..ea80bf4dc4343 100644 --- a/tools/perf/builtin-record.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-record.c @@ -2822,10 +2822,10 @@ static int __cmd_record(struct record *rec, int argc, const char **argv) } #endif zstd_fini(&session->zstd_data); - perf_session__delete(session); - if (!opts->no_bpf_event) evlist__stop_sb_thread(rec->sb_evlist); + + perf_session__delete(session); return status; }
