fkie_cve-2026-93275

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

perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix stop/start with no update

If pt_event_stop() is called without PERF_EF_UPDATE flag, then perf_aux_output_end() is not called. A subsequent call to pt_event_start() will call perf_aux_output_begin() again which violates the rule against nesting and triggers a WARNING in perf_aux_output_begin().

Originally, pt_event_stop() was never called without PERF_EF_UPDATE, because the only code paths to do so are from event overflow, and Intel PT does not do that.

However the introduction of group throttling by commit 9734e25fbf5ae ("perf: Fix the throttle logic for a group") meant that an Intel PT event could be throttled if it was part of a group. Throttling calls PMU ->stop() / ->start() callbacks without flags.

An example is when AUX area sampling is used. The following commands hit the issue:

echo 10000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate

perf record -F32000 --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,cycles:u}' \ -- bash -c 'for i in `seq 1 100000` ; do true ; done'

Use PERF_HES_UPTODATE to track whether perf_aux_output_begin() and perf_aux_output_end() are balanced. A cleared PERF_HES_UPTODATE bit indicates that an AUX output context is still open.

Amend pt_event_start() / pt_event_stop() accordingly so that begin/end stay balanced:

- In non-snapshot mode, stop() always closes the buffer (the buffer may have run out of space, and that accounting is done by the update), s…
