commit 5ae5fbd2107959b68ac69a8b75412208663aea88 upstream. Running "perf mem record" in powerpc platforms with selinux enabled resulted in soft lockup's. Below call-trace was seen in the logs: CPU: 58 PID: 3751 Comm: sssd_nss Not tainted 5.11.0-rc7+ #2 NIP: c000000000dff3d4 LR: c000000000dff3d0 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c000007fffab7d60 TRAP: 0100 Not tainted (5.11.0-rc7+) ...

In powerpc core-book3s, this function is called from perf_allow_kernel() check during recording of data address in the sample via perf_get_data_addr(). Commit da97e18458fb ("perf_event: Add support for LSM and SELinux checks") introduced security enhancements to perf. As part of this commit, the new security hook for perf_event_open() was added in all places where perf paranoid check was previously used. In powerpc core-book3s code, originally had paranoid checks in perf_get_data_addr() and power_pmu_bhrb_read(). So perf_paranoid_kernel() checks were replaced with perf_allow_kernel() in these PMU helper functions as well. The intention of paranoid checks in core-book3s was to verify privilege access before capturing some of the sample data. Along with paranoid checks, perf_allow_kernel() also does a security_perf_event_open(). Since these functions are accessed while recording a sample, we end up calling selinux_perf_event_open() in PMI context. Some of the security functions use spinlock like sidtab_sid2str_put(). If a perf interrupt hits under a spin lock and if we end up in calling selinux hook functions in PMI handler, this could cause a dead lock. Since the purpose of this security hook is to control access to perf_event_open(), it is not right to call this in interrupt context. The paranoid checks in powerpc core-book3s were done at interrupt time which is also not correct. Reference commits: Commit cd1231d7035f ("powerpc/perf: Prevent kernel address leak via perf_get_data_addr()") Commit bb19af816025 ("powerpc/perf: Prevent kernel address leak to userspace via BHRB buffer") We only allow creation of events that have already passed the privilege checks in perf_event_open(). So these paranoid checks are not needed at event time. As a fix, patch uses 'event->attr.exclude_kernel' check to prevent exposing kernel address for userspace only sampling.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
