Subject: perf: Fix perf mmap bugs
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 26cb63ad11e04047a64309362674bcbbd6a6f246 upstream.
Vince reported a problem found by his perf specific trinity
fuzzer.
Al noticed 2 problems with perf's mmap():
- it has issues against fork() since we use vma->vm_mm for accounting.
- it has an rb refcount leak on double mmap().
We fix the issues against fork() by using VM_DONTCOPY; I don't
think there's code out there that uses this; we didn't hear
about weird accounting problems/crashes. If we do need this to
work, the previously proposed VM_PINNED could make this work.
Aside from the rb reference leak spotted by Al, Vince's example
prog was indeed doing a double mmap() through the use of
perf_event_set_output().
This exposes another problem, since we now have 2 events with
one buffer, the accounting gets screwy because we account per
event. Fix this by making the buffer responsible for its own
accounting.
[Backporting for 3.4-stable.
VM_RESERVED flag was replaced with pair 'VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP' in
314e51b9 since 3.7.0-rc1, and 314e51b9 comes from a big patchset, we didn't
backport the patchset, so I restored 'VM_DNOTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP' as before:
- vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTCOPY | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP;
+ vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTCOPY | VM_RESERVED;
