[ Upstream commit 196a062641fe68d9bfe0ad36b6cd7628c99ad22c ]

Binary printing functions are using printf() type of format, and compiler
is not happy about them as is:

kernel/trace/trace.c:3292:9: error: function ‘trace_vbprintk’ might be a candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Werror=suggest-attribute=format]
kernel/trace/trace_seq.c:182:9: error: function ‘trace_seq_bprintf’ might be a candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Werror=suggest-attribute=format]

Fix the compilation errors by adding __printf() attribute.

While at it, move existing __printf() attributes from the implementations
to the declarations. IT also fixes incorrect attribute parameters that are
used for trace_array_printk().

commit 11aff32439df6ca5b3b891b43032faf88f4a6a29 upstream.

The preemption count of the stacktrace filter command to trace ksys_read
is consistently incorrect:

$ echo ksys_read:stacktrace &gt; set_ftrace_filter

   &lt;...&gt;-453     [004] ...1.    38.308956: &lt;stack trace&gt;
=&gt; ksys_read
=&gt; do_syscall_64
=&gt; entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

The root cause is that the trace framework disables preemption when
invoking the filter command callback in function_trace_probe_call:

   preempt_disable_notrace();
   probe_ops-&gt;func(ip, parent_ip, probe_opsbe-&gt;tr, probe_ops, probe-&gt;data);
   preempt_enable_notrace();

Use tracing_gen_ctx_dec() to account for the preempt_disable_notrace(),
which will output the correct preemption count:

$ echo ksys_read:stacktrace &gt; set_ftrace_filter

   &lt;...&gt;-410     [006] .....    31.420396: &lt;stack trace&gt;
=&gt; ksys_read
=&gt; do_syscall_64

<title>ftrace: Fix preemption accounting for stacktrace trigger command</title>

commit e333332657f615ac2b55aa35565c4a882018bbe9 upstream.

When using the stacktrace trigger command to trace syscalls, the
preemption count was consistently reported as 1 when the system call
event itself had 0 (".").

For example:

root@ubuntu22-vm:/sys/kernel/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read
$ echo stacktrace &gt; trigger
$ echo 1 &gt; enable

    sshd-416     [002] .....   232.864910: sys_read(fd: a, buf: 556b1f3221d0, count: 8000)
    sshd-416     [002] ...1.   232.864913: &lt;stack trace&gt;
 =&gt; ftrace_syscall_enter
 =&gt; syscall_trace_enter
 =&gt; do_syscall_64
 =&gt; entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

The root cause is that the trace framework disables preemption in __DO_TRACE before
invoking the trigger callback.

Use the tracing_gen_ctx_dec() that will accommodate for the increase of
the preemption count in __DO_TRACE when calling the callback. The result
is the accurate reporting of:

    sshd-410     [004] .....   210.117660: sys_read(fd: 4, buf: 559b725ba130, count: 40000)
    sshd-410     [004] .....   210.117662: &lt;stack trace&gt;
 =&gt; ftrace_syscall_enter
 =&gt; syscall_trace_enter
 =&gt; do_syscall_64
 =&gt; entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

[ Upstream commit fd837de3c9cb1a162c69bc1fb1f438467fe7f2f5 ]

Since the shared trace_probe_log variable can be accessed and
modified via probe event create operation of kprobe_events,
uprobe_events, and dynamic_events, it should be protected.
In the dynamic_events, all operations are serialized by
`dyn_event_ops_mutex`. But kprobe_events and uprobe_events
interfaces are not serialized.

To solve this issue, introduces dyn_event_create(), which runs
create() operation under the mutex, for kprobe_events and
uprobe_events. This also uses lockdep to check the mutex is
held when using trace_probe_log* APIs.

commit a8c5b0ed89a3f2c81c6ae0b041394e6eea0e7024 upstream.

The filter string testing uses strncpy_from_kernel/user_nofault() to
retrieve the string to test the filter against. The if() statement was
incorrect as it considered 0 as a fault, when it is only negative that it
faulted.

Running the following commands:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
  # echo "filename.ustring ~ \"/proc*\"" &gt; events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
  # echo 1 &gt; events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/enable
  # ls /proc/$$/maps
  # cat trace

Would produce nothing, but with the fix it will produce something like:

      ls-1192    [007] .....  8169.828333: sys_openat(dfd: ffffffffffffff9c, filename: 7efc18359904, flags: 80000, mode: 0)

commit a8c5b0ed89a3f2c81c6ae0b041394e6eea0e7024 upstream.

The filter string testing uses strncpy_from_kernel/user_nofault() to
retrieve the string to test the filter against. The if() statement was
incorrect as it considered 0 as a fault, when it is only negative that it
faulted.

Running the following commands:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
  # echo "filename.ustring ~ \"/proc*\"" &gt; events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
  # echo 1 &gt; events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/enable
  # ls /proc/$$/maps
  # cat trace

Would produce nothing, but with the fix it will produce something like:

      ls-1192    [007] .....  8169.828333: sys_openat(dfd: ffffffffffffff9c, filename: 7efc18359904, flags: 80000, mode: 0)

<title>ftrace: Add cond_resched() to ftrace_graph_set_hash()</title>

commit 42ea22e754ba4f2b86f8760ca27f6f71da2d982c upstream.

When the kernel contains a large number of functions that can be traced,
the loop in ftrace_graph_set_hash() may take a lot of time to execute.
This may trigger the softlockup watchdog.

Add cond_resched() within the loop to allow the kernel to remain
responsive even when processing a large number of functions.

This matches the cond_resched() that is used in other locations of the
code that iterates over all functions that can be traced.

<title>tracing: fix return value in __ftrace_event_enable_disable for TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER</title>

[ Upstream commit 0c588ac0ca6c22b774d9ad4a6594681fdfa57d9d ]

When __ftrace_event_enable_disable invokes the class callback to
unregister the event, the return value is not reported up to the
caller, hence leading to event unregister failures being silently
ignored.

This patch assigns the ret variable to the invocation of the
event unregister callback, so that its return value is stored
and reported to the caller, and it raises a warning in case
of error.

commit 8eb1518642738c6892bd629b46043513a3bf1a6a upstream.

An update was made to up the module ref count when a synthetic event is
registered for both trace and perf events. But if perf is not configured
in, the perf enums used will cause the kernel to fail to build.

<title>tracing/osnoise: Fix possible recursive locking for cpus_read_lock()</title>

commit 7e6b3fcc9c5294aeafed0dbe1a09a1bc899bd0f2 upstream.

Lockdep reports this deadlock log:

osnoise: could not start sampling thread
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
--------------------------------------------
       CPU0
       ----
  lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
  lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);

  ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20
  &lt;/TASK&gt;

This is the deadlock scenario:
osnoise_hotplug_workfn()
  guard(cpus_read_lock)();      // first lock call
  start_kthread(cpu)
    if (IS_ERR(kthread)) {
      stop_per_cpu_kthreads(); {
        cpus_read_lock();      // second lock call. Cause the AA deadlock
      }
    }

It is not necessary to call stop_per_cpu_kthreads() which stops osnoise
kthread for every other CPUs in the system if a failure occurs during
hotplug of a certain CPU.
For start_per_cpu_kthreads(), if the start_kthread() call fails,
this function calls stop_per_cpu_kthreads() to handle the error.
Therefore, similarly, there is no need to call stop_per_cpu_kthreads()
again within start_kthread().
So just remove stop_per_cpu_kthreads() from start_kthread to solve this issue.
