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 -&gt; softirq -&gt;
     irq -&gt; NMI), because a trace may occur before the context update is
     visible to the trace recursion logic.

<title>ftrace: Do not blindly read the ip address in ftrace_bug()</title>

commit 6c14133d2d3f768e0a35128faac8aa6ed4815051 upstream.

It was reported that a bug on arm64 caused a bad ip address to be used for
updating into a nop in ftrace_init(), but the error path (rightfully)
returned -EINVAL and not -EFAULT, as the bug caused more than one error to
occur. But because -EINVAL was returned, the ftrace_bug() tried to report
what was at the location of the ip address, and read it directly. This
caused the machine to panic, as the ip was not pointing to a valid memory
address.

Instead, read the ip address with copy_from_kernel_nofault() to safely
access the memory, and if it faults, report that the address faulted,
otherwise report what was in that location.

<title>ftrace: Handle commands when closing set_ftrace_filter file</title>

commit 8c9af478c06bb1ab1422f90d8ecbc53defd44bc3 upstream.

 # echo switch_mm:traceoff &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

will cause switch_mm to stop tracing by the traceoff command.

 # echo -n switch_mm:traceoff &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

does nothing.

The reason is that the parsing in the write function only processes
commands if it finished parsing (there is white space written after the
command). That's to handle:

 write(fd, "switch_mm:", 10);
 write(fd, "traceoff", 8);

cases, where the command is broken over multiple writes.

The problem is if the file descriptor is closed, then the write call is
not processed, and the command needs to be processed in the release code.
The release code can handle matching of functions, but does not handle
commands.

commit 7e0a9220467dbcfdc5bc62825724f3e52e50ab31 upstream.

On some archs, the idle task can call into cpu_suspend(). The cpu_suspend()
will disable or pause function graph tracing, as there's some paths in
bringing down the CPU that can have issues with its return address being
modified. The task_struct structure has a "tracing_graph_pause" atomic
counter, that when set to something other than zero, the function graph
tracer will not modify the return address.

The problem is that the tracing_graph_pause counter is initialized when the
function graph tracer is enabled. This can corrupt the counter for the idle
task if it is suspended in these architectures.

   CPU 1				CPU 2
   -----				-----
  do_idle()
    cpu_suspend()
      pause_graph_tracing()
          task_struct-&gt;tracing_graph_pause++ (0 -&gt; 1)

				start_graph_tracing()
				  for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
				    ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(cpu)
				      task-struct-&gt;tracing_graph_pause = 0 (1 -&gt; 0)

      unpause_graph_tracing()
          task_struct-&gt;tracing_graph_pause-- (0 -&gt; -1)

The above should have gone from 1 to zero, and enabled function graph
tracing again. But instead, it is set to -1, which keeps it disabled.

There's no reason that the field tracing_graph_pause on the task_struct can
not be initialized at boot up.

<title>ftrace: Fix updating FTRACE_FL_TRAMP</title>

commit 4c75b0ff4e4bf7a45b5aef9639799719c28d0073 upstream.

On powerpc, kprobe-direct.tc triggered FTRACE_WARN_ON() in
ftrace_get_addr_new() followed by the below message:
  Bad trampoline accounting at: 000000004222522f (wake_up_process+0xc/0x20) (f0000001)

The set of steps leading to this involved:
- modprobe ftrace-direct-too
- enable_probe
- modprobe ftrace-direct
- rmmod ftrace-direct &lt;-- trigger

The problem turned out to be that we were not updating flags in the
ftrace record properly. From the above message about the trampoline
accounting being bad, it can be seen that the ftrace record still has
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP set though ftrace-direct module is going away. This
happens because we are checking if any ftrace_ops has the
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag set _before_ updating the filter hash.

The fix for this is to look for any _other_ ftrace_ops that also needs
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP.

commit 4c75b0ff4e4bf7a45b5aef9639799719c28d0073 upstream.

On powerpc, kprobe-direct.tc triggered FTRACE_WARN_ON() in
ftrace_get_addr_new() followed by the below message:
  Bad trampoline accounting at: 000000004222522f (wake_up_process+0xc/0x20) (f0000001)

The set of steps leading to this involved:
- modprobe ftrace-direct-too
- enable_probe
- modprobe ftrace-direct
- rmmod ftrace-direct &lt;-- trigger

The problem turned out to be that we were not updating flags in the
ftrace record properly. From the above message about the trampoline
accounting being bad, it can be seen that the ftrace record still has
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP set though ftrace-direct module is going away. This
happens because we are checking if any ftrace_ops has the
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag set _before_ updating the filter hash.

The fix for this is to look for any _other_ ftrace_ops that also needs
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP.

<title>ftrace: Move RCU is watching check after recursion check</title>

commit b40341fad6cc2daa195f8090fd3348f18fff640a upstream.

The first thing that the ftrace function callback helper functions should do
is to check for recursion. Peter Zijlstra found that when
"rcu_is_watching()" had its notrace removed, it caused perf function tracing
to crash. This is because the call of rcu_is_watching() is tested before
function recursion is checked and and if it is traced, it will cause an
infinite recursion loop.

rcu_is_watching() should still stay notrace, but to prevent this should
never had crashed in the first place. The recursion prevention must be the
first thing done in callback functions.

<title>ftrace: Setup correct FTRACE_FL_REGS flags for module</title>

commit 8a224ffb3f52b0027f6b7279854c71a31c48fc97 upstream.

When module loaded and enabled, we will use __ftrace_replace_code
for module if any ftrace_ops referenced it found. But we will get
wrong ftrace_addr for module rec in ftrace_get_addr_new, because
rec-&gt;flags has not been setup correctly. It can cause the callback
function of a ftrace_ops has FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS to be called
with pt_regs set to NULL.
So setup correct FTRACE_FL_REGS flags for rec when we call
referenced_filters to find ftrace_ops references it.

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 :
