We're missing ctx lock when iterating children siblings
within the perf_read path for group reading. Following
race and crash can happen:
User space doing read syscall on event group leader:
T1:
perf_read
lock event->ctx->mutex
perf_read_group
lock leader->child_mutex
__perf_read_group_add(child)
list_for_each_entry(sub, &leader->sibling_list, group_entry)
----> sub might be invalid at this point, because it could
get removed via perf_event_exit_task_context in T2
Child exiting and cleaning up its events:
T2:
perf_event_exit_task_context
lock ctx->mutex
list_for_each_entry_safe(child_event, next, &child_ctx->event_list,...
perf_event_exit_event(child)
lock ctx->lock
perf_group_detach(child)
unlock ctx->lock
----> child is removed from sibling_list without any sync
with T1 path above
...
free_event(child)
Before the child is removed from the leader's child_list,
(and thus is omitted from perf_read_group processing), we
need to ensure that perf_read_group touches child's
siblings under its ctx->lock.
