commit 56f4ca0a79a9f1af98f26c54b9b89ba1f9bcc6bd upstream.
rb_head_page_deactivate() expects cpu_buffer to contain a valid list of
->pages, so verify that the list is actually present before calling it.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE
static analysis tool.

commit 19ba6c8af9382c4c05dc6a0a79af3013b9a35cd0 upstream.
The @ftrace_mod is allocated by kzalloc(), so both the members {prev,next}
of @ftrace_mode->list are NULL, it's not a valid state to call list_del().
If kstrdup() for @ftrace_mod->{func|module} fails, it goes to @out_free
tag and calls free_ftrace_mod() to destroy @ftrace_mod, then list_del()
will write prev->next and next->prev, where null pointer dereference
happens.

commit bcea02b096333dc74af987cb9685a4dbdd820840 upstream.
If we can't allocate this size, try something smaller with half of the

commit a0fcaaed0c46cf9399d3a2d6e0c87ddb3df0e044 upstream.
The ring buffer is broken up into sub buffers (currently of page size).
Each sub buffer has a pointer to its "tail" (the last event written to the
sub buffer). When a new event is requested, the tail is locally
incremented to cover the size of the new event. This is done in a way that
there is no need for locking.
If the tail goes past the end of the sub buffer, the process of moving to
the next sub buffer takes place. After setting the current sub buffer to
the next one, the previous one that had the tail go passed the end of the
sub buffer needs to be reset back to the original tail location (before
the new event was requested) and the rest of the sub buffer needs to be
"padded".
The race happens when a reader takes control of the sub buffer. As readers
do a "swap" of sub buffers from the ring buffer to get exclusive access to
the sub buffer, it replaces the "head" sub buffer with an empty sub buffer
that goes back into the writable portion of the ring buffer. This swap can
happen as soon as the writer moves to the next sub buffer and before it
updates the last sub buffer with padding.
Because the sub buffer can be released to the reader while the writer is
still updating the padding, it is possible for the reader to see the event
that goes past the end of the sub buffer. This can cause obvious issues.
To fix this, add a few memory barriers so that the reader definitely sees
the updates to the sub buffer, and also waits until the writer has put
back the "tail" of the sub buffer back to the last event that was written
on it.
To be paranoid, it will only spin for 1 second, otherwise it will
warn and shutdown the ring buffer code. 1 second should be enough as
the writer does have preemption disabled. If the writer doesn't move
within 1 second (with preemption disabled) something is horribly
wrong. No interrupt should last 1 second!

commit ec0bbc5ec5664dcee344f79373852117dc672c86 upstream.
The wake up waiters only checks the "wakeup_full" variable and not the
"full_waiters_pending". The full_waiters_pending is set when a waiter is
added to the wait queue. The wakeup_full is only set when an event is
triggered, and it clears the full_waiters_pending to avoid multiple calls
to irq_work_queue().
The irq_work callback really needs to check both wakeup_full as well as
full_waiters_pending such that this code can be used to wake up waiters
when a file is closed that represents the ring buffer and the waiters need
to be woken up.

commit fa8f4a89736b654125fb254b0db753ac68a5fced upstream.
If a page is partially read, and then the splice system call is run
against the ring buffer, it will always fail to read, no matter how much
is in the ring buffer. That's because the code path for a partial read of
the page does will fail if the "full" flag is set.
The splice system call wants full pages, so if the read of the ring buffer
is not yet full, it should return zero, and the splice will block. But if
a previous read was done, where the beginning has been consumed, it should
still be given to the splice caller if the rest of the page has been
written to.
This caused the splice command to never consume data in this scenario, and
let the ring buffer just fill up and lose events.

commit 0ce0638edf5ec83343302b884fa208179580700a upstream.
When executing following commands like what document said, but the log
"#### all functions enabled ####" was not shown as expect:
1. Set a 'mod' filter:
$ echo 'write*:mod:ext3' > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
2. Invert above filter:
$ echo '!write*:mod:ext3' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
3. Read the file:
$ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
By some debugging, I found that flag FTRACE_HASH_FL_MOD was not unset
after inversion like above step 2 and then result of ftrace_hash_empty()
is incorrect.

