commit 90e406f96f630c07d631a021fd4af10aac913e77 upstream.

The default NR_CPUS can be very large, but actual possible nr_cpu_ids
usually is very small. For my x86 distribution, the NR_CPUS is 8192 and
nr_cpu_ids is 4. About 2 pages are wasted.

Most machines don't have so many CPUs, so define a array with NR_CPUS
just wastes memory. So let's allocate the buffer dynamically when need.

With this change, the mutext tracing_cpumask_update_lock also can be
removed now, which was used to protect mask_str.

commit 8dd33bcb7050dd6f8c1432732f930932c9d3a33e upstream.

One convenient way to erase trace is "echo &gt; trace". However, this
is currently broken if the current tracer is irqsoff tracer. This
is because irqsoff tracer use max_buffer as the default trace
buffer.

Set the max_buffer as the one to be cleared when it's the trace
buffer currently in use.

<title>tracing: Fix trace_pipe behavior for instance traces</title>

commit 75df6e688ccd517e339a7c422ef7ad73045b18a2 upstream.

When reading data from trace_pipe, tracing_wait_pipe() performs a
check to see if tracing has been turned off after some data was read.
Currently, this check always looks at global trace state, but it
should be checking the trace instance where trace_pipe is located at.

Because of this bug, cat instances/i1/trace_pipe in the following
script will immediately exit instead of waiting for data:

cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo 0 &gt; tracing_on
mkdir -p instances/i1
echo 1 &gt; instances/i1/tracing_on
echo 1 &gt; instances/i1/events/sched/sched_process_exec/enable
cat instances/i1/trace_pipe

commit 170b3b1050e28d1ba0700e262f0899ffa4fccc52 upstream.

Currently trace_clock timestamps are applied to both regular and max
buffers only for global trace. For instance trace, trace_clock
timestamps are applied only to regular buffer. But, regular and max
buffers can be swapped, for example, following a snapshot. So, for
instance trace, bad timestamps can be seen following a snapshot.
Let's apply trace_clock timestamps to instance max buffer as well.

<title>tracing: Add barrier to trace_printk() buffer nesting modification</title>

commit 3d9622c12c8873911f4cc0ccdabd0362c2fca06b upstream.

trace_printk() uses 4 buffers, one for each context (normal, softirq, irq
and NMI), such that it does not need to worry about one context preempting
the other. There's a nesting counter that gets incremented to figure out
which buffer to use. If the context gets preempted by another context which
calls trace_printk() it will increment the counter and use the next buffer,
and restore the counter when it is finished.

The problem is that gcc may optimize the modification of the buffer nesting
counter and it may not be incremented in memory before the buffer is used.
If this happens, and the context gets interrupted by another context, it
could pick the same buffer and corrupt the one that is being used.

Compiler barriers need to be added after the nesting variable is incremented
and before it is decremented to prevent usage of the context buffers by more
than one context at the same time.

<title>tracing: Call clear_boot_tracer() at lateinit_sync</title>

commit 4bb0f0e73c8c30917d169c4a0f1ac083690c545b upstream.

The clear_boot_tracer function is used to reset the default_bootup_tracer
string to prevent it from being accessed after boot, as it originally points
to init data. But since clear_boot_tracer() is called via the
init_lateinit() call, it races with the initcall for registering the hwlat
tracer. If someone adds "ftrace=hwlat" to the kernel command line, depending
on how the linker sets up the text, the saved command line may be cleared,
and the hwlat tracer never is initialized.

Simply have the clear_boot_tracer() be called by initcall_lateinit_sync() as
that's for tasks to be called after lateinit.

commit c59f29cb144a6a0dfac16ede9dc8eafc02dc56ca upstream.

The 's' flag is supposed to indicate that a softirq is running. This
can be detected by testing the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_OFFSET.

The current code tests the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_MASK, which
would be true even when softirqs are disabled but not serving a
softirq.

commit c59f29cb144a6a0dfac16ede9dc8eafc02dc56ca upstream.

The 's' flag is supposed to indicate that a softirq is running. This
can be detected by testing the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_OFFSET.

The current code tests the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_MASK, which
would be true even when softirqs are disabled but not serving a
softirq.

<title>tracing: Allocate the snapshot buffer before enabling probe</title>

commit df62db5be2e5f070ecd1a5ece5945b590ee112e0 upstream.

Currently the snapshot trigger enables the probe and then allocates the
snapshot. If the probe triggers before the allocation, it could cause the
snapshot to fail and turn tracing off. It's best to allocate the snapshot
buffer first, and then enable the trigger. If something goes wrong in the
enabling of the trigger, the snapshot buffer is still allocated, but it can
also be freed by the user by writting zero into the snapshot buffer file.

Also add a check of the return status of alloc_snapshot().

<title>ftrace: Fix function pid filter on instances</title>

commit d879d0b8c183aabeb9a65eba91f3f9e3c7e7b905 upstream.

When function tracer has a pid filter, it adds a probe to sched_switch
to track if current task can be ignored.  The probe checks the
ftrace_ignore_pid from current tr to filter tasks.  But it misses to
delete the probe when removing an instance so that it can cause a crash
due to the invalid tr pointer (use-after-free).

This is easily reproducible with the following:

  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  # mkdir instances/buggy
  # echo $$ &gt; instances/buggy/set_ftrace_pid
  # rmdir instances/buggy

  ============================================================================
  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90
  Read of size 8 by task kworker/0:1/17
  CPU: 0 PID: 17 Comm: kworker/0:1 Tainted: G    B           4.11.0-rc3  #198

   ...

To fix it, use ftrace_clear_pids() to unregister the probe.  As
instance_rmdir() already updated ftrace codes, it can just free the
filter safely.
