perf/core: Do not resurrect cpuctx->cgrp after last cgroup event exit
perf_cgroup_switch() relies on:
/*
* cpuctx->cgrp is set when the first cgroup event enabled,
* and is cleared when the last cgroup event disabled.
*/
It computes the next task's cgroup, schedules out the CPU context and
then assigns cpuctx->cgrp unconditionally:
ctx_sched_out(&cpuctx->ctx, NULL, EVENT_ALL|EVENT_CGROUP);
/*
* must not be done before ctxswout due
* to update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx() in
* ctx_sched_out()
*/
cpuctx->cgrp = cgrp;
However, ctx_sched_out() can disable events itself. If a cgroup event
has a pending disable from perf_event_disable_inatomic() (e.g. its
PERF_EVENT_IOC_REFRESH limit ran out) that the irq_work has not
handled yet, event_sched_out() consumes it inline:
if (event->pending_disable) {
event->pending_disable = 0;
perf_cgroup_event_disable(event, ctx);
state = PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF;
}
If that was the last cgroup event, perf_cgroup_event_disable() clears
cpuctx->cgrp:
if (--ctx->nr_cgroups)
return;
cpuctx->cgrp = NULL;
and perf_cgroup_switch() then sets it again. cpuctx->cgrp is left
non-NULL with ctx.nr_cgroups == 0, so the NULL check in
perf_cgroup_switch() no longer catches it and the next switch trips:
WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx->ctx.nr_cgroups == 0);
cpuctx->cgrp does not hold a reference on the cgroup. Once that cgroup
is removed, the next ctx_sched_in() dereferences the stale pointer:

Only assign cpuctx->cgrp when cgroup events remain after the context
has been scheduled out, so that it stays NULL as the invariant
requires.