commit c3b0f72e805f0801f05fa2aa52011c4bfc694c44 upstream.
ftrace_startup does not remove ops from ftrace_ops_list when
ftrace_startup_enable fails:
register_ftrace_function
ftrace_startup
__register_ftrace_function
...
add_ftrace_ops(&ftrace_ops_list, ops)
...
...
ftrace_startup_enable // if ftrace failed to modify, ftrace_disabled is set to 1
...
return 0 // ops is in the ftrace_ops_list.
When ftrace_disabled = 1, unregister_ftrace_function simply returns without doing anything:
unregister_ftrace_function
ftrace_shutdown
if (unlikely(ftrace_disabled))
return -ENODEV; // return here, __unregister_ftrace_function is not executed,
// as a result, ops is still in the ftrace_ops_list
__unregister_ftrace_function
...
If ops is dynamically allocated, it will be free later, in this case,
is_ftrace_trampoline accesses NULL pointer:
is_ftrace_trampoline
ftrace_ops_trampoline
do_for_each_ftrace_op(op, ftrace_ops_list) // OOPS! op may be NULL!

[ Upstream commit ef9188bcc6ca1d8a2ad83e826b548e6820721061 ]
To prepare for support asynchronous tracer_init_tracefs initcall,
avoid calling create_trace_option_files before __update_tracer_options.
Otherwise, create_trace_option_files will show warning because
some tracers in trace_types list are already in tr->topts.
For example, hwlat_tracer call register_tracer in late_initcall,
and global_trace.dir is already created in tracing_init_dentry,
hwlat_tracer will be put into tr->topts.
Then if the __update_tracer_options is executed after hwlat_tracer
registered, create_trace_option_files find that hwlat_tracer is
already in tr->topts.

commit ce33c845b030c9cf768370c951bc699470b09fa7 upstream.
The stacktrace event trigger is not dumping the stacktrace to the instance
where it was enabled, but to the global "instance."
Use the private_data, pointing to the trigger file, to figure out the
corresponding trace instance, and use it in the trigger action, like
snapshot_trigger does.

[ Upstream commit 3203ce39ac0b2a57a84382ec184c7d4a0bede175 ]
The kernel parameter "tp_printk_stop_on_boot" starts with "tp_printk" which is
the same as another kernel parameter "tp_printk". If "tp_printk" setup is
called before the "tp_printk_stop_on_boot", it will override the latter
and keep it from being set.
This is similar to other kernel parameter issues, such as:
Commit 745a600cf1a6 ("um: console: Ignore console= option")
or init/do_mounts.c:45 (setup function of "ro" kernel param)
Fix it by checking for a "_" right after the "tp_printk" and if that
exists do not process the parameter.

osnoise tracer on ppc64le is triggering osnoise_taint() for negative
duration in get_int_safe_duration() called from
trace_sched_switch_callback()->thread_exit().
The problem though is that the check for a valid trace_percpu_buffer is
incorrect in get_trace_buf(). The check is being done after calculating
the pointer for the current cpu, rather than on the main percpu pointer.
Fix the check to be against trace_percpu_buffer.

The reason is elts->pages[i] is alloced by get_zeroed_page.
and kmemleak will not scan the area alloced by get_zeroed_page.
The address stored in elts->pages will be regarded as leaked.
That is, the elts->pages[i] will have pointers loaded onto it as well, and
without telling kmemleak about it, those pointers will look like memory
without a reference.
To fix this, call kmemleak_alloc to tell kmemleak to scan elts->pages[i]

When pid filtering is activated in an instance, all of the events trace
files for that instance has the PID_FILTER flag set. This determines
whether or not pid filtering needs to be done on the event, otherwise the
event is executed as normal.
If pid filtering is enabled when an event is created (via a dynamic event
or modules), its flag is not updated to reflect the current state, and the
events are not filtered properly.

commit 4030a6e6a6a4a42ff8c18414c9e0c93e24cc70b8 upstream.
Currently tgid_map is sized at PID_MAX_DEFAULT entries, which means that
on systems where pid_max is configured higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT the
ftrace record-tgid option doesn't work so well. Any tasks with PIDs
higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT are simply not recorded in tgid_map, and
don't show up in the saved_tgids file.
In particular since systemd v243 & above configure pid_max to its
highest possible 1<<22 value by default on 64 bit systems this renders
the record-tgids option of little use.
Increase the size of tgid_map to the configured pid_max instead,
allowing it to cover the full range of PIDs up to the maximum value of
PID_MAX_LIMIT if the system is configured that way.
On 64 bit systems with pid_max == PID_MAX_LIMIT this will increase the
size of tgid_map from 256KiB to 16MiB. Whilst this 64x increase in
memory overhead sounds significant 64 bit systems are presumably best
placed to accommodate it, and since tgid_map is only allocated when the
record-tgid option is actually used presumably the user would rather it
spends sufficient memory to actually record the tgids they expect.
The size of tgid_map could also increase for CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=y
configurations, but these seem unlikely to be systems upon which people
are both configuring a large pid_max and running ftrace with record-tgid
anyway.
Of note is that we only allocate tgid_map once, the first time that the
record-tgid option is enabled. Therefore its size is only set once, to
the value of pid_max at the time the record-tgid option is first
enabled. If a user increases pid_max after that point, the saved_tgids
file will not contain entries for any tasks with pids beyond the earlier
value of pid_max.

