Ubuntu: (CVE-2022-49607): linux vulnerability

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

perf/core: Fix data race between perf_event_set_output() and perf_mmap_close()

Yang Jihing reported a race between perf_event_set_output() and
perf_mmap_close():

CPU1 CPU2

perf_mmap_close(e2)
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&e2->rb->mmap_count)) // 1 - > 0
detach_rest = true

ioctl(e1, IOC_SET_OUTPUT, e2)
perf_event_set_output(e1, e2)

...
list_for_each_entry_rcu(e, &e2->rb->event_list, rb_entry)
ring_buffer_attach(e, NULL);
// e1 isn't yet added and
// therefore not detached

ring_buffer_attach(e1, e2->rb)
list_add_rcu(&e1->rb_entry,
&e2->rb->event_list)

After this; e1 is attached to an unmapped rb and a subsequent
perf_mmap() will loop forever more:

again:
mutex_lock(&e->mmap_mutex);
if (event->rb) {
...
if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&e->rb->mmap_count)) {
...
mutex_unlock(&e->mmap_mutex);
goto again;
}
}

The loop in perf_mmap_close() holds e2->mmap_mutex, while the attach
in perf_event_set_output() holds e1->mmap_mutex. As such there is no
serialization to avoid this race.

Change perf_event_set_output() to take both e1->mmap_mutex and
e2->mmap_mutex to alleviate that problem. Additionally, have the loop
in perf_mmap() detach the rb directly, this avoids having to wait for
the concurrent perf_mmap_close() to get around to doing it to make
progress.
