Commitf733c6b508("perf/core: Fix inheritance of aux_output groups") adds a NULL pointer dereference in case inherit_group() races with perf_release(), which causes the below crash: > BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000010b > #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode > #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page > PGD 3b203b067 P4D 3b203b067 PUD 3b2040067 PMD 0 > Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN > CPU: 0 PID: 315 Comm: exclusive-group Tainted: G B 5.4.0-rc3-00181-g72e1839403cb-dirty #878 > RIP: 0010:perf_get_aux_event+0x86/0x270 > Call Trace: > ? __perf_read_group_add+0x3b0/0x3b0 > ? __kasan_check_write+0x14/0x20 > ? __perf_event_init_context+0x154/0x170 > inherit_task_group.isra.0.part.0+0x14b/0x170 > perf_event_init_task+0x296/0x4b0 Fix this by skipping over events that are getting closed, in the inheritance path.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