[ Upstream commit 7ce1bb83a14019f8c396d57ec704d19478747716 ]
If CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y, attempting to read an event histogram will cause
the kernel to panic due to failed CFI check.
1. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
2. cat events/sched/sched_switch/hist
3. kernel panics on attempting to read hist
This happens because the sort() function expects a generic
int (*)(const void *, const void *) pointer for the compare function.
To prevent this CFI failure, change tracing map cmp_entries_* function
signatures to match this.
Also, fix the build error reported by the kernel test robot [1].

commit ed65df63a39a3f6ed04f7258de8b6789e5021c18 upstream.
While writing an email explaining the "bit = 0" logic for a discussion on
making ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() disable preemption, I discovered a
path that makes the "not do the logic if bit is zero" unsafe.
The recursion logic is done in hot paths like the function tracer. Thus,
any code executed causes noticeable overhead. Thus, tricks are done to try
to limit the amount of code executed. This included the recursion testing
logic.
Having recursion testing is important, as there are many paths that can
end up in an infinite recursion cycle when tracing every function in the
kernel. Thus protection is needed to prevent that from happening.
Because it is OK to recurse due to different running context levels (e.g.
an interrupt preempts a trace, and then a trace occurs in the interrupt
handler), a set of bits are used to know which context one is in (normal,
softirq, irq and NMI). If a recursion occurs in the same level, it is
prevented*.
Then there are infrastructure levels of recursion as well. When more than
one callback is attached to the same function to trace, it calls a loop
function to iterate over all the callbacks. Both the callbacks and the
loop function have recursion protection. The callbacks use the
"ftrace_test_recursion_trylock()" which has a "function" set of context
bits to test, and the loop function calls the internal
trace_test_and_set_recursion() directly, with an "internal" set of bits.
If an architecture does not implement all the features supported by ftrace
then the callbacks are never called directly, and the loop function is
called instead, which will implement the features of ftrace.
Since both the loop function and the callbacks do recursion protection, it
was seemed unnecessary to do it in both locations. Thus, a trick was made
to have the internal set of recursion bits at a more significant bit
location than the function bits. Then, if any of the higher bits were set,
the logic of the function bits could be skipped, as any new recursion
would first have to go through the loop function.
This is true for architectures that do not support all the ftrace
features, because all functions being traced must first go through the
loop function before going to the callbacks. But this is not true for
architectures that support all the ftrace features. That's because the
loop function could be called due to two callbacks attached to the same
function, but then a recursion function inside the callback could be
called that does not share any other callback, and it will be called
directly.
i.e.
traced_function_1: [ more than one callback tracing it ]
call loop_func
loop_func:
trace_recursion set internal bit
call callback
callback:
trace_recursion [ skipped because internal bit is set, return 0 ]
call traced_function_2
traced_function_2: [ only traced by above callback ]
call callback
callback:
trace_recursion [ skipped because internal bit is set, return 0 ]
call traced_function_2
[ wash, rinse, repeat, BOOM! out of shampoo! ]
Thus, the "bit == 0 skip" trick is not safe, unless the loop function is
call for all functions.
Since we want to encourage architectures to implement all ftrace features,
having them slow down due to this extra logic may encourage the
maintainers to update to the latest ftrace features. And because this
logic is only safe for them, remove it completely.
[*] There is on layer of recursion that is allowed, and that is to allow
for the transition between interrupt context (normal -> softirq ->
irq -> NMI), because a trace may occur before the context update is
visible to the trace recursion logic.

