commit 5264a2f4bb3baf712e19f1f053caaa8d7d3afa2e upstream.

The eventfs_create_dir() function returns error pointers, it never returns
NULL.  Update the check to reflect that.

commit 5ddd8baa4857709b4e5d84b376d735152851955b upstream.

The system_callback() function in trace_events.c is only used within that
file. The "static" annotation was missed.

commit 2819f23ac12ce93ff79ca7a54597df9a4a1f6331 upstream.

The update to removing the eventfs_file changed the way the events top
level directory was handled. Instead of returning a dentry, it now returns
the eventfs_inode. In this changed, the removing of the events top level
directory is not much different than removing any of the other
directories. Because of this, the removal just called eventfs_remove_dir()
instead of eventfs_remove_events_dir().

Although eventfs_remove_dir() does the clean up, it misses out on the
dget() of the ei-&gt;dentry done in eventfs_create_events_dir(). It makes
more sense to match eventfs_create_events_dir() with a specific function
eventfs_remove_events_dir() and this specific function can then perform
the dput() to the dentry that had the dget() when it was created.

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-&gt;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-&gt;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 &lt;&lt; (order + PAGE_SHIFT);
	page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, order);
	if (!page)
		return NULL;

	s = page_address(page);
	memset(s, 0, sizeof(*s));

	s-&gt;saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL);

Where that s-&gt;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:

unreferenced object 0xffff8881010c8000 (size 32760):

commit bdbddb109c75365d22ec4826f480c5e75869e1cb upstream.

Commit a8b9cf62ade1 ("ftrace: Fix DIRECT_CALLS to use SAVE_REGS by
default") attempted to fix an issue with direct trampolines on x86, see
its description for details. However, it wrongly referenced the
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS config option and the problem is still
present.

Add the missing "CONFIG_" prefix for the logic to work as intended.

commit a8b9cf62ade1bf17261a979fc97e40c2d7842353 upstream.

The commit 60c8971899f3 ("ftrace: Make DIRECT_CALLS work WITH_ARGS
and !WITH_REGS") changed DIRECT_CALLS to use SAVE_ARGS when there
are multiple ftrace_ops at the same function, but since the x86 only
support to jump to direct_call from ftrace_regs_caller, when we set
the function tracer on the same target function on x86, ftrace-direct
does not work as below (this actually works on arm64.)

At first, insmod ftrace-direct.ko to put a direct_call on
'wake_up_process()'.

 # insmod kernel/samples/ftrace/ftrace-direct.ko
 # less trace
...
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.   564.686958: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [007] ..s1.   564.687836: my_direct_func: waking up kcompactd0-63
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.   564.690926: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.   564.696872: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [007] ..s1.   565.191982: my_direct_func: waking up kcompactd0-63

Setup a function filter to the 'wake_up_process' too, and enable it.

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
 # echo wake_up_process &gt; set_ftrace_filter
 # echo function &gt; current_tracer
 # less trace
...
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s3.   686.180972: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s3.   686.186919: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] ..s3.   686.264049: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] d.h6.   686.515216: wake_up_process &lt;-kick_pool
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] d.h6.   686.691386: wake_up_process &lt;-kick_pool

Then, only function tracer is shown on x86.
But if you enable 'kprobe on ftrace' event (which uses SAVE_REGS flag)
on the same function, it is shown again.

 # echo 'p wake_up_process' &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # echo 1 &gt; events/kprobes/p_wake_up_process_0/enable
 # echo &gt; trace
 # less trace
...
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s2.  2710.345919: p_wake_up_process_0: (wake_up_process+0x4/0x20)
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s3.  2710.345923: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.  2710.345928: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s2.  2710.349931: p_wake_up_process_0: (wake_up_process+0x4/0x20)
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s3.  2710.349934: wake_up_process &lt;-call_timer_fn
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [006] ..s1.  2710.349937: my_direct_func: waking up rcu_preempt-17

To fix this issue, use SAVE_REGS flag for multiple ftrace_ops flag of
direct_call by default.

<title>ring-buffer: Clean ring_buffer_poll_wait() error return</title>

commit 66bbea9ed6446b8471d365a22734dc00556c4785 upstream.

The return type for ring_buffer_poll_wait() is __poll_t. This is behind
the scenes an unsigned where we can set event bits. In case of a
non-allocated CPU, we do return instead -EINVAL (0xffffffea). Lucky us,
this ends up setting few error bits (EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP | EPOLLNVAL), so
user-space at least is aware something went wrong.

Nonetheless, this is an incorrect code. Replace that -EINVAL with a
proper EPOLLERR to clean that output. As this doesn't change the
behaviour, there's no need to treat this change as a bug fix.

commit 9704669c386f9bbfef2e002e7e690c56b7dcf5de upstream.

Fix to search a field from the structure which has anonymous union
correctly.
Since the reference `type` pointer was updated in the loop, the search
loop suddenly aborted where it hits an anonymous union. Thus it can not
find the field after the anonymous union. This avoids updating the
cursor `type` pointer in the loop.

commit 9a571c1e275cedacd48c66a6bddd0c23f1dffdbf upstream.

Since the BTF type setting updates probe_arg::type, the type size
calculation and setting print-fmt should be done after that.
Without this fix, the argument size and print-fmt can be wrong.
