commit bcee5278958802b40ee8b26679155a6d9231783e upstream.

When the instances were able to use their own options, the userstacktrace
option was left hardcoded for the top level. This made the instance
userstacktrace option bascially into a nop, and will confuse users that set
it, but nothing happens (I was confused when it happened to me!)

<title>ftrace: Fix updating FTRACE_FL_TRAMP</title>

commit 4c75b0ff4e4bf7a45b5aef9639799719c28d0073 upstream.

On powerpc, kprobe-direct.tc triggered FTRACE_WARN_ON() in
ftrace_get_addr_new() followed by the below message:
  Bad trampoline accounting at: 000000004222522f (wake_up_process+0xc/0x20) (f0000001)

The set of steps leading to this involved:
- modprobe ftrace-direct-too
- enable_probe
- modprobe ftrace-direct
- rmmod ftrace-direct &lt;-- trigger

The problem turned out to be that we were not updating flags in the
ftrace record properly. From the above message about the trampoline
accounting being bad, it can be seen that the ftrace record still has
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP set though ftrace-direct module is going away. This
happens because we are checking if any ftrace_ops has the
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag set _before_ updating the filter hash.

The fix for this is to look for any _other_ ftrace_ops that also needs
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP.

[ Upstream commit b02414c8f045ab3b9afc816c3735bc98c5c3d262 ]

The recursion protection of the ring buffer depends on preempt_count() to be
correct. But it is possible that the ring buffer gets called after an
interrupt comes in but before it updates the preempt_count(). This will
trigger a false positive in the recursion code.

Use the same trick from the ftrace function callback recursion code which
uses a "transition" bit that gets set, to allow for a single recursion for
to handle transitions between contexts.

commit c1acb4ac1a892cf08d27efcb964ad281728b0545 upstream.

The nesting count of trace_printk allows for 4 levels of nesting. The
nesting counter starts at zero and is incremented before being used to
retrieve the current context's buffer. But the index to the buffer uses the
nesting counter after it was incremented, and not its original number,
which in needs to do.

<title>ftrace: Handle tracing when switching between context</title>

commit 726b3d3f141fba6f841d715fc4d8a4a84f02c02a upstream.

When an interrupt or NMI comes in and switches the context, there's a delay
from when the preempt_count() shows the update. As the preempt_count() is
used to detect recursion having each context have its own bit get set when
tracing starts, and if that bit is already set, it is considered a recursion
and the function exits. But if this happens in that section where context
has changed but preempt_count() has not been updated, this will be
incorrectly flagged as a recursion.

To handle this case, create another bit call TRANSITION and test it if the
current context bit is already set. Flag the call as a recursion if the
TRANSITION bit is already set, and if not, set it and continue. The
TRANSITION bit will be cleared normally on the return of the function that
set it, or if the current context bit is clear, set it and clear the
TRANSITION bit to allow for another transition between the current context
and an even higher one.

commit ee11b93f95eabdf8198edd4668bf9102e7248270 upstream.

The code that checks recursion will work to only do the recursion check once
if there's nested checks. The top one will do the check, the other nested
checks will see recursion was already checked and return zero for its "bit".
On the return side, nothing will be done if the "bit" is zero.

The problem is that zero is returned for the "good" bit when in NMI context.
This will set the bit for NMIs making it look like *all* NMI tracing is
recursing, and prevent tracing of anything in NMI context!

The simple fix is to return "bit + 1" and subtract that bit on the end to
get the real bit.

commit bad8e64fb19d3a0de5e564d9a7271c31bd684369 upstream.

On commit 6ac93117ab00 ("blktrace: use existing disk debugfs directory")
merged on v4.12 Omar fixed the original blktrace code for request-based
drivers (multiqueue). This however left in place a possible crash, if you
happen to abuse blktrace while racing to remove / add a device.

We used to use asynchronous removal of the request_queue, and with that
the issue was easier to reproduce. Now that we have reverted to
synchronous removal of the request_queue, the issue is still possible to
reproduce, its however just a bit more difficult.

