git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Make buffer_percent read/write. The buffer_percent file is how users can state how long to block on the tracing buffer depending on how much is in the buffer. When it hits the "buffer_percent" it will wake the task waiting on the buffer. For some reason it was set to read-only. This was not noticed because testing was done as root without SELinux, but with SELinux it will prevent even root to write to it without having CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE. - The "touched_functions" was added this merge window, but one of the reasons for adding it was not implemented. That was to show what functions were not only touched, but had either a direct trampoline attached to it, or a kprobe or live kernel patching that can "hijack" the function to run a different function. The point is to know if there's functions in the kernel that may not be behaving as the kernel code shows. This can be used for debugging. TODO: Add this information to kernel oops too. * tag 'trace-v6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ftrace: Add MODIFIED flag to show if IPMODIFY or direct was attached tracing: Fix permissions for the buffer_percent file
2023-05-05ftrace: Add MODIFIED flag to show if IPMODIFY or direct was attachedSteven Rostedt (Google)1-0/+25
If a function had ever had IPMODIFY or DIRECT attached to it, where this is how live kernel patching and BPF overrides work, mark them and display an "M" in the enabled_functions and touched_functions files. This can be used for debugging. If a function had been modified and later there's a bug in the code related to that function, this can be used to know if the cause is possibly from a live kernel patch or a BPF program that changed the behavior of the code. Also update the documentation on the enabled_functions and touched_functions output, as it was missing direct callers and CALL_OPS. And include this new modify attribute.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - User events are finally ready! After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally locked down on a stable interface for user events that can also work with user space only tracing. This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user space library, but that part is user space only and not part of this patch set), where the variable is that the application uses to know if something is listening to the trace. There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events, which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/ directory, where it can be enabled. When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the application to start writing to the kernel. See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/ - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of direct trampolines. Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their own trampoline for performance reasons. - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes will be exposed as dynamic events. - More updates to references to the obsolete path of /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path. - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer line by line instead of all at once. There are users in production kernels that have a large data dump that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger than what printk() allowed as a single print. Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that. - Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions that was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used for debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a crash by a bpf program or live patching. - Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields of the events. It's easier to read by humans. - Some minor fixes and clean ups. * tag 'trace-v6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (41 commits) ring-buffer: Sync IRQ works before buffer destruction tracing: Add missing spaces in trace_print_hex_seq() ring-buffer: Ensure proper resetting of atomic variables in ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus recordmcount: Fix memory leaks in the uwrite function tracing/user_events: Limit max fault-in attempts tracing/user_events: Prevent same address and bit per process tracing/user_events: Ensure bit is cleared on unregister tracing/user_events: Ensure write index cannot be negative seq_buf: Add seq_buf_do_printk() helper tracing: Fix print_fields() for __dyn_loc/__rel_loc tracing/user_events: Set event filter_type from type ring-buffer: Clearly check null ptr returned by rb_set_head_page() tracing: Unbreak user events tracing/user_events: Use print_format_fields() for trace output tracing/user_events: Align structs with tabs for readability tracing/user_events: Limit global user_event count tracing/user_events: Charge event allocs to cgroups tracing/user_events: Update documentation for ABI tracing/user_events: Use write ABI in example tracing/user_events: Add ABI self-test ...

2023-03-29tracing: Add "fields" option to show raw trace event fieldsSteven Rostedt (Google)1-0/+6

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

2023-01-25tracing: Add a way to filter function addresses to function namesSteven Rostedt (Google)1-0/+12
There's been several times where an event records a function address in its field and I needed to filter on that address for a specific function name. It required looking up the function in kallsyms, finding its size, and doing a compare of "field >= function_start && field < function_end". But this would change from boot to boot and is unreliable in scripts. Also, it is useful to have this at boot up, where the addresses will not be known. For example, on the boot command line: trace_trigger="initcall_finish.traceoff if func.function == acpi_init" To implement this, add a ".function" prefix, that will check that the field is of size long, and the only operations allowed (so far) are "==" and "!=".