commit 67f0d6d9883c13174669f88adac4f0ee656cc16a upstream.
The "rb_per_cpu_empty()" misinterpret the condition (as not-empty) when
"head_page" and "commit_page" of "struct ring_buffer_per_cpu" points to
the same buffer page, whose "buffer_data_page" is empty and "read" field
is non-zero.
An error scenario could be constructed as followed (kernel perspective):
1. All pages in the buffer has been accessed by reader(s) so that all of
them will have non-zero "read" field.
2. Read and clear all buffer pages so that "rb_num_of_entries()" will
return 0 rendering there's no more data to read. It is also required
that the "read_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to the same
page, while "head_page" is the next page of them.
3. Invoke "ring_buffer_lock_reserve()" with large enough "length"
so that it shot pass the end of current tail buffer page. Now the
"head_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to the same page.
4. Discard current event with "ring_buffer_discard_commit()", so that
"head_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to a page whose buffer
data page is now empty.
When the error scenario has been constructed, "tracing_read_pipe" will
be trapped inside a deadloop: "trace_empty()" returns 0 since
"rb_per_cpu_empty()" returns 0 when it hits the CPU containing such
constructed ring buffer. Then "trace_find_next_entry_inc()" always
return NULL since "rb_num_of_entries()" reports there's no more entry
to read. Finally "trace_seq_to_user()" returns "-EBUSY" spanking
"tracing_read_pipe" back to the start of the "waitagain" loop.
I've also written a proof-of-concept script to construct the scenario
and trigger the bug automatically, you can use it to trace and validate
my reasoning above:
https://github.com/aegistudio/RingBufferDetonator.git
Tests has been carried out on linux kernel 5.14-rc2
(2734d6c1b1a089fb593ef6a23d4b70903526fe0c), my fixed version
of kernel (for testing whether my update fixes the bug) and
some older kernels (for range of affected kernels). Test result is
also attached to the proof-of-concept repository.

Where it triggered a fault on strlen(key) where key was the filename.
The reason is that filename is a char * to user space, and the histogram
code just blindly dereferenced it, with obvious bad results.
I originally tried to use strncpy_from_user/kernel_nofault() but found
that there's other places that its dereferenced and not worth the effort.
Just do not allow "char *" to act like strings.

commit b81b3e959adb107cd5b36c7dc5ba1364bbd31eb2 upstream.
The tgid_map array records a mapping from pid to tgid, where the index
of an entry within the array is the pid & the value stored at that index
is the tgid.
The saved_tgids_next() function iterates over pointers into the tgid_map
array & dereferences the pointers which results in the tgid, but then it
passes that dereferenced value to trace_find_tgid() which treats it as a
pid & does a further lookup within the tgid_map array. It seems likely
that the intent here was to skip over entries in tgid_map for which the
recorded tgid is zero, but instead we end up skipping over entries for
which the thread group leader hasn't yet had its own tgid recorded in
tgid_map.
A minimal fix would be to remove the call to trace_find_tgid, turning:
if (trace_find_tgid(*ptr))
into:
if (*ptr)
..but it seems like this logic can be much simpler if we simply let
seq_read() iterate over the whole tgid_map array & filter out empty
entries by returning SEQ_SKIP from saved_tgids_show(). Here we take that
approach, removing the incorrect logic here entirely.

commit 89529d8b8f8daf92d9979382b8d2eb39966846ea upstream.
The trace_clock_global() tries to make sure the events between CPUs is
somewhat in order. A global value is used and updated by the latest read
of a clock. If one CPU is ahead by a little, and is read by another CPU, a
lock is taken, and if the timestamp of the other CPU is behind, it will
simply use the other CPUs timestamp.
The lock is also only taken with a "trylock" due to tracing, and strange
recursions can happen. The lock is not taken at all in NMI context.
In the case where the lock is not able to be taken, the non synced
timestamp is returned. But it will not be less than the saved global
timestamp.
The problem arises because when the time goes "backwards" the time
returned is the saved timestamp plus 1. If the lock is not taken, and the
plus one to the timestamp is returned, there's a small race that can cause
the time to go backwards!

trace_clock_global() {
ts = clock() [ 1000 ]
trylock(clock_lock) [ success ]
global_ts = ts; [ 1000 ]
<interrupted by NMI>
trace_clock_global() {
ts = clock() [ 999 ]
if (ts < global_ts)
ts = global_ts + 1 [ 1001 ]
trylock(clock_lock) [ fail ]
return ts [ 1001]
}
unlock(clock_lock);
return ts; [ 1000 ]
}
trace_clock_global() {
ts = clock() [ 1000 ]
if (ts < global_ts) [ false 1000 == 1000 ]
trylock(clock_lock) [ success ]
global_ts = ts; [ 1000 ]
unlock(clock_lock)
return ts; [ 1000 ]
}
The above case shows to reads of trace_clock_global() on the same CPU, but
the second read returns one less than the first read. That is, time when
backwards, and this is not what is allowed by trace_clock_global().
This was triggered by heavy tracing and the ring buffer checker that tests
for the clock going backwards:
Ring buffer clock went backwards: 20613921464 -> 20613921463
