commit 5790b1fb3d672d9a1fe3881a7181dfdbe741568f upstream.
Instead of having a descriptor for every file represented in the eventfs
directory, only have the directory itself represented. Change the API to
send in a list of entries that represent all the files in the directory
(but not other directories). The entry list contains a name and a callback
function that will be used to create the files when they are accessed.
struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_events_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent,
const struct eventfs_entry *entries,
int size, void *data);
is used for the top level eventfs directory, and returns an eventfs_inode
that will be used by:
struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct eventfs_inode *parent,
const struct eventfs_entry *entries,
int size, void *data);
where both of the above take an array of struct eventfs_entry entries for
every file that is in the directory.
The entries are defined by:
typedef int (*eventfs_callback)(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data,
const struct file_operations **fops);
struct eventfs_entry {
const char *name;
eventfs_callback callback;
};
Where the name is the name of the file and the callback gets called when
the file is being created. The callback passes in the name (in case the
same callback is used for multiple files), a pointer to the mode, data and
fops. The data will be pointing to the data that was passed in
eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir() but may be overridden
to point to something else, as it will be used to point to the
inode->i_private that is created. The information passed back from the
callback is used to create the dentry/inode.
If the callback fills the data and the file should be created, it must
return a positive number. On zero or negative, the file is ignored.
This logic may also be used as a prototype to convert entire pseudo file
systems into just-in-time allocation.
The "show_events_dentry" file has been updated to show the directories,
and any files they have.
With just the eventfs_file allocations:

commit 2394ac4145ea91b92271e675a09af2a9ea6840b7 upstream.
The allocation of the struct saved_cmdlines_buffer structure changed from:
s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s), GFP_KERNEL);
s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL);
to:
orig_size = sizeof(*s) + val * TASK_COMM_LEN;
order = get_order(orig_size);
size = 1 << (order + PAGE_SHIFT);
page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, order);
if (!page)
return NULL;
s = page_address(page);
memset(s, 0, sizeof(*s));
s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL);
Where that s->saved_cmdlines allocation looks to be a dangling allocation
to kmemleak. That's because kmemleak only keeps track of kmalloc()
allocations. For allocations that use page_alloc() directly, the kmemleak
needs to be explicitly informed about it.
Add kmemleak_alloc() and kmemleak_free() around the page allocation so
that it doesn't give the following false positive:

commit 44dc5c41b5b1267d4dd037d26afc0c4d3a568acb upstream.
While looking at improving the saved_cmdlines cache I found a huge amount
of wasted memory that should be used for the cmdlines.
The tracing data saves pids during the trace. At sched switch, if a trace
occurred, it will save the comm of the task that did the trace. This is
saved in a "cache" that maps pids to comms and exposed to user space via
the /sys/kernel/tracing/saved_cmdlines file. Currently it only caches by
default 128 comms.
The structure that uses this creates an array to store the pids using
PID_MAX_DEFAULT (which is usually set to 32768). This causes the structure
to be of the size of 131104 bytes on 64 bit machines.
In hex: 131104 = 0x20020, and since the kernel allocates generic memory in
powers of two, the kernel would allocate 0x40000 or 262144 bytes to store
this structure. That leaves 131040 bytes of wasted space.
Worse, the structure points to an allocated array to store the comm names,
which is 16 bytes times the amount of names to save (currently 128), which
is 2048 bytes. Instead of allocating a separate array, make the structure
end with a variable length string and use the extra space for that.
This is similar to a recommendation that Linus had made about eventfs_inode names:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240130190355.11486-5-torvalds@linux-foundation.org/
Instead of allocating a separate string array to hold the saved comms,
have the structure end with: char saved_cmdlines[]; and round up to the
next power of two over sizeof(struct saved_cmdline_buffers) + num_cmdlines * TASK_COMM_LEN
It will use this extra space for the saved_cmdline portion.
Now, instead of saving only 128 comms by default, by using this wasted
space at the end of the structure it can save over 8000 comms and even
saves space by removing the need for allocating the other array.

but 'trace_event_file' has been freed due to the instance being removed.
'hist_debug' file has the same problem. To fix it, call

commit 39a7dc23a1ed0fe81141792a09449d124c5953bd upstream.
If an application blocks on the snapshot or snapshot_raw files, expecting
to be woken up when a snapshot occurs, it will not happen. Or it may
happen with an unexpected result.
That result is that the application will be reading the main buffer
instead of the snapshot buffer. That is because when the snapshot occurs,
the main and snapshot buffers are swapped. But the reader has a descriptor
still pointing to the buffer that it originally connected to.
This is fine for the main buffer readers, as they may be blocked waiting
for a watermark to be hit, and when a snapshot occurs, the data that the
main readers want is now on the snapshot buffer.
But for waiters of the snapshot buffer, they are waiting for an event to
occur that will trigger the snapshot and they can then consume it quickly
to save the snapshot before the next snapshot occurs. But to do this, they
need to read the new snapshot buffer, not the old one that is now
receiving new data.
Also, it does not make sense to have a watermark "buffer_percent" on the
snapshot buffer, as the snapshot buffer is static and does not receive new
data except all at once.

