coresight: tmc-etf: Fix NULL ptr dereference in tmc_enable_etf_sink_perf()
There was a report of NULL pointer dereference in ETF enable path for perf CS mode with PID monitoring. It is almost 100% reproducible when the process to monitor is something very active such as chrome and with ETF as the sink and not ETR. Currently in a bid to find the pid, the owner is dereferenced via task_pid_nr() call in tmc_enable_etf_sink_perf() and with owner being NULL, we get a NULL pointer dereference. Looking at the ETR and other places in the kernel, ETF and the ETB are the only places trying to dereference the task(owner) in tmc_enable_etf_sink_perf() which is also called from the sched_in path as in the call trace. Owner(task) is NULL even in the case of ETR in tmc_enable_etr_sink_perf(), but since we cache the PID in alloc_buffer() callback and it is done as part of etm_setup_aux() when allocating buffer for ETR sink, we never dereference this NULL pointer and we are safe. So lets do the same thing with ETF and cache the PID to which the cs_buffer belongs in tmc_alloc_etf_buffer() as done for ETR. This will also remove the unnecessary function calls(task_pid_nr()) since we are caching the PID. Easily reproducible running below: perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etf0/ -N -p <pid> Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000548 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x96000006 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000006 CM = 0, WnR = 0 <snip>...
