commit d0a3022f30629a208e5944022caeca3568add9e7 upstream.

When users register an event the name of the event and it's argument are
checked to ensure they match if the event already exists. Normally all
arguments are in the form of "type name", except for when the type
starts with "struct ". In those cases, the size of the struct is passed
in addition to the name, IE: "struct my_struct a 20" for an argument
that is of type "struct my_struct" with a field name of "a" and has the
size of 20 bytes.

The current code does not honor the above case properly when comparing
a match. This causes the event register to fail even when the same
string was used for events that contain a struct argument within them.
The example above "struct my_struct a 20" generates a match string of
"struct my_struct a" omitting the size field.

Add the struct size of the existing field when generating a comparison
string for a struct field to ensure proper match checking.

commit f6d026eea390d59787a6cdc2ef5c983d02e029d0 upstream.

The writing operation return the count of writes regardless of whether events
are enabled or disabled. Switch it to return -EBADF to indicates that the event
is disabled.

[ Upstream commit cd98c93286a30cc4588dfd02453bec63c2f4acf4 ]

The write index indicates which event the data is for and accesses a
per-file array. The index is passed by user processes during write()
calls as the first 4 bytes. Ensure that it cannot be negative by
returning -EINVAL to prevent out of bounds accesses.

Update ftrace self-test to ensure this occurs properly.

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.

Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...

In order to enable namespaces or any sort of isolation within
user_events the register lock and pages need to be broken up into
groups. Each event and file now has a group pointer which stores the
actual pages to map, lookup data and synchronization objects.

This only enables a single group that maps to init_user_ns, as IMA
namespace has done. This enables user_events to start the work of
supporting namespaces by walking the namespaces up to the init_user_ns.
Future patches will address other user namespaces and will align to the
approaches the IMA namespace uses.

User processes may require many events and when they do the cache
performance of a byte index status check is less ideal than a bit index.
The previous event limit per-page was 4096, the new limit is 32,768.

This change adds a bitwise index to the user_reg struct. Programs check
that the bit at status_bit has a bit set within the status page(s).

User processes could open up enough event references to cause rollovers.
These could cause use after free scenarios, which we do not want.
Switching to refcount APIs prevent this, but will leak memory once
saturated.

Once saturated, user processes can still use the events. This prevents
a bad user process from stopping existing telemetry from being emitted.

User processes can provide bad strings that may cause issues or leak
kernel details back out. Don't trust the content of these strings
when formatting strings for matching.

This also moves to a consistent dynamic length string creation model.
