commit d5b844a2cf507fc7642c9ae80a9d585db3065c28 upstream.

The commit 9f255b632bf12c4dd7 ("module: Fix livepatch/ftrace module text
permissions race") causes a possible deadlock between register_kprobe()
and ftrace_run_update_code() when ftrace is using stop_machine().

The existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-&gt; #1 (text_mutex){+.+.}:
       validate_chain.isra.21+0xb32/0xd70
       __lock_acquire+0x4b8/0x928

       ret_from_fork+0x30/0x34
       kernel_thread_starter+0x0/0xc

-&gt; #0 (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}:

       validate_chain.isra.21+0xb32/0xd70

       cpus_read_lock+0x62/0xd0

       register_ftrace_function+0x64/0x88
       klp_patch_object+0x1a2/0x290
       klp_enable_patch+0x554/0x980
       do_one_initcall+0x70/0x318
       do_init_module+0x6e/0x250
       load_module+0x1782/0x1990
       __s390x_sys_finit_module+0xaa/0xf0
       system_call+0xd8/0x2d0

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(text_mutex);
                               lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
                               lock(text_mutex);
  lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);

It is similar problem that has been solved by the commit 2d1e38f56622b9b
("kprobes: Cure hotplug lock ordering issues"). Many locks are involved.
To be on the safe side, text_mutex must become a low level lock taken
after cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem.

This can't be achieved easily with the current ftrace design.
For example, arm calls set_all_modules_text_rw() already in
ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare(), see arch/arm/kernel/ftrace.c.
This functions is called:

  + outside stop_machine() from ftrace_run_update_code()
  + without stop_machine() from ftrace_module_enable()

Fortunately, the problematic fix is needed only on x86_64. It is
the only architecture that calls set_all_modules_text_rw()
in ftrace path and supports livepatching at the same time.

Therefore it is enough to move text_mutex handling from the generic
kernel/trace/ftrace.c into arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:

   ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
   ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()

This patch basically reverts the ftrace part of the problematic
commit 9f255b632bf12c4dd7 ("module: Fix livepatch/ftrace module
text permissions race"). And provides x86_64 specific-fix.

Some refactoring of the ftrace code will be needed when livepatching
is implemented for arm or nds32. These architectures call
set_all_modules_text_rw() and use stop_machine() at the same time.

[ Upstream commit 04e03d9a616c19a47178eaca835358610e63a1dd ]

The mapper may be NULL when called from register_ftrace_function_probe()

This issue can be reproduced as follow (it may be covered by compiler
optimization sometime):

[ Upstream commit 9f255b632bf12c4dd7fc31caee89aa991ef75176 ]

It's possible for livepatch and ftrace to be toggling a module's text
permissions at the same time, resulting in the following panic:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc005b1d9
  #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode

The above panic occurs when loading two modules at the same time with
ftrace enabled, where at least one of the modules is a livepatch module:

  klp_init_object_loaded()
    module_disable_ro()

      klp_write_object_relocations()
        apply_relocate_add()
	  *patches read-only code* - BOOM

A similar race exists when toggling ftrace while loading a livepatch
module.

Fix it by ensuring that the livepatch and ftrace code patching
operations -- and their respective permissions changes -- are protected
by the text_mutex.

[ Upstream commit cbdaeaf050b730ea02e9ab4ff844ce54d85dbe1d ]

Selecting HAVE_NOP_MCOUNT enables -mnop-mcount (if gcc supports it)
and sets CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT. Reuse __is_defined (which is suitable for
testing CC_USING_* defines) to avoid conditional compilation and fix
the following gcc 9 warning on s390:

kernel/trace/ftrace.c:2514:1: warning: ‘ftrace_code_disable’ defined
but not used [-Wunused-function]

return address incorrectly on kretprobe shadow stack.

<title>ftrace: Allow enabling of filters via index of available_filter_functions</title>

<id>f79b3f338564e7674dbe6375bcf685c2ba483efe</id>
<content type='text'>
Enabling of large number of functions by echoing in a large subset of the
functions in available_filter_functions can take a very long time. The
process requires testing all functions registered by the function tracer
(which is in the 10s of thousands), and doing a kallsyms lookup to convert
the ip address into a name, then comparing that name with the string passed
in.

When a function causes the function tracer to crash the system, a binary
bisect of the available_filter_functions can be done to find the culprit.
But this requires passing in half of the functions in
available_filter_functions over and over again, which makes it basically a
O(n^2) operation. With 40,000 functions, that ends up bing 1,600,000,000
opertions! And enabling this can take over 20 minutes.

As a quick speed up, if a number is passed into one of the filter files,
instead of doing a search, it just enables the function at the corresponding
line of the available_filter_functions file. That is:

 # echo 50 &gt; set_ftrace_filter
 # cat set_ftrace_filter
 x86_pmu_commit_txn

 # head -50 available_filter_functions | tail -1
 x86_pmu_commit_txn

This allows setting of half the available_filter_functions to take place in
less than a second!

 # time seq 20000 &gt; set_ftrace_filter
 real    0m0.042s
 user    0m0.005s
 sys     0m0.015s

 # wc -l set_ftrace_filter
 20000 set_ftrace_filter

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
   the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.

 - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This
   will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the
   callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having
   kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.

 - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
   features to the histograms in the future.

 - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is
   a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only
   returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in
   the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.

 - A few other various clean ups as well.

<title>tracing: Fix memory leak of instance function hash filters</title>

<id>2840f84f74035e5a535959d5f17269c69fa6edc5</id>
<content type='text'>
The following commands will cause a memory leak:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # echo schedule &gt; instance/foo/set_ftrace_filter
 # rmdir instances/foo

The reason is that the hashes that hold the filters to set_ftrace_filter and
set_ftrace_notrace are not freed if they contain any data on the instance
and the instance is removed.

Found by kmemleak detector.
