commit 100bff23818eb61751ed05d64a7df36ce9728a4d upstream.

The regressing commit is new in 6.10. It assumed that anytime event-&gt;prog
is set bpf_overflow_handler() should be invoked to execute the attached bpf
program. This assumption is false for tracing events, and as a result the
regressing commit broke bpftrace by invoking the bpf handler with garbage
inputs on overflow.

Prior to the regression the overflow handlers formed a chain (of length 0,
1, or 2) and perf_event_set_bpf_handler() (the !tracing case) added
bpf_overflow_handler() to that chain, while perf_event_attach_bpf_prog()
(the tracing case) did not. Both set event-&gt;prog. The chain of overflow
handlers was replaced by a single overflow handler slot and a fixed call to
bpf_overflow_handler() when appropriate. This modifies the condition there
to check event-&gt;prog-&gt;type == BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT, restoring the
previous behavior and fixing bpftrace.

[ Upstream commit 0be9ae5486cd9e767138c13638820d240713f5f1 ]

Since commit 0108a4e9f358 ("bpf: ensure main program has an extable"),
prog-&gt;aux-&gt;func[0]-&gt;kallsyms is left as uninitialized. For BPF programs
with subprogs, the symbol for the main program is missing just as shown
in the output of perf script below:

 ffffffff81284b69 qp_trie_lookup_elem+0xb9 ([kernel.kallsyms])
 ffffffffc0011125 bpf_prog_a4a0eb0651e6af8b_lookup_qp_trie+0x5d (bpf...)
 ffffffff8127bc2b bpf_for_each_array_elem+0x7b ([kernel.kallsyms])
 ffffffffc00110a1 +0x25 ()
 ffffffff8121a89a trace_call_bpf+0xca ([kernel.kallsyms])

Fix it by always using prog instead prog-&gt;aux-&gt;func[0] to emit ksymbol
event for the main program. After the fix, the output of perf script
will be correct:

 ffffffff81284b96 qp_trie_lookup_elem+0xe6 ([kernel.kallsyms])

commit 3a5465418f5fd970e86a86c7f4075be262682840 upstream.

The perf pending task work is never waited upon the matching event
release. In the case of a child event, released via free_event()
directly, this can potentially result in a leaked event, such as in the
following scenario that doesn't even require a weak IRQ work
implementation to trigger:

schedule()
   prepare_task_switch()
=======&gt; &lt;NMI&gt;
      perf_event_overflow()
         event-&gt;pending_sigtrap = ...
         irq_work_queue(&amp;event-&gt;pending_irq)
&lt;======= &lt;/NMI&gt;
      perf_event_task_sched_out()
          event_sched_out()
              event-&gt;pending_sigtrap = 0;
              atomic_long_inc_not_zero(&amp;event-&gt;refcount)
              task_work_add(&amp;event-&gt;pending_task)
   finish_lock_switch()
=======&gt; &lt;IRQ&gt;
   perf_pending_irq()
      //do nothing, rely on pending task work
&lt;======= &lt;/IRQ&gt;

begin_new_exec()
   perf_event_exit_task()
      perf_event_exit_event()
         // If is child event
         free_event()
            WARN(atomic_long_cmpxchg(&amp;event-&gt;refcount, 1, 0) != 1)
            // event is leaked

Similar scenarios can also happen with perf_event_remove_on_exec() or
simply against concurrent perf_event_release().

Fix this with synchonizing against the possibly remaining pending task
work while freeing the event, just like is done with remaining pending
IRQ work. This means that the pending task callback neither need nor
should hold a reference to the event, preventing it from ever beeing
freed.

commit 2fd5ad3f310de22836cdacae919dd99d758a1f1b upstream.

When a task is scheduled out, pending sigtrap deliveries are deferred
to the target task upon resume to userspace via task_work.

