[ Upstream commit 79c9ce57eb2d5f1497546a3946b4ae21b6fdc438 ]
Jann reported that the ptrace_may_access() check in
find_lively_task_by_vpid() is racy against exec().
Specifically:
perf_event_open() execve()
ptrace_may_access()
commit_creds()
... if (get_dumpable() != SUID_DUMP_USER)
perf_event_exit_task();
perf_install_in_context()
would result in installing a counter across the creds boundary.
Fix this by wrapping lots of perf_event_open() in cred_guard_mutex.
This should be fine as perf_event_exit_task() is already called with
cred_guard_mutex held, so all perf locks already nest inside it.
