commit c2274b908db05529980ec056359fae916939fdaa upstream.

The reader code in rb_get_reader_page() swaps a new reader page into the
ring buffer by doing cmpxchg on old-&gt;list.prev-&gt;next to point it to the
new page. Following that, if the operation is successful,
old-&gt;list.next-&gt;prev gets updated too. This means the underlying
doubly-linked list is temporarily inconsistent, page-&gt;prev-&gt;next or
page-&gt;next-&gt;prev might not be equal back to page for some page in the
ring buffer.

The resize operation in ring_buffer_resize() can be invoked in parallel.
It calls rb_check_pages() which can detect the described inconsistency
and stop further tracing:

Note that ring_buffer_resize() calls rb_check_pages() only if the parent
trace_buffer has recording disabled. Recent commit d78ab792705c
("tracing: Stop current tracer when resizing buffer") causes that it is
now always the case which makes it more likely to experience this issue.

The window to hit this race is nonetheless very small. To help
reproducing it, one can add a delay loop in rb_get_reader_page():

 ret = rb_head_page_replace(reader, cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page);
 if (!ret)
 	goto spin;
 for (unsigned i = 0; i &lt; 1U &lt;&lt; 26; i++)  /* inserted delay loop */
 	__asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory");
 rb_list_head(reader-&gt;list.next)-&gt;prev = &amp;cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page-&gt;list;

.. and then run the following commands on the target system:

 echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/enable
 while true; do
 	echo 16 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 	echo 8 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 done &amp;
 while true; do
 	for i in /sys/kernel/tracing/per_cpu/*; do
 		timeout 0.1 cat $i/trace_pipe; sleep 0.2
 	done
 done

To fix the problem, make sure ring_buffer_resize() doesn't invoke
rb_check_pages() concurrently with a reader operating on the same
ring_buffer_per_cpu by taking its cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_lock.

<title>ring-buffer: Clean ring_buffer_poll_wait() error return</title>

commit 66bbea9ed6446b8471d365a22734dc00556c4785 upstream.

The return type for ring_buffer_poll_wait() is __poll_t. This is behind
the scenes an unsigned where we can set event bits. In case of a
non-allocated CPU, we do return instead -EINVAL (0xffffffea). Lucky us,
this ends up setting few error bits (EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP | EPOLLNVAL), so
user-space at least is aware something went wrong.

Nonetheless, this is an incorrect code. Replace that -EINVAL with a
proper EPOLLERR to clean that output. As this doesn't change the
behaviour, there's no need to treat this change as a bug fix.

[ Upstream commit 712292308af2265cd9b126aedfa987f10f452a33 ]

As the ring buffer recording requires cmpxchg() to work, if the
architecture does not support cmpxchg in NMI, then do not do any recording
within an NMI.

commit 17d801758157bec93f26faaf5ff1a8b9a552d67a upstream.

Reading the ring buffer does a swap of a sub-buffer within the ring buffer
with a empty sub-buffer. This allows the reader to have full access to the
content of the sub-buffer that was swapped out without having to worry
about contention with the writer.

The readers call ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() to allocate a page that
will be used to swap with the ring buffer. When the code is finished with
the reader page, it calls ring_buffer_free_read_page(). Instead of freeing
the page, it stores it as a spare. Then next call to
ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() will return this spare instead of calling
into the memory management system to allocate a new page.

Unfortunately, on freeing of the ring buffer, this spare page is not
freed, and causes a memory leak.

[ Upstream commit f6bd2c92488c30ef53b5bd80c52f0a7eee9d545a ]

When user resize all trace ring buffer through file 'buffer_size_kb',
then in ring_buffer_resize(), kernel allocates buffer pages for each
cpu in a loop.

If the kernel preemption model is PREEMPT_NONE and there are many cpus
and there are many buffer pages to be allocated, it may not give up cpu
for a long time and finally cause a softlockup.

To avoid it, call cond_resched() after each cpu buffer allocation.

[ Upstream commit 2d093282b0d4357373497f65db6a05eb0c28b7c8 ]

When pages are removed in rb_remove_pages(), 'cpu_buffer-&gt;read' is set
to 0 in order to make sure any read iterators reset themselves. However,
this will mess 'entries' stating, see following steps:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
  # 1. Enlarge ring buffer prepare for later reducing:
  # echo 20 &gt; per_cpu/cpu0/buffer_size_kb
  # 2. Write a log into ring buffer of cpu0:
  # taskset -c 0 echo "hello1" &gt; trace_marker
  # 3. Read the log:
  # cat per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe
       &lt;...&gt;-332     [000] .....    62.406844: tracing_mark_write: hello1
  # 4. Stop reading and see the stats, now 0 entries, and 1 event readed:
  # cat per_cpu/cpu0/stats
   entries: 0
   [...]
   read events: 1
  # 5. Reduce the ring buffer
  # echo 7 &gt; per_cpu/cpu0/buffer_size_kb
  # 6. Now entries became unexpected 1 because actually no entries!!!
  # cat per_cpu/cpu0/stats
   entries: 1
   [...]
   read events: 0

To fix it, introduce 'page_removed' field to count total removed pages
since last reset, then use it to let read iterators reset themselves
instead of changing the 'read' pointer.

