Subject: [PATCH 4.19 12/44] perf: Fix sys_perf_event_open() race against self

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

commit 3ac6487e584a1eb54071dbe1212e05b884136704 upstream.

Norbert reported that it's possible to race sys_perf_event_open() such
that the looser ends up in another context from the group leader,
triggering many WARNs.

The move_group case checks for races against itself, but the
!move_group case doesn't, seemingly relying on the previous
group_leader->ctx == ctx check. However, that check is racy due to not
holding any locks at that time.

Therefore, re-check the result after acquiring locks and bailing
if they no longer match.

Additionally, clarify the not_move_group case from the
move_group-vs-move_group race.

Fixes: f63a8daa5812 ("perf: Fix event->ctx locking")