commit d06aff1cb13d2a0d52b48e605462518149c98c81 upstream.
The snapshot buffer is to mimic the main buffer so that when a snapshot is
needed, the snapshot and main buffer are swapped. When the snapshot buffer
is allocated, it is set to the minimal size that the ring buffer may be at
and still functional. When it is allocated it becomes the same size as the
main ring buffer, and when the main ring buffer changes in size, it should
do.
Currently, the resize only updates the snapshot buffer if it's used by the
current tracer (ie. the preemptirqsoff tracer). But it needs to be updated
anytime it is allocated.
When changing the size of the main buffer, instead of looking to see if
the current tracer is utilizing the snapshot buffer, just check if it is
allocated to know if it should be updated or not.
Also fix typo in comment just above the code change.

commit c0591b1cccf708a47bc465c62436d669a4213323 upstream.
Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is responsible for freeing pages
backing buffered events and this process can run concurrently with
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve().
The following race is currently possible:
* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called on CPU 0. It
increments trace_buffered_event_cnt on each CPU and waits via
synchronize_rcu() for each user of trace_buffered_event to complete.
* After synchronize_rcu() is finished, function
trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to
trace_buffered_event. All counters trace_buffered_event_cnt are at 1
and all pointers trace_buffered_event are still valid.
* At this point, on a different CPU 1, the execution reaches
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve(). The function calls
preempt_disable_notrace() and only now enters an RCU read-side
critical section. The function proceeds and reads a still valid
pointer from trace_buffered_event[CPU1] into the local variable
"entry". However, it doesn't yet read trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1]
which happens later.
* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() continues. It frees
trace_buffered_event[CPU1] and decrements
trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] back to 0.
* Function trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() continues. It reads and
increments trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] from 0 to 1. This makes it
believe that it can use the "entry" that it already obtained but the
pointer is now invalid and any access results in a use-after-free.
Fix the problem by making a second synchronize_rcu() call after all
trace_buffered_event values are set to NULL. This waits on all potential
users in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() that still read a previous
pointer from trace_buffered_event.

For instance, it can be triggered by running these two commands in
parallel:
$ while true; do
echo hist:key=id.syscall:val=hitcount > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger;
done
$ stress-ng --sysinfo $(nproc)
The warning indicates that the current ring_buffer_per_cpu is not in the
committing state. It happens because the active ring_buffer_event
doesn't actually come from the ring_buffer_per_cpu but is allocated from
trace_buffered_event.
The bug is in function trace_buffered_event_disable() where the
following normally happens:
* The code invokes disable_trace_buffered_event() via
smp_call_function_many() and follows it by synchronize_rcu(). This
increments the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event_cnt on each
target CPU and grants trace_buffered_event_disable() the exclusive
access to the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event.
* Maintenance is performed on trace_buffered_event, all per-CPU event
buffers get freed.
* The code invokes enable_trace_buffered_event() via
smp_call_function_many(). This decrements trace_buffered_event_cnt and
releases the access to trace_buffered_event.
A problem is that smp_call_function_many() runs a given function on all
target CPUs except on the current one. The following can then occur:
* Task X executing trace_buffered_event_disable() runs on CPU 0.
* The control reaches synchronize_rcu() and the task gets rescheduled on
another CPU 1.
* The RCU synchronization finishes. At this point,
trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to all
trace_buffered_event variables except trace_buffered_event[CPU0]
because trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is never incremented and if the
buffer is currently unused, remains set to 0.
* A different task Y is scheduled on CPU 0 and hits a trace event. The
code in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() sees that
trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is set to 0 and decides the use the
buffer provided by trace_buffered_event[CPU0].
* Task X continues its execution in trace_buffered_event_disable(). The
code incorrectly frees the event buffer pointed by
trace_buffered_event[CPU0] and resets the variable to NULL.
* Task Y writes event data to the now freed buffer and later detects the
created inconsistency.
The issue is observable since commit dea499781a11 ("tracing: Fix warning
in trace_buffered_event_disable()") which moved the call of
trace_buffered_event_disable() in __ftrace_event_enable_disable()
earlier, prior to invoking call->class->reg(.. TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER ..).
The underlying problem in trace_buffered_event_disable() is however
present since the original implementation in commit 0fc1b09ff1ff
("tracing: Use temp buffer when filtering events").
Fix the problem by replacing the two smp_call_function_many() calls with
on_each_cpu_mask() which invokes a given callback on all CPUs.

commit b538bf7d0ec11ca49f536dfda742a5f6db90a798 upstream.
It use to be that only the top level instance had a snapshot buffer (for
latency tracers like wakeup and irqsoff). When stopping a tracer in an
instance would not disable the snapshot buffer. This could have some
unintended consequences if the irqsoff tracer is enabled.
Consolidate the tracing_start/stop() with tracing_start/stop_tr() so that
all instances behave the same. The tracing_start/stop() functions will
just call their respective tracing_start/stop_tr() with the global_array
passed in.
