[ Upstream commit f5ca233e2e66dc1c249bf07eefa37e34a6c9346a ]

When the trace event enable and filter files are opened, increment the
trace array ref counter, otherwise they can be accessed when the trace
array is being deleted. The ref counter keeps the trace array from being
deleted while those files are opened.

[ Upstream commit 2972e3050e3517a85ca1813b227d4c302e804343 ]

The tracing marker files are write-only streams with no meaningful
concept of file position.  Using stream_open() to mark them as
stream-link indicates this and has the added advantage that a single
file descriptor can now be used from multiple threads without contention
thanks to clearing FMODE_ATOMIC_POS.

Note that this has the potential to break existing userspace by since
both lseek(2) and pwrite(2) will now return ESPIPE when previously lseek
would have updated the stored offset and pwrite would have appended to
the trace.  A survey of libtracefs and several other projects found to
use trace_marker(_raw) [1][2][3] suggests that everyone limits
themselves to calling write(2) and close(2) on these file descriptors so
there is a good chance this will go unnoticed and the benefits of
reduced overhead and lock contention seem worth the risk.

commit 7e2cfbd2d3c86afcd5c26b5c4b1dd251f63c5838 upstream.

The option files update the options for a given trace array. For an
instance, if the file is opened and the instance is deleted, reading or
writing to the file will cause a use after free.

Up the ref count of the trace_array when an option file is opened.

commit 3d07fa1dd19035eb0b13ae6697efd5caa9033e74 upstream.

The pipe cpumask used to serialize opens between the main and percpu
trace pipes is not zeroed or initialized. This can result in
spurious -EBUSY returns if underlying memory is not fully zeroed.
This has been observed by immediate failure to read the main
trace_pipe file on an otherwise newly booted and idle system:

 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
 cat: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe: Device or resource busy

Zero the allocation of pipe_cpumask to avoid the problem.

                                 // 2. cpu_buffer has swapped here.

      rb_start_commit(cpu_buffer);
      if (unlikely(READ_ONCE(cpu_buffer-&gt;buffer)
          != buffer)) { // 3. This check passed due to 'cpu_buffer-&gt;buffer'

                                 cpu_buffer_a-&gt;buffer = buffer_b;
                                 [...]

    rb_commit(cpu_buffer)
      rb_end_commit()  // 6. WARN for the wrong 'committing' state !!!

Based on above analysis, we can easily reproduce by following testcase:
  ``` bash
  #!/bin/bash

  dmesg -n 7
  sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_warn=1
  TR=/sys/kernel/tracing
  echo 7 &gt; ${TR}/buffer_size_kb
  echo "sched:sched_switch" &gt; ${TR}/set_event
  while [ true ]; do
          echo 1 &gt; ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
  done &amp;
  while [ true ]; do
          echo 1 &gt; ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
  done &amp;
  while [ true ]; do
          echo 1 &gt; ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
  done &amp;
  ```

To fix it, IIUC, we can use smp_call_function_single() to do the swap on
the target cpu where the buffer is located, so that above race would be
avoided.

<title>tracing: Introduce pipe_cpumask to avoid race on trace_pipes</title>

[ Upstream commit c2489bb7e6be2e8cdced12c16c42fa128403ac03 ]

There is race issue when concurrently splice_read main trace_pipe and
per_cpu trace_pipes which will result in data read out being different
from what actually writen.

As suggested by Steven:
  &gt; I believe we should add a ref count to trace_pipe and the per_cpu
  &gt; trace_pipes, where if they are opened, nothing else can read it.
  &gt;
  &gt; Opening trace_pipe locks all per_cpu ref counts, if any of them are
  &gt; open, then the trace_pipe open will fail (and releases any ref counts
  &gt; it had taken).
  &gt;
  &gt; Opening a per_cpu trace_pipe will up the ref count for just that
  &gt; CPU buffer. This will allow multiple tasks to read different per_cpu
  &gt; trace_pipe files, but will prevent the main trace_pipe file from
  &gt; being opened.

But because we only need to know whether per_cpu trace_pipe is open or
not, using a cpumask instead of using ref count may be easier.

After this patch, users will find that:
 - Main trace_pipe can be opened by only one user, and if it is
   opened, all per_cpu trace_pipes cannot be opened;
 - Per_cpu trace_pipes can be opened by multiple users, but each per_cpu
   trace_pipe can only be opened by one user. And if one of them is
   opened, main trace_pipe cannot be opened.

The root cause is descripted as follows:

  __tracing_open() {  // 1. File 'trace' is being opened;
    ...
    *iter-&gt;trace = *tr-&gt;current_trace;  // 2. Tracer 'function_graph' is
                                        //    currently set;
    ...
    iter-&gt;trace-&gt;open(iter);  // 3. Call graph_trace_open() here,
                              //    and memory are allocated in it;
    ...
  }

  s_start() {  // 4. The opened file is being read;
    ...
    *iter-&gt;trace = *tr-&gt;current_trace;  // 5. If tracer is switched to
                                        //    'nop' or others, then memory
                                        //    in step 3 are leaked!!!
    ...
  }

To fix it, in s_start(), close tracer before switching then reopen the
new tracer after switching. And some tracers like 'wakeup' may not update
'iter-&gt;private' in some cases when reopen, then it should be cleared
to avoid being mistakenly closed again.

  # echo 1 &gt; tracing_on
  # echo "hello world" &gt; trace_marker
  -bash: echo: write error: Bad file descriptor

The root cause is that:
  1. After `echo 0 &gt; tracing_cpumask`, 'record_disabled' of cpu buffers
     in 'tr-&gt;array_buffer.buffer' became 1 (see tracing_set_cpumask());
  2. After `echo 1 &gt; snapshot`, 'tr-&gt;array_buffer.buffer' is swapped
     with 'tr-&gt;max_buffer.buffer', then the 'record_disabled' became 0
     (see update_max_tr());
  3. After `echo fff &gt; tracing_cpumask`, the 'record_disabled' become -1;
Then array_buffer and max_buffer are both unavailable due to value of
'record_disabled' is not 0.

To fix it, enable or disable both array_buffer and max_buffer at the same
time in tracing_set_cpumask().

[ Upstream commit b71645d6af10196c46cbe3732de2ea7d36b3ff6d ]

Trace ring buffer can no longer record anything after executing
following commands at the shell prompt:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
  # cat tracing_cpumask
  fff
  # echo 0 &gt; tracing_cpumask
  # echo 1 &gt; snapshot
  # echo fff &gt; tracing_cpumask
  # echo 1 &gt; tracing_on
  # echo "hello world" &gt; trace_marker
  -bash: echo: write error: Bad file descriptor

The root cause is that:
  1. After `echo 0 &gt; tracing_cpumask`, 'record_disabled' of cpu buffers
     in 'tr-&gt;array_buffer.buffer' became 1 (see tracing_set_cpumask());
