[PATCH 5.15 230/484] perf: Fix event leak upon exit

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2fd5ad3f310de22836cdacae919dd99d758a1f1b upstream.

When a task is scheduled out, pending sigtrap deliveries are deferred
to the target task upon resume to userspace via task_work.

However failures while adding an event's callback to the task_work
engine are ignored. And since the last call for events exit happen
after task work is eventually closed, there is a small window during
which pending sigtrap can be queued though ignored, leaking the event
refcount addition such as in the following scenario:

    TASK A
    -----

    do_exit()
       exit_task_work(tsk);

       <IRQ>
       perf_event_overflow()
          event->pending_sigtrap = pending_id;
          irq_work_queue(&event->pending_irq);
       </IRQ>
    =========> PREEMPTION: TASK A -> TASK B
       event_sched_out()
          event->pending_sigtrap = 0;
          atomic_long_inc_not_zero(&event->refcount)
          // FAILS: task work has exited
          task_work_add(&event->pending_task)
       [...]
       <IRQ WORK>
       perf_pending_irq()
          // early return: event->oncpu = -1
       </IRQ WORK>
       [...]
    =========> TASK B -> TASK A
       perf_event_exit_task(tsk)
          perf_event_exit_event()
             free_event()
                WARN(atomic_long_cmpxchg(&event->refcount, 1, 0) != 1)
                // leak event due to unexpected refcount == 2

As a result the event is never released while the task exits.

Fix this with appropriate task_work_add()'s error handling.
