commit 452f4b31e3f70a52b97890888eeb9eaa9a87139a upstream.

The name member of the struct trace_event_call is assigned with
generated string literals; declare them pointer to read-only.

Reported by clang:

<title>tracing: Increase PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE to handle Sentinel1 and docker together</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e531e90b5ab0f7ce5ff298e165214c1aec6ed187 upstream.

Running endpoint security solutions like Sentinel1 that use perf-based
tracing heavily lead to this repeated dump complaining about dockerd.
The default value of 2048 is nowhere near not large enough.

Using the prior patch "tracing: show size of requested buffer", we get
"perf buffer not large enough, wanted 6644, have 6144", after repeated
up-sizing (I did 2/4/6/8K). With 8K, the problem doesn't occur at all,
so below is the trace for 6K.

I'm wondering if this value should be selectable at boot time, but this
is a good starting point.

commit bb32500fb9b78215e4ef6ee8b4345c5f5d7eafb4 upstream.

The following can crash the kernel:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # echo 'p:sched schedule' &gt; kprobe_events
 # exec 5&gt;&gt;events/kprobes/sched/enable
 # &gt; kprobe_events
 # exec 5&gt;&amp;-

The above commands:

 1. Change directory to the tracefs directory
 2. Create a kprobe event (doesn't matter what one)
 3. Open bash file descriptor 5 on the enable file of the kprobe event
 4. Delete the kprobe event (removes the files too)
 5. Close the bash file descriptor 5

The above causes a crash!

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028
 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
 #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
 PGD 0 P4D 0
 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI

 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.2-debian-1.16.2-1 04/01/2014
 RIP: 0010:tracing_release_file_tr+0xc/0x50

What happens here is that the kprobe event creates a trace_event_file
"file" descriptor that represents the file in tracefs to the event. It
maintains state of the event (is it enabled for the given instance?).
Opening the "enable" file gets a reference to the event "file" descriptor
via the open file descriptor. When the kprobe event is deleted, the file is
also deleted from the tracefs system which also frees the event "file"
descriptor.

But as the tracefs file is still opened by user space, it will not be
totally removed until the final dput() is called on it. But this is not
true with the event "file" descriptor that is already freed. If the user
does a write to or simply closes the file descriptor it will reference the
event "file" descriptor that was just freed, causing a use-after-free bug.

To solve this, add a ref count to the event "file" descriptor as well as a
new flag called "FREED". The "file" will not be freed until the last
reference is released. But the FREE flag will be set when the event is
removed to prevent any more modifications to that event from happening,
even if there's still a reference to the event "file" descriptor.

[ Upstream commit 5125e757e62f6c1d5478db4c2b61a744060ddf3f ]

To avoid returning uninitialized or random values when querying the file
descriptor (fd) and accessing probe_addr, it is necessary to clear the
variable prior to its use.

The function ftrace_set_clr_event is declared static and marked
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), which is at best an odd combination. Because the
function was decided to be a part of API, this commit removes the static
attribute and adds the declaration to the header.

trace_get_fields() is the only way to read tracepoint fields at
run time, as their fields are defined at compile-time with macros.
Make this function visible to all users and it will be used by
trace event injection code to calculate the size of a tracepoint
entry.

This patch enables uprobes with reference counter in fd-based uprobe.
Highest 32 bits of perf_event_attr.config is used to stored offset
of the reference count (semaphore).

Format information in /sys/bus/event_source/devices/uprobe/format/ is