2022-12-15tracing/probes: Add symstr type for dynamic eventsMasami Hiramatsu (Google)1-2/+6
Add 'symstr' type for storing the kernel symbol as a string data instead of the symbol address. This allows us to filter the events by wildcard symbol name. e.g. # echo 'e:wqfunc workqueue.workqueue_execute_start symname=$function:symstr' >> dynamic_events # cat events/eprobes/wqfunc/format name: wqfunc ID: 2110 format: field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0; field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1; field:__data_loc char[] symname; offset:8; size:4; signed:1; print fmt: " symname=\"%s\"", __get_str(symname) Note that there is already 'symbol' type which just change the print format (so it still stores the symbol address in the tracing ring buffer.) On the other hand, 'symstr' type stores the actual "symbol+offset/size" data as a string.

2022-12-15kprobes: kretprobe events missing on 2-core KVM guestwuqiang1-2/+1
Default value of maxactive is set as num_possible_cpus() for nonpreemptable systems. For a 2-core system, only 2 kretprobe instances would be allocated in default, then these 2 instances for execve kretprobe are very likely to be used up with a pipelined command. Here's the testcase: a shell script was added to crontab, and the content of the script is: #!/bin/sh do_something_magic `tr -dc a-z < /dev/urandom | head -c 10` cron will trigger a series of program executions (4 times every hour). Then events loss would be noticed normally after 3-4 hours of testings. The issue is caused by a burst of series of execve requests. The best number of kretprobe instances could be different case by case, and should be user's duty to determine, but num_possible_cpus() as the default value is inadequate especially for systems with small number of cpus. This patch enables the logic for preemption as default, thus increases the minimum of maxactive to 10 for nonpreemptable systems.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping Pull setgid inheritance updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the work to make setgid inheritance consistent between modifying a file and when changing ownership or mode as this has been a repeated source of very subtle bugs. The gist is that we perform the same permission checks in the write path as we do in the ownership and mode changing paths after this series where we're currently doing different things. We've already made setgid inheritance a lot more consistent and reliable in the last releases by moving setgid stripping from the individual filesystems up into the vfs. This aims to make the logic even more consistent and easier to understand and also to fix long-standing overlayfs setgid inheritance bugs. Miklos was nice enough to just let me carry the trivial overlayfs patches from Amir too. Below is a more detailed explanation how the current difference in setgid handling lead to very subtle bugs exemplified via overlayfs which is a victim of the current rules. I hope this explains why I think taking the regression risk here is worth it. A long while ago I found a few setgid inheritance bugs in overlayfs in the write path in certain conditions. Amir recently picked this back up in [1] and I jumped on board to fix this more generally. On the surface all that overlayfs would need to fix setgid inheritance would be to call file_remove_privs() or file_modified() but actually that isn't enough because the setgid inheritance api is wildly inconsistent in that area. Before this pr setgid stripping in file_remove_privs()'s old should_remove_suid() helper was inconsistent with other parts of the vfs. Specifically, it only raises ATTR_KILL_SGID if the inode is S_ISGID and S_IXGRP but not if the inode isn't in the caller's groups and the caller isn't privileged over the inode although we require this already in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and so all filesystem implement this requirement implicitly because they have to use setattr_{prepare,copy}() anyway. But the inconsistency shows up in setgid stripping bugs for overlayfs in xfstests (e.g., generic/673, generic/683, generic/685, generic/686, generic/687). For example, we test whether suid and setgid stripping works correctly when performing various write-like operations as an unprivileged user (fallocate, reflink, write, etc.): echo "Test 1 - qa_user, non-exec file $verb" setup_testfile chmod a+rws $junk_file commit_and_check "$qa_user" "$verb" 64k 64k The test basically creates a file with 6666 permissions. While the file has the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits set it does not have the S_IXGRP set. On a regular filesystem like xfs what will happen is: