      perf/core: Fix concurrent sys_perf_event_open() vs. 'move_group' race · 416bd4a3
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      commit 321027c1 upstream.
      
      Di Shen reported a race between two concurrent sys_perf_event_open()
      calls where both try and move the same pre-existing software group
      into a hardware context.
      
      The problem is exactly that described in commit:
      
        f63a8daa ("perf: Fix event->ctx locking")
      
      ... where, while we wait for a ctx->mutex acquisition, the event->ctx
      relation can have changed under us.
      
      That very same commit failed to recognise sys_perf_event_context() as an
      external access vector to the events and thereby didn't apply the
      established locking rules correctly.
      
      So while one sys_perf_event_open() call is stuck waiting on
      mutex_lock_double(), the other (which owns said locks) moves the group
      about. So by the time the former sys_perf_event_open() acquires the
      locks, the context we've acquired is stale (and possibly dead).
      
      Apply the established locking rules as per perf_event_ctx_lock_nested()
      to the mutex_lock_double() for the 'move_group' case. This obviously means
      we need to validate state after we acquire the locks.
