[ Upstream commit cbdd96f5586151e48317d90a403941ec23f12660 ]

Instead of calling BUG_ON(), if we find a kprobe in use on free kprobe
list, just remove it from the list and keep it on kprobe hash list
as same as other in-use kprobes.

<title>kprobes: Prohibit probing on BUG() and WARN() address</title>

[ Upstream commit e336b4027775cb458dc713745e526fa1a1996b2a ]

Since BUG() and WARN() may use a trap (e.g. UD2 on x86) to
get the address where the BUG() has occurred, kprobes can not
do single-step out-of-line that instruction. So prohibit
probing on such address.

Without this fix, if someone put a kprobe on WARN(), the
kernel will crash with invalid opcode error instead of
outputing warning message, because kernel can not find
correct bug address.

As a reproducer I've been using bcc's funccount.py
(https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/funccount.py),
for example:

 # ./funccount.py '*interrupt*'

That immediately triggers the lockdep splat.

Fix by acquiring text_mutex before module_mutex in kprobe_optimizer().

commit 5f843ed415581cfad4ef8fefe31c138a8346ca8a upstream.

The following commit introduced a bug in one of our error paths:

  819319fc9346 ("kprobes: Return error if we fail to reuse kprobe instead of BUG_ON()")

it missed to handle the return value of kprobe_optready() as
error-value. In reality, the kprobe_optready() returns a bool
result, so "true" case must be passed instead of 0.

This causes some errors on kprobe boot-time selftests on ARM:

 [   ] Beginning kprobe tests...
 [   ] Probe ARM code
 [   ]     kprobe
 [   ]     kretprobe
 [   ] ARM instruction simulation
 [   ]     Check decoding tables
 [   ]     Run test cases
 [   ] FAIL: test_case_handler not run
 [   ] FAIL: Test andge	r10, r11, r14, asr r7
 [   ] FAIL: Scenario 11
 ...
 [   ] FAIL: Scenario 7
 [   ] Total instruction simulation tests=1631, pass=1433 fail=198
 [   ] kprobe tests failed

This can happen if an optimized probe is unregistered and next
kprobe is registered on same address until the previous probe
is not reclaimed.

If this happens, a hidden aggregated probe may be kept in memory,
and no new kprobe can probe same address. Also, in that case
register_kprobe() will return "1" instead of minus error value,
which can mislead caller logic.

[ Upstream commit 819319fc93461c07b9cdb3064f154bd8cfd48172 ]

Make reuse_unused_kprobe() to return error code if
it fails to reuse unused kprobe for optprobe instead
of calling BUG_ON().

commit f2a3ab36077222437b4826fc76111caa14562b7c upstream.

Since the blacklist and list files on debugfs indicates
a sensitive address information to reader, it should be
restricted to the root user.

<title>kprobes: Use synchronize_rcu_tasks() for optprobe with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</title>

[ Upstream commit a30b85df7d599f626973e9cd3056fe755bd778e0 ]

We want to wait for all potentially preempted kprobes trampoline
execution to have completed. This guarantees that any freed
trampoline memory is not in use by any task in the system anymore.
synchronize_rcu_tasks() gives such a guarantee, so use it.

Also, this guarantees to wait for all potentially preempted tasks
on the instructions which will be replaced with a jump.

Since this becomes a problem only when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, enable
CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=y for synchronize_rcu_tasks() in that case.

Re-factor jprobe registration functions as the current version is
getting too unwieldy. Move the actual jprobe registration to
register_jprobe() and re-organize code accordingly.
