This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf/x86: Fix RDPMC vs. mm_struct tracking to the 4.12-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-x86-fix-rdpmc-vs.-mm_struct-tracking.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From bfe334924ccd9f4a53f30240c03cf2f43f5b2df1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2017 19:39:30 +0200 Subject: perf/x86: Fix RDPMC vs. mm_struct tracking From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit bfe334924ccd9f4a53f30240c03cf2f43f5b2df1 upstream. Vince reported the following rdpmc() testcase failure: > Failing test case: > > fd=perf_event_open(); > addr=mmap(fd); > exec() // without closing or unmapping the event > fd=perf_event_open(); > addr=mmap(fd); > rdpmc() // GPFs due to rdpmc being disabled The problem is of course that exec() plays tricks with what is current->mm, only destroying the old mappings after having installed the new mm. Fix this confusion by passing along vma->vm_mm instead of relying on current->mm.
