perf/x86: Fix event/group validation
Commit 43b4578071c0 ("perf/x86: Reduce stack usage of
x86_schedule_events()") violated the rule that 'fake' scheduling; as
used for event/group validation; should not change the event state.
This went mostly un-noticed because repeated calls of
x86_pmu::get_event_constraints() would give the same result. And
x86_pmu::put_event_constraints() would mostly not do anything.
Commit e979121b1b15 ("perf/x86/intel: Implement cross-HT corruption
bug workaround") made the situation much worse by actually setting the
event->hw.constraint value to NULL, so when validation and actual
scheduling interact we get NULL ptr derefs.
Fix it by removing the constraint pointer from the event and move it
back to an array, this time in cpuc instead of on the stack.
validate_group()
x86_schedule_events()
event->hw.constraint = c; # store
<context switch>
perf_task_event_sched_in()
...
x86_schedule_events();
event->hw.constraint = c2; # store
...
put_event_constraints(event); # assume failure to schedule
intel_put_event_constraints()
event->hw.constraint = NULL;
<context switch end>
c = event->hw.constraint; # read -> NULL
if (!test_bit(hwc->idx, c->idxmsk)) # <- *BOOM* NULL deref
This in particular is possible when the event in question is a
cpu-wide event and group-leader, where the validate_group() tries to
add an event to the group.
