[ Upstream commit e4075e8bdffd93a9b6d6e1d52fabedceeca5a91b ]

if seq_file .next fuction does not change position index,
read after some lseek can generate unexpected output.

Without patch:
 # dd bs=4 skip=1 if=/sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid
 dd: /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid: cannot skip to specified offset
 id
 no pid
 2+1 records in
 2+1 records out
 10 bytes copied, 0.000213285 s, 46.9 kB/s

Notice the "id" followed by "no pid".

With the patch:
 # dd bs=4 skip=1 if=/sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid
 dd: /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid: cannot skip to specified offset
 id
 0+1 records in
 0+1 records out
 3 bytes copied, 0.000202112 s, 14.8 kB/s

Notice that it only prints "id" and not the "no pid" afterward.

commit e31f7939c1c27faa5d0e3f14519eaf7c89e8a69d upstream.

The ftrace_profile-&gt;counter is unsigned long and
do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which means it can test
non-zero and be truncated to zero for division.
Fix this issue by using div64_ul() instead.

<title>ftrace: Enable trampoline when rec count returns back to one</title>

[ Upstream commit a124692b698b00026a58d89831ceda2331b2e1d0 ]

Custom trampolines can only be enabled if there is only a single ops
attached to it. If there's only a single callback registered to a function,
and the ops has a trampoline registered for it, then we can call the
trampoline directly. This is very useful for improving the performance of
ftrace and livepatch.

If more than one callback is registered to a function, the general
trampoline is used, and the custom trampoline is not restored back to the
direct call even if all the other callbacks were unregistered and we are
back to one callback for the function.

To fix this, set FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag if rec count is decremented
to one, and the ops that left has a trampoline.

Testing After this patch :

insmod livepatch_unshare_files.ko
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/enabled_functions

Mark ftrace mcount handler functions nokprobe since
probing on these functions with kretprobe pushes
return address incorrectly on kretprobe shadow stack.

commit 2840f84f74035e5a535959d5f17269c69fa6edc5 upstream.

The following commands will cause a memory leak:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # echo schedule &gt; instance/foo/set_ftrace_filter
 # rmdir instances/foo

The reason is that the hashes that hold the filters to set_ftrace_filter and
set_ftrace_notrace are not freed if they contain any data on the instance
and the instance is removed.

Found by kmemleak detector.

commit 7b6586562708d2b3a04fe49f217ddbadbbbb0546 upstream.

__unregister_ftrace_function_probe() will incorrectly parse the glob filter
because it resets the search variable that was setup by filter_parse_regex().

Al Viro reported this:

    After that call of filter_parse_regex() we could have func_g.search not
    equal to glob only if glob started with '!' or '*'.  In the former case
    we would've buggered off with -EINVAL (not = 1).  In the latter we
    would've set func_g.search equal to glob + 1, calculated the length of
    that thing in func_g.len and proceeded to reset func_g.search back to
    glob.

    Suppose the glob is e.g. *foo*.  We end up with
	    func_g.type = MATCH_MIDDLE_ONLY;
	    func_g.len = 3;
	    func_g.search = "*foo";
    Feeding that to ftrace_match_record() will not do anything sane - we
    will be looking for names containing "*foo" (-&gt;len is ignored for that
    one).

commit 2b0b8499ae75df91455bbeb7491d45affc384fb0 upstream.

The trampoline allocated by function tracer was overwriten by function_graph
tracer, and caused a memory leak. The save_global_trampoline should have
saved the previous trampoline in register_ftrace_graph() and restored it in
unregister_ftrace_graph(). But as it is implemented, save_global_trampoline was
only used in unregister_ftrace_graph as default value 0, and it overwrote the
previous trampoline's value. Causing the previous allocated trampoline to be
lost.

  Looking further into this, I found that this was left over from when the
  function and function graph tracers shared the same ftrace_ops. But in
  commit 5f151b2401 ("ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer
  together"), the two were separated, and the save_global_trampoline no
  longer was necessary (and it may have been broken back then too).

commit 2b0b8499ae75df91455bbeb7491d45affc384fb0 upstream.

The trampoline allocated by function tracer was overwriten by function_graph
tracer, and caused a memory leak. The save_global_trampoline should have
saved the previous trampoline in register_ftrace_graph() and restored it in
unregister_ftrace_graph(). But as it is implemented, save_global_trampoline was
only used in unregister_ftrace_graph as default value 0, and it overwrote the
previous trampoline's value. Causing the previous allocated trampoline to be
lost.

  Looking further into this, I found that this was left over from when the
  function and function graph tracers shared the same ftrace_ops. But in
  commit 5f151b2401 ("ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer
  together"), the two were separated, and the save_global_trampoline no
  longer was necessary (and it may have been broken back then too).

commit edb096e00724f02db5f6ec7900f3bbd465c6c76f upstream.

If function tracing is disabled by the user via the function-trace option or
the proc sysctl file, and a ftrace_ops that was allocated on the heap is
unregistered, then the shutdown code exits out without doing the proper
clean up. This was found via kmemleak and running the ftrace selftests, as
one of the tests unregisters with function tracing disabled.

<title>ftrace: Check for null ret_stack on profile function graph entry function</title>

commit a8f0f9e49956a74718874b800251455680085600 upstream.

There's a small race when function graph shutsdown and the calling of the
registered function graph entry callback. The callback must not reference
the task's ret_stack without first checking that it is not NULL. Note, when
a ret_stack is allocated for a task, it stays allocated until the task exits.
The problem here, is that function_graph is shutdown, and a new task was
created, which doesn't have its ret_stack allocated. But since some of the
functions are still being traced, the callbacks can still be called.

The normal function_graph code handles this, but starting with commit
8861dd303c ("ftrace: Access ret_stack-&gt;subtime only in the function
profiler") the profiler code references the ret_stack on function entry, but
doesn't check if it is NULL first.

commit 2e028c4fe12907f226b8221815f16c2486ad3aa7 upstream.

My static checker complains that if "func" is NULL then "clear_filter"
is uninitialized.  This seems like it could be true, although it's
possible something subtle is happening that I haven't seen.

    kernel/trace/ftrace.c:3844 match_records()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'clear_filter'.
