In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/cpum_cf: Handle CPU hotplug via prepare/dead callbacks
The command 'perf stat -e cycles -- ' crashes the kernel when CPUs are hotplug added during that run.
Root cause is the allocation of struct cpu_cf_events at first event initialization. The allocation is dynamic and the first event that has task context creates such a structure for each online CPU. This is not sufficient. CPUs may be offline during event creation and can be set online during the perf run time. For example commands
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
perf stat -e cycles -i -- stress-ng -t10s --matrix X
sleep 1
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
create an event for CPUs 0,2-X. Since the events are created with task-context, the scheduler will eventually schedule the program on CPU1. This CPU has not created and initialized any per CPU event infrastructure as that CPU was not online at the time of the