However failures while adding an event's callback to the task_work
engine are ignored. And since the last call for events exit happen
after task work is eventually closed, there is a small window during
which pending sigtrap can be queued though ignored, leaking the event
refcount addition such as in the following scenario:

    TASK A
    -----

    do_exit()
       exit_task_work(tsk);

       &lt;IRQ&gt;
       perf_event_overflow()
          event-&gt;pending_sigtrap = pending_id;
          irq_work_queue(&amp;event-&gt;pending_irq);
       &lt;/IRQ&gt;
    =========&gt; PREEMPTION: TASK A -&gt; TASK B
       event_sched_out()
          event-&gt;pending_sigtrap = 0;
          atomic_long_inc_not_zero(&amp;event-&gt;refcount)
          // FAILS: task work has exited
          task_work_add(&amp;event-&gt;pending_task)
       [...]
       &lt;IRQ WORK&gt;
       perf_pending_irq()
          // early return: event-&gt;oncpu = -1
       &lt;/IRQ WORK&gt;
       [...]
    =========&gt; TASK B -&gt; TASK A
       perf_event_exit_task(tsk)
          perf_event_exit_event()
             free_event()
                WARN(atomic_long_cmpxchg(&amp;event-&gt;refcount, 1, 0) != 1)
                // leak event due to unexpected refcount == 2

As a result the event is never released while the task exits.

Fix this with appropriate task_work_add()'s error handling.

[ Upstream commit 43deb76b19663a96ec2189d8f4eb9a9dc2d7623f ]

The default aux_watermark is half the AUX area buffer size. In general,
on a 64-bit architecture, the AUX area buffer size could be a bigger than
fits in a 32-bit type, but the calculation does not allow for that
possibility.

However the aux_watermark value is recorded in a u32, so should not be
more than U32_MAX either.

Fix by doing the calculation in a correctly sized type, and limiting the
result to U32_MAX.

[ Upstream commit dbc48c8f41c208082cfa95e973560134489e3309 ]

nr_pages is unsigned long but gets passed to rb_alloc_aux() as an int,
and is stored as an int.

Only power-of-2 values are accepted, so if nr_pages is a 64_bit value, it
will be passed to rb_alloc_aux() as zero.

That is not ideal because:
 1. the value is incorrect
 2. rb_alloc_aux() is at risk of misbehaving, although it manages to
 return -ENOMEM in that case, it is a result of passing zero to get_order()
 even though the get_order() result is documented to be undefined in that
 case.

Fix by simply validating the maximum supported value in the first place.
Use -ENOMEM error code for consistency with the current error code that
is returned in that case.

perf_buffer-&gt;aux_nr_pages uses a 32-bit type, so a cast is needed to
calculate a 64-bit size.

In our production environment, we found many hung tasks which are
blocked for more than 18 hours. Their call traces are like this:

[346278.191102] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae

The task was waiting for the refcount become to 1, but from the vmcore,
we found the refcount has already been 1. It seems that the task didn't
get woken up by perf_event_release_kernel() and got stuck forever. The
below scenario may cause the problem.

Thread A					Thread B
...						...
perf_event_free_task				perf_event_release_kernel
						   ...
						   acquire event-&gt;child_mutex
						   ...
						   get_ctx
   ...						   release event-&gt;child_mutex
   acquire ctx-&gt;mutex
   ...
   perf_free_event (acquire/release event-&gt;child_mutex)
   ...
   release ctx-&gt;mutex
   wait_var_event
						   acquire ctx-&gt;mutex
						   acquire event-&gt;child_mutex
						   # move existing events to free_list
						   release event-&gt;child_mutex
						   release ctx-&gt;mutex
						   put_ctx
...						...

In this case, all events of the ctx have been freed, so we couldn't
find the ctx in free_list and Thread A will miss the wakeup. It's thus
necessary to add a wakeup after dropping the reference.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

   - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
	"Clean up __folio_put()"
	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
	"Remove page_mapping()"
	"More folio compat code removal"

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

     path to use struct vm_fault".

   - selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
     selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".

   - Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
     series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
     Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
     memory types works as intended.

   - David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
     driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
     follow_pte() fixes".

   - David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his
     series "mm: mapcount for large folios + page_mapcount() cleanups".

     optimizes the freeing of these things.

