map_range() reads rb->aux_pages[], rb->aux_nr_pages and rb->aux_pgoff via
perf_mmap_to_page() while holding only event->mmap_mutex. Those fields are
serialized by rb->aux_mutex, and mmap_mutex is per event.
Thus, two events sharing one rb via PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT can race
rb_alloc_aux() with map_range(), leading to a page-UAF scenario as follows:
CPU 0 CPU 1
===== =====
rb_alloc_aux() map_range()
[1]: allocate rb->aux_pages[0]
[2]: rb->aux_nr_pages++
[3]: perf_mmap_to_page()
returns rb->aux_pages[0]
[4]: map it as VM_PFNMAP
[5]: rb->aux_pgoff = 1
munmap the page
[6]: free rb->aux_pages[0]
Pages mapped as VM_PFNMAP have no refcount protection, so CPU 1 holds a
mapping to a freed physical frame.
Fix this by taking rb->aux_mutex across the page walk in map_range().