We essentially run two instances of break-blktrace which add/remove
a loop device, and setup a blktrace and just never tear the blktrace
down. We do this twice in parallel. This is easily reproduced with the
script run_0004.sh from break-blktrace [0].

We can end up with two types of panics each reflecting where we
race, one a failed blktrace setup:

The common theme here is:

debugfs: Directory 'loop0' with parent 'block' already present

This crash happens because of how blktrace uses the debugfs directory
where it places its files. Upon init we always create the same directory
which would be needed by blktrace but we only do this for make_request
drivers (multiqueue) block drivers. When you race a removal of these
devices with a blktrace setup you end up in a situation where the
make_request recursive debugfs removal will sweep away the blktrace
files and then later blktrace will also try to remove individual
dentries which are already NULL. The inverse is also possible and hence
the two types of use after frees.

We don't create the block debugfs directory on init for these types of
block devices:

  * request-based block driver block devices
  * every possible partition
  * scsi-generic

And so, this race should in theory only be possible with make_request
drivers.

We can fix the UAF by simply re-using the debugfs directory for
make_request drivers (multiqueue) and only creating the ephemeral
directory for the other type of block devices. The new clarifications
on relying on the q-&gt;blk_trace_mutex *and* also checking for q-&gt;blk_trace
*prior* to processing a blktrace ensures the debugfs directories are
only created if no possible directory name clashes are possible.

This goes tested with:

  o nvme partitions
  o ISCSI with tgt, and blktracing against scsi-generic with:
    o block
    o tape
    o cdrom
    o media changer
  o blktests

This patch is part of the work which disputes the severity of
CVE-2019-19770 which shows this issue is not a core debugfs issue, but
a misuse of debugfs within blktace.

commit bad8e64fb19d3a0de5e564d9a7271c31bd684369 upstream.

On commit 6ac93117ab00 ("blktrace: use existing disk debugfs directory")
merged on v4.12 Omar fixed the original blktrace code for request-based
drivers (multiqueue). This however left in place a possible crash, if you
happen to abuse blktrace while racing to remove / add a device.

We used to use asynchronous removal of the request_queue, and with that
the issue was easier to reproduce. Now that we have reverted to
synchronous removal of the request_queue, the issue is still possible to
reproduce, its however just a bit more difficult.

We essentially run two instances of break-blktrace which add/remove
a loop device, and setup a blktrace and just never tear the blktrace
down. We do this twice in parallel. This is easily reproduced with the
script run_0004.sh from break-blktrace [0].

We can end up with two types of panics each reflecting where we
race, one a failed blktrace setup:

commit e1a413245a564683697a3d02ec197b72cf009b89 upstream.

Since @blk_debugfs_root couldn't be configured dynamically, we can
save a few memory allocation if it's not there.

commit 0a1754b2a97efa644aa6e84d1db5b17c42251483 upstream.

We don't need to check the new buffer size, and the return value
had confused resize_buffer_duplicate_size().
...
	ret = ring_buffer_resize(trace_buf-&gt;buffer,
		per_cpu_ptr(size_buf-&gt;data,cpu_id)-&gt;entries, cpu_id);
	if (ret == 0)
		per_cpu_ptr(trace_buf-&gt;data, cpu_id)-&gt;entries =
			per_cpu_ptr(size_buf-&gt;data, cpu_id)-&gt;entries;
...

commit b40341fad6cc2daa195f8090fd3348f18fff640a upstream.

The first thing that the ftrace function callback helper functions should do
is to check for recursion. Peter Zijlstra found that when
"rcu_is_watching()" had its notrace removed, it caused perf function tracing
to crash. This is because the call of rcu_is_watching() is tested before
function recursion is checked and and if it is traced, it will cause an
infinite recursion loop.

rcu_is_watching() should still stay notrace, but to prevent this should
never had crashed in the first place. The recursion prevention must be the
first thing done in callback functions.