   - Kemeng Shi has added more userspace-visible writeback
     instrumentation in the series "Improve visibility of writeback".

     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

   - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
     the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

   - Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
     "selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".

   - Improvements to the swapping of multi-size THPs from Ryan Roberts
     in the series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting".

   - Kefeng Wang has significantly optimized the handling of arm64's
     permission page faults in the series
	"arch/mm/fault: accelerate pagefault when badaccess"
	"mm: remove arch's private VM_FAULT_BADMAP/BADACCESS"

   - GUP cleanups from David Hildenbrand in "mm/gup: consistently call
     it GUP-fast".

   - hugetlb fault code cleanups from Vishal Moola in "Hugetlb fault
     path to use struct vm_fault".

   - selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
     selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".

   - Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
     series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
     Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
     memory types works as intended.

   - David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
     driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
     follow_pte() fixes".

   - David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his
     series "mm: mapcount for large folios + page_mapcount() cleanups".

   - Folio conversions in KSM in Alex Shi's series "transfer page to
     folio in KSM".

   - Matthew Wilcox has been looking at buffer_head code and found the
     documentation to be lacking. The series is "Improve buffer head
     documentation".

     series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free"
     optimizes the freeing of these things.

   - Kemeng Shi has added more userspace-visible writeback
     instrumentation in the series "Improve visibility of writeback".

     "Fix and cleanups to page-writeback".

   - Matthew Wilcox reduces mmap_lock traffic in the anon vma code in
     the series "Improve anon_vma scalability for anon VMAs". Intel's
     test bot reported an improbable 3x improvement in one test.

   - SeongJae Park adds some DAMON feature work in the series
	"mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity access recheck"
	"selftests/damon: add DAMOS quota goal test"

   - Also some maintenance work in the series
	"mm/damon/paddr: simplify page level access re-check for pageout"
	"mm/damon: misc fixes and improvements"

   - David Hildenbrand has disabled some known-to-fail selftests ni the
     series "selftests: mm: cow: flag vmsplice() hugetlb tests as
     XFAIL".

   - memcg metadata storage optimizations from Shakeel Butt in "memcg:
     reduce memory consumption by memcg stats".

   - DAX fixes and maintenance work from Vishal Verma in the series
     "dax/bus.c: Fixups for dax-bus locking""

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - tracing/probes: Add new pseudo-types %pd and %pD support for dumping
   dentry name from 'struct dentry *' and file name from 'struct file *'

 - uprobes performance optimizations:
    - Speed up the BPF uprobe event by delaying the fetching of the
      uprobe event arguments that are not used in BPF
    - Avoid locking by speculatively checking whether uprobe event is
      valid
    - Reduce lock contention by using read/write_lock instead of
      spinlock for uprobe list operation. This improved BPF uprobe
      benchmark result 43% on average

 - rethook: Remove non-fatal warning messages when tracing stack from
   BPF and skip rcu_is_watching() validation in rethook if possible

 - objpool: Optimize objpool (which is used by kretprobes and fprobe as
   rethook backend storage) by inlining functions and avoid caching
   nr_cpu_ids because it is a const value

 - fprobe: Add entry/exit callbacks types (code cleanup)

 - kprobes: Check ftrace was killed in kprobes if it uses ftrace

* tag 'probes-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:
  kprobe/ftrace: bail out if ftrace was killed
  selftests/ftrace: Fix required features for VFS type test case
  objpool: cache nr_possible_cpus() and avoid caching nr_cpu_ids
  objpool: enable inlining objpool_push() and objpool_pop() operations
  rethook: honor CONFIG_FTRACE_VALIDATE_RCU_IS_WATCHING in rethook_try_get()
  ftrace: make extra rcu_is_watching() validation check optional
  uprobes: reduce contention on uprobes_tree access
  rethook: Remove warning messages printed for finding return address of a frame.

  selftests/ftrace: add fprobe test cases for VFS type "%pd" and "%pD"
  selftests/ftrace: add kprobe test cases for VFS type "%pd" and "%pD"
