Subject[PATCH 02/34] perf record: Fix segfault when running with suid and kptr_restrict is 1
Date
Before this patch perf panic if kptr_restrict set to 1 and perf is owned
by root with suid set:

$ whoami
wangnan
$ ls -l ./perf
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 19781908 Sep 21 19:29 /home/wangnan/perf
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
1
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
-1
$ ./perf record -a
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The reason is perf assumes it is allowed to read kptr from /proc/kallsyms
when euid is root, but in fact kernel doesn't allow it reading kptr when
euid and uid are not match with each other:

$ cp /bin/cat .
$ sudo chown root:root ./cat
$ sudo chmod u+s ./cat
$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep do_fork
0000000000000000 T _do_fork <--- kptr is hidden even euid is root
$ sudo cat /proc/kallsyms | grep do_fork
ffffffff81080230 T _do_fork

See lib/vsprintf.c for kernel side code.

This patch fixes this problem by checking both uid and euid.
