In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: Make sure to use pmu_ctx->pmu for groups
Oliver reported that x86_pmu_del() ended up doing an out-of-bound memory access when group_sched_in() fails and needs to roll back.
This should be handled by the transaction callbacks, but he found that when the group leader is a software event, the transaction handlers of the wrong PMU are used. Despite the move_group case in perf_event_open() and group_sched_in() using pmu_ctx->pmu.
Turns out, inherit uses event->pmu to clone the events, effectively undoing the move_group case for all inherited contexts. Fix this by also making inherit use pmu_ctx->pmu, ensuring all inherited counters end up in the same pmu context.
Similarly, __perf_event_read() should use equally use pmu_ctx->pmu for the group case.
