For events with inherit_stat enabled, a "read" event will be generated
to collect per task event counts on task exit.
The call chain is as follows:
do_exit
-> perf_event_exit_task
-> perf_event_exit_task_context
-> perf_event_exit_event
-> perf_remove_from_context
-> perf_child_detach
-> sync_child_event
-> perf_event_read_event
However, the child event context detaches the task too early in
perf_event_exit_task_context, which causes sync_child_event to never
generate the read event in this case, since child_event->ctx->task is
always set to TASK_TOMBSTONE. Fix that by moving context lock section
backward to ensure ctx->task is not set to TASK_TOMBSTONE before
generating the read event.
Because perf_event_free_task calls perf_event_exit_task_context with
exit = false to tear down all child events from the context, and the
task never lived, accessing the task PID can lead to a use-after-free.
To fix that, let sync_child_event read task from argument and move the
call to the only place it should be triggered to avoid the effect of
setting ctx->task to TASK_TOMESTONE, and add a task parameter to
perf_event_exit_event to trigger the sync_child_event properly when
needed.
This bug can be reproduced by running "perf record -s" and attaching to
any program that generates perf events in its child tasks. If we check
the result with "perf report -T", the last line of the report will leave
an empty table like "# PID TID", which is expected to contain the
per-task event counts by design.
