commit ac965d7d88fc36fb42e3d50225c0a44dd8326da4 upstream.

Fix a memory leak when a tprobe is defined with $retval. This
combination is not allowed, but the parse_symbol_and_return() does
not free the *symbol which should not be used if it returns the error.
Thus, it leaks the *symbol memory in that error path.

commit a1a7eb89ca0b89dc1c326eeee2596f263291aca3 upstream.

Check whether denominator expression x * (x - 1) * 1000 mod {2^32, 2^64}
produce zero and skip stddev computation in that case.

For now don't care about rec-&gt;counter * rec-&gt;counter overflow because
rec-&gt;time * rec-&gt;time overflow will likely happen earlier.

<title>tracing: Fix bad hist from corrupting named_triggers list</title>

<id>43b254d46c740bf9dbe65709afa021dd726dfa99</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 6f86bdeab633a56d5c6dccf1a2c5989b6a5e323e upstream.

The following commands causes a crash:

 ~# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/events/rcu/rcu_callback
 ~# echo 'hist:name=bad:keys=common_pid:onmax(bogus).save(common_pid)' &gt; trigger
 bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
 ~# echo 'hist:name=bad:keys=common_pid' &gt; trigger

Because the following occurs:

event_trigger_write() {
  trigger_process_regex() {
    event_hist_trigger_parse() {

      data = event_trigger_alloc(..);

      event_trigger_register(.., data) {
        cmd_ops-&gt;reg(.., data, ..) [hist_register_trigger()] {
          data-&gt;ops-&gt;init() [event_hist_trigger_init()] {
            save_named_trigger(name, data) {
              list_add(&amp;data-&gt;named_list, &amp;named_triggers);
            }
          }
        }
      }

      ret = create_actions(); (return -EINVAL)
      if (ret)
        goto out_unreg;
[..]
      ret = hist_trigger_enable(data, ...) {
        list_add_tail_rcu(&amp;data-&gt;list, &amp;file-&gt;triggers); &lt;&lt;&lt;---- SKIPPED!!! (this is important!)
[..]
 out_unreg:
      event_hist_unregister(.., data) {
        cmd_ops-&gt;unreg(.., data, ..) [hist_unregister_trigger()] {
          list_for_each_entry(iter, &amp;file-&gt;triggers, list) {
            if (!hist_trigger_match(data, iter, named_data, false))   &lt;- never matches
                continue;
            [..]
            test = iter;
          }
          if (test &amp;&amp; test-&gt;ops-&gt;free) &lt;&lt;&lt;-- test is NULL

            test-&gt;ops-&gt;free(test) [event_hist_trigger_free()] {
              [..]
              if (data-&gt;name)
                del_named_trigger(data) {
                  list_del(&amp;data-&gt;named_list);  &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;-- NEVER gets removed!
                }
              }
           }
         }

         [..]
         kfree(data); &lt;&lt;&lt;-- frees item but it is still on list

The next time a hist with name is registered, it causes an u-a-f bug and
the kernel can crash.

Move the code around such that if event_trigger_register() succeeds, the
next thing called is hist_trigger_enable() which adds it to the list.

A bunch of actions is called if get_named_trigger_data() returns false.
But that doesn't need to be called after event_trigger_register(), so it
can be moved up, allowing event_trigger_register() to be called just
before hist_trigger_enable() keeping them together and allowing the
file-&gt;triggers to be properly populated.

commit 8eb4b09e0bbd30981305643229fe7640ad41b667 upstream.

Check if a function is already in the manager ops of a subops. A manager
ops contains multiple subops, and if two or more subops are tracing the
same function, the manager ops only needs a single entry in its hash.

commit 57b76bedc5c52c66968183b5ef57234894c25ce7 upstream.

The function tracer should record the preemption level at the point when
the function is invoked. If the tracing subsystem decrement the
preemption counter it needs to correct this before feeding the data into
the trace buffer. This was broken in the commit cited below while
shifting the preempt-disabled section.

Use tracing_gen_ctx_dec() which properly subtracts one from the
preemption counter on a preemptible kernel.

commit e3ff4245928f948f3eb2e852aa350b870421c358 upstream.

If a timerlat tracer is started with the osnoise option OSNOISE_WORKLOAD
disabled, but then that option is enabled and timerlat is removed, the
tracepoints that were enabled on timerlat registration do not get
disabled. If the option is disabled again and timelat is started, then it
triggers a warning in the tracepoint code due to registering the
tracepoint again without ever disabling it.

Do not use the same user space defined options to know to disable the
tracepoints when timerlat is removed. Instead, set a global flag when it
is enabled and use that flag to know to disable the events.

[ Upstream commit 87c544108b612512b254c8f79aa5c0a8546e2cc4 ]

BPF programs can execute in all kinds of contexts and when a program
running in a non-preemptible context uses the bpf_send_signal() kfunc,
it will cause issues because this kfunc can sleep.
Change `irqs_disabled()` to `!preemptible()`.

[ Upstream commit b9c44b91476b67327a521568a854babecc4070ab ]

Currently, space for raw sample data is always allocated within sample
records for both BPF output and tracepoint events. This leads to unused
space in sample records when raw sample data is not requested.

