commit aafe104aa9096827a429bc1358f8260ee565b7cc upstream.

It was reported that a fix to the ring buffer recursion detection would
cause a hung machine when performing suspend / resume testing. The
following backtrace was extracted from debugging that case:

Call Trace:

 ? dpm_run_callback+0x49/0xc0

With the following RIP:

RIP: 0010:native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x69/0x200

Since the fix to the recursion detection would allow a single recursion to
happen while tracing, this lead to the trace_clock_global() taking a spin
lock and then trying to take it again:

ring_buffer_lock_reserve() {
  trace_clock_global() {
    arch_spin_lock() {
      queued_spin_lock_slowpath() {
        /* lock taken */
        (something else gets traced by function graph tracer)
          ring_buffer_lock_reserve() {
            trace_clock_global() {
              arch_spin_lock() {
                queued_spin_lock_slowpath() {
                /* DEAD LOCK! */

Tracing should *never* block, as it can lead to strange lockups like the
above.

Restructure the trace_clock_global() code to instead of simply taking a
lock to update the recorded "prev_time" simply use it, as two events
happening on two different CPUs that calls this at the same time, really
doesn't matter which one goes first. Use a trylock to grab the lock for
updating the prev_time, and if it fails, simply try again the next time.
If it failed to be taken, that means something else is already updating
it.

<title>tracing: Map all PIDs to command lines</title>

commit 785e3c0a3a870e72dc530856136ab4c8dd207128 upstream.

The default max PID is set by PID_MAX_DEFAULT, and the tracing
infrastructure uses this number to map PIDs to the comm names of the
tasks, such output of the trace can show names from the recorded PIDs in
the ring buffer. This mapping is also exported to user space via the
"saved_cmdlines" file in the tracefs directory.

But currently the mapping expects the PIDs to be less than
PID_MAX_DEFAULT, which is the default maximum and not the real maximum.
Recently, systemd will increases the maximum value of a PID on the system,
and when tasks are traced that have a PID higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT, its
comm is not recorded. This leads to the entire trace to have "&lt;...&gt;" as
the comm name, which is pretty useless.

Instead, keep the array mapping the size of PID_MAX_DEFAULT, but instead
of just mapping the index to the comm, map a mask of the PID
(PID_MAX_DEFAULT - 1) to the comm, and find the full PID from the
map_cmdline_to_pid array (that already exists).

This bug goes back to the beginning of ftrace, but hasn't been an issue
until user space started increasing the maximum value of PIDs.

<title>ftrace: Handle commands when closing set_ftrace_filter file</title>

commit 8c9af478c06bb1ab1422f90d8ecbc53defd44bc3 upstream.

 # echo switch_mm:traceoff &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

will cause switch_mm to stop tracing by the traceoff command.

 # echo -n switch_mm:traceoff &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

does nothing.

The reason is that the parsing in the write function only processes
commands if it finished parsing (there is white space written after the
command). That's to handle:

 write(fd, "switch_mm:", 10);
 write(fd, "traceoff", 8);

cases, where the command is broken over multiple writes.

The problem is if the file descriptor is closed, then the write call is
not processed, and the command needs to be processed in the release code.
The release code can handle matching of functions, but does not handle
commands.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Fix tp_printk command line and trace events

  Masami added a wrapper to be able to unhash trace event pointers as
  they are only read by root anyway, and they can also be extracted by
  the raw trace data buffers. But this wrapper utilized the iterator to
  have a temporary buffer to manipulate the text with.

  tp_printk is a kernel command line option that will send the trace
  output of a trace event to the console on boot up (useful when the
  system crashes before finishing the boot). But the code used the same
  wrapper that Masami added, and its iterator did not have a buffer, and
  this caused the system to crash.

  Have the wrapper just print the trace event normally if the iterator
  has no temporary buffer"

Pointers in events that are printed are unhashed if the flags allow it,
and the logic to do so is called before processing the event output from
the raw ring buffer. In most cases, this is done when a user reads one of
the trace files.

But if tp_printk is added on the kernel command line, this logic is done
for trace events when they are triggered, and their output goes out via
printk. The unhash logic (and even the validation of the output) did not
support the tp_printk output, and would crash.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Fix stack trace entry size to stop showing garbage

  The macro that creates both the structure and the format displayed to
  user space for the stack trace event was changed a while ago to fix
  the parsing by user space tooling. But this change also modified the
  structure used to store the stack trace event. It changed the caller
  array field from [0] to [8].

  Even though the size in the ring buffer is dynamic and can be
  something other than 8 (user space knows how to handle this), the 8
  extra words was not accounted for when reserving the event on the ring
  buffer, and added 8 more entries, due to the calculation of
  "sizeof(*entry) + nr_entries * sizeof(long)", as the sizeof(*entry)
  now contains 8 entries.

  The size of the caller field needs to be subtracted from the size of
  the entry to create the correct allocation size"

Commit cbc3b92ce037 fixed an issue to modify the macros of the stack trace
event so that user space could parse it properly. Originally the stack
trace format to user space showed that the called stack was a dynamic
array. But it is not actually a dynamic array, in the way that other
dynamic event arrays worked, and this broke user space parsing for it. The
update was to make the array look to have 8 entries in it. Helper
functions were added to make it parse it correctly, as the stack was
dynamic, but was determined by the size of the event stored.

Although this fixed user space on how it read the event, it changed the
internal structure used for the stack trace event. It changed the array
size from [0] to [8] (added 8 entries). This increased the size of the
stack trace event by 8 words. The size reserved on the ring buffer was the
size of the stack trace event plus the number of stack entries found in
the stack trace. That commit caused the amount to be 8 more than what was
needed because it did not expect the caller field to have any size. This
produced 8 entries of garbage (and reading random data) from the stack
trace event:

          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] d... 1976396.837549: &lt;stack trace&gt;
 =&gt; trace_event_raw_event_sched_switch
 =&gt; __traceiter_sched_switch
 =&gt; __schedule
 =&gt; schedule_idle
 =&gt; do_idle
 =&gt; cpu_startup_entry
 =&gt; secondary_startup_64_no_verify
 =&gt; 0xc8c5e150ffff93de
 =&gt; 0xffff93de
 =&gt; 0
 =&gt; 0
 =&gt; 0xc8c5e17800000000
 =&gt; 0x1f30affff93de
 =&gt; 0x00000004
 =&gt; 0x200000000

Instead, subtract the size of the caller field from the size of the event
to make sure that only the amount needed to store the stack trace is
reserved.

Pull ftrace fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Add check of order &lt; 0 before calling free_pages()

  The function addresses that are traced by ftrace are stored in pages,
  and the size is held in a variable. If there's some error in creating
  them, the allocate ones will be freed. In this case, it is possible
  that the order of pages to be freed may end up being negative due to a
  size of zero passed to get_count_order(), and then that negative
  number will cause free_pages() to free a very large section.

  Make sure that does not happen"
