Description
I witnessed a NULL pointer dereference when testing a feature I am working on.
The NULL deref occurs when adding a perf event context.
This occurs on my Qemu VM with a single CPU with built-in LTTng modules.I haven't tested with regular loadable modules at this time. I attached the .config to this issue.
In the following code the pevent variable is NULL when calling perf_event_release_kernel()
142 int lttng_cpuhp_perf_counter_dead(unsigned int cpu,
│ 143 struct lttng_cpuhp_node *node)
│ 144 {
│ 145 struct lttng_perf_counter_field *perf_field =
│ 146 container_of(node, struct lttng_perf_counter_field,
│ 147 cpuhp_prepare);
│ 148 struct perf_event **events = perf_field->e;
│ 149 struct perf_event *pevent;
│ 150
│ 151 pevent = events[cpu];
│ 152 events[cpu] = NULL;
│ 153 barrier(); /* NULLify event before perf counter teardown */
│ > 154 perf_event_release_kernel(pevent);
│ 155 return 0;
│ 156 }
│ 157
