commit 7dc836187f7c6f70a82b4521503e9f9f96194581 upstream.

pid_list_fill_irq() runs via irq_work.
When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is disabled, it would run in irq_context.
so it shouldn't sleep while memory allocation.

Change gfp flags from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_NOWAIT to prevent sleep in
irq_work.

This change wouldn't impact functionality in practice because the worst-size
is 2K.

[ Upstream commit 3572bd5689b0812b161b40279e39ca5b66d73e88 ]

The kprobes and synth event generation test modules add events and lock
(get a reference) those event file reference in module init function,
and unlock and delete it in module exit function. This is because those
are designed for playing as modules.

If we make those modules as built-in, those events are left locked in the
kernel, and never be removed. This causes kprobe event self-test failure
as below.

<title>kprobe/ftrace: bail out if ftrace was killed</title>

[ Upstream commit 1a7d0890dd4a502a202aaec792a6c04e6e049547 ]

If an error happens in ftrace, ftrace_kill() will prevent disarming
kprobes. Eventually, the ftrace_ops associated with the kprobes will be
freed, yet the kprobes will still be active, and when triggered, they
will use the freed memory, likely resulting in a page fault and panic.

This behavior can be reproduced quite easily, by creating a kprobe and
then triggering a ftrace_kill(). For simplicity, we can simulate an
ftrace error with a kernel module like [1]:

[1]: https://github.com/brenns10/kernel_stuff/tree/master/ftrace_killer

  sudo perf probe --add commit_creds
  sudo perf trace -e probe:commit_creds
  # In another terminal
  make
  sudo insmod ftrace_killer.ko  # calls ftrace_kill(), simulating bug
  # Back to perf terminal
  # ctrl-c
  sudo perf probe --del commit_creds

After a short period, a page fault and panic would occur as the kprobe
continues to execute and uses the freed ftrace_ops. While ftrace_kill()
is supposed to be used only in extreme circumstances, it is invoked in
FTRACE_WARN_ON() and so there are many places where an unexpected bug
could be triggered, yet the system may continue operating, possibly
without the administrator noticing. If ftrace_kill() does not panic the
system, then we should do everything we can to continue operating,
rather than leave a ticking time bomb.

[ Upstream commit 1a7d0890dd4a502a202aaec792a6c04e6e049547 ]

If an error happens in ftrace, ftrace_kill() will prevent disarming
kprobes. Eventually, the ftrace_ops associated with the kprobes will be
freed, yet the kprobes will still be active, and when triggered, they
will use the freed memory, likely resulting in a page fault and panic.

This behavior can be reproduced quite easily, by creating a kprobe and
then triggering a ftrace_kill(). For simplicity, we can simulate an
ftrace error with a kernel module like [1]:

[1]: https://github.com/brenns10/kernel_stuff/tree/master/ftrace_killer

  sudo perf probe --add commit_creds
  sudo perf trace -e probe:commit_creds
  # In another terminal
  make
  sudo insmod ftrace_killer.ko  # calls ftrace_kill(), simulating bug
  # Back to perf terminal
  # ctrl-c
  sudo perf probe --del commit_creds

After a short period, a page fault and panic would occur as the kprobe
continues to execute and uses the freed ftrace_ops. While ftrace_kill()
is supposed to be used only in extreme circumstances, it is invoked in
FTRACE_WARN_ON() and so there are many places where an unexpected bug
could be triggered, yet the system may continue operating, possibly
without the administrator noticing. If ftrace_kill() does not panic the
system, then we should do everything we can to continue operating,
rather than leave a ticking time bomb.

<title>bpf: fix multi-uprobe PID filtering logic</title>

[ Upstream commit 46ba0e49b64232adac35a2bc892f1710c5b0fb7f ]

Current implementation of PID filtering logic for multi-uprobes in
uprobe_prog_run() is filtering down to exact *thread*, while the intent
for PID filtering it to filter by *process* instead. The check in
uprobe_prog_run() also differs from the analogous one in
uprobe_multi_link_filter() for some reason. The latter is correct,
checking task-&gt;mm, not the task itself.

Fix the check in uprobe_prog_run() to perform the same task-&gt;mm check.

While doing this, we also update get_pid_task() use to use PIDTYPE_TGID
type of lookup, given the intent is to get a representative task of an
entire process. This doesn't change behavior, but seems more logical. It
would hold task group leader task now, not any random thread task.

Last but not least, given multi-uprobe support is half-broken due to
this PID filtering logic (depending on whether PID filtering is
important or not), we need to make it easy for user space consumers
(including libbpf) to easily detect whether PID filtering logic was
already fixed.

We do it here by adding an early check on passed pid parameter. If it's
negative (and so has no chance of being a valid PID), we return -EINVAL.
Previous behavior would eventually return -ESRCH ("No process found"),
given there can't be any process with negative PID. This subtle change
won't make any practical change in behavior, but will allow applications
to detect PID filtering fixes easily. Libbpf fixes take advantage of
this in the next patch.

<title>eventfs/tracing: Add callback for release of an eventfs_inode</title>

[ Upstream commit b63db58e2fa5d6963db9c45df88e60060f0ff35f ]

Synthetic events create and destroy tracefs files when they are created
and removed. The tracing subsystem has its own file descriptor
representing the state of the events attached to the tracefs files.
There's a race between the eventfs files and this file descriptor of the
tracing system where the following can cause an issue:

With two scripts 'A' and 'B' doing:

  Script 'A':
    echo "hello int aaa" &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
    while :
    do
      echo 0 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/hello/enable
    done

  Script 'B':
    echo &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events

Script 'A' creates a synthetic event "hello" and then just writes zero
into its enable file.

Script 'B' removes all synthetic events (including the newly created
"hello" event).

What happens is that the opening of the "enable" file has:

 {
	struct trace_event_file *file = inode-&gt;i_private;
	int ret;

	ret = tracing_check_open_get_tr(file-&gt;tr);
 [..]

But deleting the events frees the "file" descriptor, and a "use after
free" happens with the dereference at "file-&gt;tr".

The file descriptor does have a reference counter, but there needs to be a
way to decrement it from the eventfs when the eventfs_inode is removed
that represents this file descriptor.

Add an optional "release" callback to the eventfs_entry array structure,
that gets called when the eventfs file is about to be removed. This allows
for the creating on the eventfs file to increment the tracing file
descriptor ref counter. When the eventfs file is deleted, it can call the
release function that will call the put function for the tracing file
descriptor.

This will protect the tracing file from being freed while a eventfs file
that references it is being opened.

[ Upstream commit bd125a084091396f3e796bb3dc009940d9771811 ]

When the ABI was updated to prevent same name w/different args, it
missed an important corner case when fields don't end with a space.
Typically, space is used for fields to help separate them, like
"u8 field1; u8 field2". If no spaces are used, like
"u8 field1;u8 field2", then the parsing works for the first time.
However, the match check fails on a subsequent register, leading to
confusion.

This is because the match check uses argv_split() and assumes that all
fields will be split upon the space. When spaces are used, we get back
{ "u8", "field1;" }, without spaces we get back { "u8", "field1;u8" }.
This causes a mismatch, and the user program gets back -EADDRINUSE.

Add a method to detect this case before calling argv_split(). If found
force a space after the field separator character ';'. This ensures all
cases work properly for matching.

With this fix, the following are all treated as matching:
u8 field1;u8 field2
u8 field1; u8 field2
u8 field1;\tu8 field2
u8 field1;\nu8 field2
