perf: Fix race in removing an event
When removing a (sibling) event we do:
raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
perf_group_detach(event);
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock);
<hole>
perf_remove_from_context(event);
raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
...
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock);
Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for
things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the
groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling.
So, if during <hole> we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event
and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the
PMU.
The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is
inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all
other lists.
Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed!
Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same
ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has.
The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is
likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups
too and we're tearing down just the same. But leave that for another
patch.
Most-likely-Fixes: e03a9a55b4e ("perf: Change close() semantics for group events")