Through the vmcore, I found it's because in tracing_read_pipe(),
ring_buffer_empty_cpu() found some buffer is not empty but then it
cannot read anything due to "rb_num_of_entries() == 0" always true,
Then it infinitely loop the procedure due to user buffer not been
filled, see following code path:

  tracing_read_pipe() {
    ... ...
    waitagain:
      tracing_wait_pipe() // 1. find non-empty buffer here
      trace_find_next_entry_inc()  // 2. loop here try to find an entry
        __find_next_entry()
          ring_buffer_empty_cpu();  // 3. find non-empty buffer
          peek_next_entry()  // 4. but peek always return NULL
            ring_buffer_peek()
              rb_buffer_peek()
                rb_get_reader_page()
                  // 5. because rb_num_of_entries() == 0 always true here
                  //    then return NULL
      // 6. user buffer not been filled so goto 'waitgain'
      //    and eventually leads to an deadloop in kernel!!!
  }

By some analyzing, I found that when resetting ringbuffer, the 'entries'
of its pages are not all cleared (see rb_reset_cpu()). Then when reducing
the ringbuffer, and if some reduced pages exist dirty 'entries' data, they
will be added into 'cpu_buffer-&gt;overrun' (see rb_remove_pages()), which
cause wrong 'overrun' count and eventually cause the deadloop issue.

To fix it, we need to clear every pages in rb_reset_cpu().

<title>treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage</title>

commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

commit 675751bb20634f981498c7d66161584080cc061e upstream.

If something was written to the buffer just before destruction,
it may be possible (maybe not in a real system, but it did
happen in ARCH=um with time-travel) to destroy the ringbuffer
before the IRQ work ran, leading this KASAN report (or a crash
without KASAN):

Add the appropriate irq_work_sync() so the work finishes before
the buffers are destroyed.

Prior to the commit in the Fixes tag below, there was only a
single global IRQ work, so this issue didn't exist.

<title>ring-buffer: Fix race while reader and writer are on the same page</title>

commit 6455b6163d8c680366663cdb8c679514d55fc30c upstream.

When user reads file 'trace_pipe', kernel keeps printing following logs
that warn at "cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page-&gt;read &gt; rb_page_size(reader)" in
rb_get_reader_page(). It just looks like there's an infinite loop in
tracing_read_pipe(). This problem occurs several times on arm64 platform
when testing v5.10 and below.

  Call trace:
   rb_get_reader_page+0x248/0x1300
   rb_buffer_peek+0x34/0x160
   ring_buffer_peek+0xbc/0x224
   peek_next_entry+0x98/0xbc
   __find_next_entry+0xc4/0x1c0
   trace_find_next_entry_inc+0x30/0x94
   tracing_read_pipe+0x198/0x304
   vfs_read+0xb4/0x1e0
   ksys_read+0x74/0x100
   __arm64_sys_read+0x24/0x30
   el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x7c/0x1bc
   do_el0_svc+0x2c/0x94
   el0_svc+0x20/0x30
   el0_sync_handler+0xb0/0xb4
   el0_sync+0x160/0x180

Then I dump the vmcore and look into the problematic per_cpu ring_buffer,
I found that tail_page/commit_page/reader_page are on the same page while
reader_page-&gt;read is obviously abnormal:
  tail_page == commit_page == reader_page == {
    .write = 0x100d20,
    .read = 0x8f9f4805,  // Far greater than 0xd20, obviously abnormal!!!
    .entries = 0x10004c,
    .real_end = 0x0,
    .page = {
      .time_stamp = 0x857257416af0,
      .commit = 0xd20,  // This page hasn't been full filled.
      // .data[0...0xd20] seems normal.
    }
 }

The root cause is most likely the race that reader and writer are on the
same page while reader saw an event that not fully committed by writer.

To fix this, add memory barriers to make sure the reader can see the
content of what is committed. Since commit a0fcaaed0c46 ("ring-buffer: Fix
race between reset page and reading page") has added the read barrier in
rb_get_reader_page(), here we just need to add the write barrier.
