tracing: Have trace_event_file have ref counters

2023-11-28T16:50:22+00:00

commit bb32500fb9b78215e4ef6ee8b4345c5f5d7eafb4 upstream.

The following can crash the kernel:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # echo 'p:sched schedule' > kprobe_events
 # exec 5>>events/kprobes/sched/enable
 # > kprobe_events
 # exec 5>&-

The above commands:

 1. Change directory to the tracefs directory
 2. Create a kprobe event (doesn't matter what one)
 3. Open bash file descriptor 5 on the enable file of the kprobe event
 4. Delete the kprobe event (removes the files too)
 5. Close the bash file descriptor 5

The above causes a crash!

 RIP: 0010:tracing_release_file_tr+0xc/0x50

What happens here is that the kprobe event creates a trace_event_file
"file" descriptor that represents the file in tracefs to the event. It
maintains state of the event (is it enabled for the given instance?).
Opening the "enable" file gets a reference to the event "file" descriptor
via the open file descriptor. When the kprobe event is deleted, the file is
also deleted from the tracefs system which also frees the event "file"
descriptor.

But as the tracefs file is still opened by user space, it will not be
totally removed until the final dput() is called on it. But this is not
true with the event "file" descriptor that is already freed. If the user
does a write to or simply closes the file descriptor it will reference the
event "file" descriptor that was just freed, causing a use-after-free bug.

To solve this, add a ref count to the event "file" descriptor as well as a
new flag called "FREED". The "file" will not be freed until the last
reference is released. But the FREE flag will be set when the event is
removed to prevent any more modifications to that event from happening,
even if there's still a reference to the event "file" descriptor.

tracing: Increase trace array ref count on enable and filter files

2023-10-10T19:46:35+00:00

[ 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.

tracing: Have option files inc the trace array ref count

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.

tracing: Fix race issue between cpu buffer write and swap

It is because the race between writing event into cpu buffer and swapping

    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 > ${TR}/buffer_size_kb
  echo "sched:sched_switch" > ${TR}/set_event
  while [ true ]; do
          echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
  done &
  while [ true ]; do
          echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
  done &
  while [ true ]; do
          echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
  done &
  ```

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.

The root cause is descripted as follows:

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

  s_start() {  // 4. The opened file is being read;
    ...
    *iter->trace = *tr->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->private' in some cases when reopen, then it should be cleared
to avoid being mistakenly closed again.

ftrace: Add information on number of page groups allocated

Looking for ways to shrink the size of the dyn_ftrace structure, knowing the
information about how many pages and the number of groups of those pages, is
useful in working out the best ways to save on memory.

This adds one info print on how many groups of pages were used to allocate
the ftrace dyn_ftrace structures, and also shows the number of pages and
groups in the dyn_ftrace_total_info (which is used for debugging).

tracing: Fix null pointer dereference in tracing_err_log_open()

commit 02b0095e2fbbc060560c1065f86a211d91e27b26 upstream.

Fix an issue in function 'tracing_err_log_open'.
The function doesn't call 'seq_open' if the file is opened only with
write permissions, which results in 'file->private_data' being left as null.
If we then use 'lseek' on that opened file, 'seq_lseek' dereferences
'file->private_data' in 'mutex_lock(&m->lock)', resulting in a kernel panic.
Writing to this node requires root privileges, therefore this bug
has very little security impact.

tracing: Add tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() function

2023-06-28T08:18:35+00:00

commit e18eb8783ec4949adebc7d7b0fdb65f65bfeefd9 upstream.

Currently the tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() requires the
trace_types_lock held. But only one caller of this function actually has
that lock held before calling it, and the other just takes the lock so
that it can call it. More users of this function is needed where the lock
is not held.

Add a tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() function for the one use
case that calls it without being held, and also add a lockdep_assert to
make sure it is held when called.

Then have tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() take the lock internally, such
that callers do not need to worry about taking it.

The problem is that the error log needs to be freed when the instance is
removed.