This patch enforces checking sample type of an event in
perf_sample_save_raw_data(). So raw sample data will only be saved if
explicitly requested, reducing overhead when it is not needed.

<title>tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk format</title>

<id>f452f397f9a6a605989e4151078ab76b41d490cc</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit afd2627f727b89496d79a6b934a025fc916d4ded ]

The TP_printk() portion of a trace event is executed at the time a event
is read from the trace. This can happen seconds, minutes, hours, days,
months, years possibly later since the event was recorded. If the print
format contains a dereference to a string via "%s", and that string was
allocated, there's a chance that string could be freed before it is read
by the trace file.

To protect against such bugs, there are two functions that verify the
event. The first one is test_event_printk(), which is called when the
event is created. It reads the TP_printk() format as well as its arguments
to make sure nothing may be dereferencing a pointer that was not copied
into the ring buffer along with the event. If it is, it will trigger a
WARN_ON().

For strings that use "%s", it is not so easy. The string may not reside in
the ring buffer but may still be valid. Strings that are static and part
of the kernel proper which will not be freed for the life of the running
system, are safe to dereference. But to know if it is a pointer to a
static string or to something on the heap can not be determined until the
event is triggered.

This brings us to the second function that tests for the bad dereferencing
of strings, trace_check_vprintf(). It would walk through the printf format
looking for "%s", and when it finds it, it would validate that the pointer
is safe to read. If not, it would produces a WARN_ON() as well and write
into the ring buffer "[UNSAFE-MEMORY]".

The problem with this is how it used va_list to have vsnprintf() handle
all the cases that it didn't need to check. Instead of re-implementing
vsnprintf(), it would make a copy of the format up to the %s part, and
call vsnprintf() with the current va_list ap variable, where the ap would
then be ready to point at the string in question.

For architectures that passed va_list by reference this was possible. For
architectures that passed it by copy it was not. A test_can_verify()
function was used to differentiate between the two, and if it wasn't
possible, it would disable it.

Even for architectures where this was feasible, it was a stretch to rely
on such a method that is undocumented, and could cause issues later on
with new optimizations of the compiler.

Instead, the first function test_event_printk() was updated to look at
"%s" as well. If the "%s" argument is a pointer outside the event in the
ring buffer, it would find the field type of the event that is the problem
and mark the structure with a new flag called "needs_test". The event
itself will be marked by TRACE_EVENT_FL_TEST_STR to let it be known that
this event has a field that needs to be verified before the event can be
printed using the printf format.

When the event fields are created from the field type structure, the
fields would copy the field type's "needs_test" value.

Finally, before being printed, a new function ignore_event() is called
which will check if the event has the TEST_STR flag set (if not, it
returns false). If the flag is set, it then iterates through the events
fields looking for the ones that have the "needs_test" flag set.

Then it uses the offset field from the field structure to find the pointer
in the ring buffer event. It runs the tests to make sure that pointer is
safe to print and if not, it triggers the WARN_ON() and also adds to the
trace output that the event in question has an unsafe memory access.

The ignore_event() makes the trace_check_vprintf() obsolete so it is
removed.

This brings us to the second function that tests for the bad dereferencing
of strings, trace_check_vprintf(). It would walk through the printf format
looking for "%s", and when it finds it, it would validate that the pointer
is safe to read. If not, it would produces a WARN_ON() as well and write
into the ring buffer "[UNSAFE-MEMORY]".

The problem with this is how it used va_list to have vsnprintf() handle
all the cases that it didn't need to check. Instead of re-implementing
vsnprintf(), it would make a copy of the format up to the %s part, and
call vsnprintf() with the current va_list ap variable, where the ap would
then be ready to point at the string in question.

For architectures that passed va_list by reference this was possible. For
architectures that passed it by copy it was not. A test_can_verify()
function was used to differentiate between the two, and if it wasn't
possible, it would disable it.

Even for architectures where this was feasible, it was a stretch to rely
on such a method that is undocumented, and could cause issues later on
with new optimizations of the compiler.

Instead, the first function test_event_printk() was updated to look at
"%s" as well. If the "%s" argument is a pointer outside the event in the
ring buffer, it would find the field type of the event that is the problem
and mark the structure with a new flag called "needs_test". The event
itself will be marked by TRACE_EVENT_FL_TEST_STR to let it be known that
this event has a field that needs to be verified before the event can be
printed using the printf format.

When the event fields are created from the field type structure, the
fields would copy the field type's "needs_test" value.

Finally, before being printed, a new function ignore_event() is called
which will check if the event has the TEST_STR flag set (if not, it
returns false). If the flag is set, it then iterates through the events
fields looking for the ones that have the "needs_test" flag set.

Then it uses the offset field from the field structure to find the pointer
in the ring buffer event. It runs the tests to make sure that pointer is
safe to print and if not, it triggers the WARN_ON() and also adds to the
trace output that the event in question has an unsafe memory access.

The ignore_event() makes the trace_check_vprintf() obsolete so it is
removed.
