[ Upstream commit e4075e8bdffd93a9b6d6e1d52fabedceeca5a91b ]

if seq_file .next fuction does not change position index,
read after some lseek can generate unexpected output.

Without patch:
 # dd bs=4 skip=1 if=/sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid
 dd: /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid: cannot skip to specified offset
 id
 no pid
 2+1 records in
 2+1 records out
 10 bytes copied, 0.000213285 s, 46.9 kB/s

Notice the "id" followed by "no pid".

With the patch:
 # dd bs=4 skip=1 if=/sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid
 dd: /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid: cannot skip to specified offset
 id
 0+1 records in
 0+1 records out
 3 bytes copied, 0.000202112 s, 14.8 kB/s

Notice that it only prints "id" and not the "no pid" afterward.

[ Upstream commit 54a16ff6f2e50775145b210bcd94d62c3c2af117 ]

As function_graph tracer can run when RCU is not "watching", it can not be
protected by synchronize_rcu() it requires running a task on each CPU before
it can be freed. Calling schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) needs to be used.

commit e31f7939c1c27faa5d0e3f14519eaf7c89e8a69d upstream.

The ftrace_profile-&gt;counter is unsigned long and
do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which means it can test
non-zero and be truncated to zero for division.
Fix this issue by using div64_ul() instead.

commit 9ef16693aff8137faa21d16ffe65bb9832d24d71 upstream.

The ftrace set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace files are specific for
an instance now. They need to take a reference to the instance otherwise
there could be a race between accessing the files and deleting the instance.

It wasn't until the :mod: caching where these file operations started
referencing the trace_array directly.

commit 372e0d01da71c84dcecf7028598a33813b0d5256 upstream.

The race between adding a function probe and reading the probes that exist
is very subtle. It needs a comment. Also, the issue can also happen if the
probe has has the EMPTY_HASH as its func_hash.

commit 5b0022dd32b7c2e15edf1827ba80aa1407edf9ff upstream.

In register_ftrace_function_probe(), we are not checking the return
value of alloc_and_copy_ftrace_hash(). The subsequent call to
ftrace_match_records() may end up dereferencing the same. Add a check to
ensure this doesn't happen.

The test (ftrace_set_ftrace_filter.sh) is part of ftrace stress tests
and the crash happens when the test does 'cat
$TRACING_PATH/set_ftrace_filter'.

The address points to the second line below, in t_probe_next(), where
filter_hash is dereferenced:
  hash = iter-&gt;probe-&gt;ops.func_hash-&gt;filter_hash;
  size = 1 &lt;&lt; hash-&gt;size_bits;

This happens due to a race with register_ftrace_function_probe(). A new
ftrace_func_probe is created and added into the func_probes list in
trace_array under ftrace_lock. However, before initializing the filter,
we drop ftrace_lock, and re-acquire it after acquiring regex_lock. If
another process is trying to read set_ftrace_filter, it will be able to
acquire ftrace_lock during this window and it will end up seeing a NULL
filter_hash.

Fix this by just checking for a NULL filter_hash in t_probe_next(). If
the filter_hash is NULL, then this probe is just being added and we can
simply return from here.

<title>ftrace: Enable trampoline when rec count returns back to one</title>

[ Upstream commit a124692b698b00026a58d89831ceda2331b2e1d0 ]

Custom trampolines can only be enabled if there is only a single ops
attached to it. If there's only a single callback registered to a function,
and the ops has a trampoline registered for it, then we can call the
trampoline directly. This is very useful for improving the performance of
ftrace and livepatch.

If more than one callback is registered to a function, the general
trampoline is used, and the custom trampoline is not restored back to the
direct call even if all the other callbacks were unregistered and we are
back to one callback for the function.

To fix this, set FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag if rec count is decremented
to one, and the ops that left has a trampoline.

Testing After this patch :

insmod livepatch_unshare_files.ko
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/enabled_functions
