KVM: Protect vcpu->pid dereference via debugfs with RCU
Wrap the vcpu->pid dereference in the debugfs hook vcpu_get_pid() with proper RCU read (un)lock. Unlike the code in kvm_vcpu_ioctl(), vcpu_get_pid() is not a simple access; the pid pointer is passed to pid_nr() and fully dereferenced if the pointer is non-NULL. Failure to acquire RCU could result in use-after-free of the old pid if a different task invokes KVM_RUN and puts the last reference to the old vcpu->pid between vcpu_get_pid() reading the pointer and dereferencing it in pid_nr(). Fixes: e36de87d34a7 ("KVM: debugfs: expose pid of vcpu threads") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230211010719.982919-1-seanjc@google.com Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