sys_fallocate() -> vfs_fallocate() -> xfs_file_fallocate() -> file_modified() -> __file_remove_privs() -> dentry_needs_remove_privs() -> should_remove_suid() -> __remove_privs() newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill; -> notify_change() -> setattr_copy() In should_remove_suid() we can see that ATTR_KILL_SUID is raised unconditionally because the file in the test has S_ISUID set. But we also see that ATTR_KILL_SGID won't be set because while the file is S_ISGID it is not S_IXGRP (see above) which is a condition for ATTR_KILL_SGID being raised. So by the time we call notify_change() we have attr->ia_valid set to ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_FORCE. Now notify_change() sees that ATTR_KILL_SUID is set and does: ia_valid = attr->ia_valid |= ATTR_MODE attr->ia_mode = (inode->i_mode & ~S_ISUID); which means that when we call setattr_copy() later we will definitely update inode->i_mode. Note that attr->ia_mode still contains S_ISGID. Now we call into the filesystem's ->setattr() inode operation which will end up calling setattr_copy(). Since ATTR_MODE is set we will hit: if (ia_valid & ATTR_MODE) { umode_t mode = attr->ia_mode; vfsgid_t vfsgid = i_gid_into_vfsgid(mnt_userns, inode); if (!vfsgid_in_group_p(vfsgid) && !capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(mnt_userns, inode, CAP_FSETID)) mode &= ~S_ISGID; inode->i_mode = mode; } and since the caller in the test is neither capable nor in the group of the inode the S_ISGID bit is stripped. But assume the file isn't suid then ATTR_KILL_SUID won't be raised which has the consequence that neither the setgid nor the suid bits are stripped even though it should be stripped because the inode isn't in the caller's groups and the caller isn't privileged over the inode. If overlayfs is in the mix things become a bit more complicated and the bug shows up more clearly. When e.g., ovl_setattr() is hit from ovl_fallocate()'s call to file_remove_privs() then ATTR_KILL_SUID and ATTR_KILL_SGID might be raised but because the check in notify_change() is questioning the ATTR_KILL_SGID flag again by requiring S_IXGRP for it to be stripped the S_ISGID bit isn't removed even though it should be stripped: sys_fallocate() -> vfs_fallocate() -> ovl_fallocate() -> file_remove_privs() -> dentry_needs_remove_privs() -> should_remove_suid() -> __remove_privs() newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill; -> notify_change() -> ovl_setattr() /* TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS */ -> ovl_do_notify_change() -> notify_change() /* GIVE UP MOUNTER'S CREDS */ /* TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS */ -> vfs_fallocate() -> xfs_file_fallocate() -> file_modified() -> __file_remove_privs() -> dentry_needs_remove_privs() -> should_remove_suid() -> __remove_privs() newattrs.ia_valid = attr_force | kill; -> notify_change() The fix for all of this is to make file_remove_privs()'s should_remove_suid() helper perform the same checks as we already require in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and have notify_change() not pointlessly requiring S_IXGRP again. It doesn't make any sense in the first place because the caller must calculate the flags via should_remove_suid() anyway which would raise ATTR_KILL_SGID Note that some xfstests will now fail as these patches will cause the setgid bit to be lost in certain conditions for unprivileged users modifying a setgid file when they would've been kept otherwise. I think this risk is worth taking and I explained and mentioned this multiple times on the list [2]. Enforcing the rules consistently across write operations and chmod/chown will lead to losing the setgid bit in cases were it might've been retained before. While I've mentioned this a few times but it's worth repeating just to make sure that this is understood. For the sake of maintainability, consistency, and security this is a risk worth taking. If we really see regressions for workloads the fix is to have special setgid handling in the write path again with different semantics from chmod/chown and possibly additional duct tape for overlayfs. I'll update the relevant xfstests with if you should decide to merge this second setgid cleanup. Before that people should be aware that there might be failures for fstests where unprivileged users modify a setgid file" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20221003123040.900827-1-amir73il@gmail.com [1] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20221122142010.zchf2jz2oymx55qi@wittgenstein [2] * tag 'fs.ovl.setgid.v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping: fs: use consistent setgid checks in is_sxid() ovl: remove privs in ovl_fallocate() ovl: remove privs in ovl_copyfile() attr: use consistent sgid stripping checks attr: add setattr_should_drop_sgid() fs: move should_remove_suid() attr: add in_group_or_capable()
