[ 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.

Soft lockup occurs when reading file 'trace_pipe':

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().

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - User events are finally ready!

   After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally
   locked down on a stable interface for user events that can also work
   with user space only tracing.

   This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user space library, but
   that part is user space only and not part of this patch set), where
   the variable is that the application uses to know if something is
   listening to the trace.

   There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events,
   which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/
   directory, where it can be enabled.

   When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the
   application to start writing to the kernel.

   See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/

 - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of
   direct trampolines.

   Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to
   the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their
   own trampoline for performance reasons.

 - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient
   than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that
   kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes
   will be exposed as dynamic events.

 - More updates to references to the obsolete path of
   /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path.

 - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer
   line by line instead of all at once.

   There are users in production kernels that have a large data dump
   that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger
   than what printk() allowed as a single print.

   Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that.

 - Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions
   that was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used
   for debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a
   crash by a bpf program or live patching.

 - Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields
   of the events. It's easier to read by humans.

 - Some minor fixes and clean ups.

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):

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):

<title>ring-buffer: Ensure proper resetting of atomic variables in ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus</title>

<content type='text'>
In ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus, the buffer_size_kb write operation
may permanently fail if the cpu_online_mask changes between two
for_each_online_buffer_cpu loops. The number of increases and decreases
on both cpu_buffer-&gt;resize_disabled and cpu_buffer-&gt;record_disabled may be
inconsistent, causing some CPUs to have non-zero values for these atomic
variables after the function returns.

This issue can be reproduced by "echo 0 &gt; trace" while hotplugging cpu.
After reproducing success, we can find out buffer_size_kb will not be
functional anymore.

To prevent leaving 'resize_disabled' and 'record_disabled' non-zero after
ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus returns, we ensure that each atomic variable
has been set up before atomic_sub() to it.

<title>ring-buffer: Clearly check null ptr returned by rb_set_head_page()</title>

In error case, 'buffer_page' returned by rb_set_head_page() is NULL,
currently check '&amp;buffer_page-&gt;list' is equivalent to check 'buffer_page'
due to 'list' is the first member of 'buffer_page', but suppose it is not
some time, 'head_page' would be wild memory while check would be bypassed.

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

<id>6455b6163d8c680366663cdb8c679514d55fc30c</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>ring_buffer: Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg</title>

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old.
x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change
saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in
front of cmpxchg).

Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg
fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.

No functional change intended.
