commit 3e08a9f9760f4a70d633c328a76408e62d6f80a3 upstream.

We've suffered from severe kernel crashes due to memory corruption on
our production environment, like,

commit b220c049d519 ("tracing: Check length before giving out
the filter buffer") adds length check to protect trace data
overflow introduced in 0fc1b09ff1ff, seems that this fix can't prevent
overflow entirely, the length check should also take the sizeof
entry-&gt;array[0] into account, since this array[0] is filled the
length of trace data and occupy addtional space and risk overflow.

<title>tracing: Map all PIDs to command lines</title>

commit 785e3c0a3a870e72dc530856136ab4c8dd207128 upstream.

The default max PID is set by PID_MAX_DEFAULT, and the tracing
infrastructure uses this number to map PIDs to the comm names of the
tasks, such output of the trace can show names from the recorded PIDs in
the ring buffer. This mapping is also exported to user space via the
"saved_cmdlines" file in the tracefs directory.

But currently the mapping expects the PIDs to be less than
PID_MAX_DEFAULT, which is the default maximum and not the real maximum.
Recently, systemd will increases the maximum value of a PID on the system,
and when tasks are traced that have a PID higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT, its
comm is not recorded. This leads to the entire trace to have "&lt;...&gt;" as
the comm name, which is pretty useless.

Instead, keep the array mapping the size of PID_MAX_DEFAULT, but instead
of just mapping the index to the comm, map a mask of the PID
(PID_MAX_DEFAULT - 1) to the comm, and find the full PID from the
map_cmdline_to_pid array (that already exists).

This bug goes back to the beginning of ftrace, but hasn't been an issue
until user space started increasing the maximum value of PIDs.

<title>tracing: Fix stack trace event size</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 9deb193af69d3fd6dd8e47f292b67c805a787010 upstream.

Commit cbc3b92ce037 fixed an issue to modify the macros of the stack trace
event so that user space could parse it properly. Originally the stack
trace format to user space showed that the called stack was a dynamic
array. But it is not actually a dynamic array, in the way that other
dynamic event arrays worked, and this broke user space parsing for it. The
update was to make the array look to have 8 entries in it. Helper
functions were added to make it parse it correctly, as the stack was
dynamic, but was determined by the size of the event stored.

Although this fixed user space on how it read the event, it changed the
internal structure used for the stack trace event. It changed the array
size from [0] to [8] (added 8 entries). This increased the size of the
stack trace event by 8 words. The size reserved on the ring buffer was the
size of the stack trace event plus the number of stack entries found in
the stack trace. That commit caused the amount to be 8 more than what was
needed because it did not expect the caller field to have any size. This
produced 8 entries of garbage (and reading random data) from the stack
trace event:

          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] d... 1976396.837549: &lt;stack trace&gt;
 =&gt; trace_event_raw_event_sched_switch

 =&gt; 0x1f30affff93de
 =&gt; 0x00000004
 =&gt; 0x200000000

Instead, subtract the size of the caller field from the size of the event
to make sure that only the amount needed to store the stack trace is
reserved.

commit b220c049d5196dd94d992dd2dc8cba1a5e6123bf upstream.

When filters are used by trace events, a page is allocated on each CPU and
used to copy the trace event fields to this page before writing to the ring
buffer. The reason to use the filter and not write directly into the ring
buffer is because a filter may discard the event and there's more overhead
on discarding from the ring buffer than the extra copy.

The problem here is that there is no check against the size being allocated
when using this page. If an event asks for more than a page size while being
filtered, it will get only a page, leading to the caller writing more that
what was allocated.

Check the length of the request, and if it is more than PAGE_SIZE minus the
header default back to allocating from the ring buffer directly. The ring
buffer may reject the event if its too big anyway, but it wont overflow.

commit 60efe21e5976d3d4170a8190ca76a271d6419754 upstream.

Disable ftrace selftests when any tracer (kernel command line options
like ftrace=, trace_events=, kprobe_events=, and boot-time tracing)
starts running because selftest can disturb it.

Currently ftrace= and trace_events= are checked, but kprobe_events
has a different flag, and boot-time tracing didn't checked. This unifies
the disabled flag and all of those boot-time tracing features sets
the flag.

This also fixes warnings on kprobe-event selftest
(CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST=y and CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y) with boot-time
tracing (ftrace.event.kprobes.EVENT.probes) like below;

When the instances were able to use their own options, the userstacktrace
option was left hardcoded for the top level. This made the instance
userstacktrace option bascially into a nop, and will confuse users that set
it, but nothing happens (I was confused when it happened to me!)

<title>tracing: Fix alignment of static buffer</title>

With 5.9 kernel on ARM64, I found ftrace_dump output was broken but
it had no problem with normal output "cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace".

With investigation, it seems coping the data into temporal buffer seems to
break the align binary printf expects if the static buffer is not aligned
with 4-byte. IIUC, get_arg in bstr_printf expects that args has already
right align to be decoded and seq_buf_bprintf says ``the arguments are saved
in a 32bit word array that is defined by the format string constraints``.
So if we don't keep the align under copy to temporal buffer, the output
will be broken by shifting some bytes.

This patch fixes it.

The nesting count of trace_printk allows for 4 levels of nesting. The
nesting counter starts at zero and is incremented before being used to
retrieve the current context's buffer. But the index to the buffer uses the
nesting counter after it was incremented, and not its original number,
which in needs to do.

The nesting count of trace_printk allows for 4 levels of nesting. The
nesting counter starts at zero and is incremented before being used to
retrieve the current context's buffer. But the index to the buffer uses the
nesting counter after it was incremented, and not its original number,
which in needs to do.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Updates for tracing and bootconfig:

   - Add support for "bool" type in synthetic events

   - Add per instance tracing for bootconfig

   - Support perf-style return probe ("SYMBOL%return") in kprobes and
     uprobes

   - Allow for kprobes to be enabled earlier in boot up

   - Added tracepoint helper function to allow testing if tracepoints
     are enabled in headers

   - Synthetic events can now have dynamic strings (variable length)

   - Various fixes and cleanups"
