4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Heiko Carstens <redacted>
commit d6e646ad7cfa7034d280459b2b2546288f247144 upstream.
For PREEMPT enabled kernels the runtime instrumentation (RI) code
contains a possible use-after-free bug. If a task that makes use of RI
exits, it will execute do_exit() while still enabled for preemption.
That function will call exit_thread_runtime_instr() via
exit_thread(). If exit_thread_runtime_instr() gets preempted after the
RI control block of the task has been freed but before the pointer to
it is set to NULL, then save_ri_cb(), called from switch_to(), will
write to already freed memory.
Avoid this and simply disable preemption while freeing the control
block and setting the pointer to NULL.
Fixes: e4b8b3f33fca ("s390: add support for runtime instrumentation")
