tracing: Fix memleak due to race between current_tracer and trace

2023-08-30T12:52:29+00:00

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.

tracing: Fix cpu buffers unavailable due to 'record_disabled' missed

2023-08-30T12:52:28+00:00

[ 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 > tracing_cpumask
  # echo 1 > snapshot
  # echo fff > tracing_cpumask
  # echo 1 > tracing_on
  # echo "hello world" > trace_marker
  -bash: echo: write error: Bad file descriptor

The root cause is that:
  1. After `echo 0 > tracing_cpumask`, 'record_disabled' of cpu buffers
     in 'tr->array_buffer.buffer' became 1 (see tracing_set_cpumask());
  2. After `echo 1 > snapshot`, 'tr->array_buffer.buffer' is swapped
     with 'tr->max_buffer.buffer', then the 'record_disabled' became 0
     (see update_max_tr());
  3. After `echo fff > 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().

ring-buffer: Do not swap cpu_buffer during resize process

2023-08-23T15:32:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8a96c0288d0737ad77882024974c075345c72011 ]

When ring_buffer_swap_cpu was called during resize process,
the cpu buffer was swapped in the middle, resulting in incorrect state.
Continuing to run in the wrong state will result in oops.

This issue can be easily reproduced using the following two scripts:
/tmp # cat test1.sh
//#! /bin/sh
for i in `seq 0 100000`
do
         echo 2000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb
         sleep 0.5
         echo 5000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb
         sleep 0.5
done
/tmp # cat test2.sh
//#! /bin/sh
for i in `seq 0 100000`
do
        echo irqsoff > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
        sleep 1
        echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
        sleep 1
done
/tmp # ./test1.sh &
/tmp # ./test2.sh &

A typical oops log is as follows, sometimes with other different oops logs.

tracing: Fix null pointer dereference in tracing_err_log_open()

2023-07-23T11:54:12+00:00

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.

Tracefs node: /sys/kernel/tracing/error_log

tracing: Only make selftest conditionals affect the global_trace

2023-05-29T01:15:33+00:00

The tracing_selftest_running and tracing_selftest_disabled variables were
to keep trace_printk() and other writes from affecting the tracing
selftests, as the tracing selftests would examine the ring buffer to see
if it contained what it expected or not. trace_printk() and friends could
add to the ring buffer and cause the selftests to fail (and then disable
the tracer that was being tested). To keep that from happening, these
variables were added and would keep trace_printk() and friends from
writing to the ring buffer while the tests were going on.

But this was only the top level ring buffer (owned by the global_trace
instance). There is no reason to prevent writing into ring buffers of
other instances via the trace_array_printk() and friends. For the
functions that could be used by other instances, check if the global_trace
is the tracer instance that is being written to before deciding to not
allow the write.

tracing: Make tracing_selftest_running/delete nops when not used

2023-05-29T01:15:26+00:00

There's no reason to test the condition variables tracing_selftest_running
or tracing_selftest_delete when tracing selftests are not enabled. Make
them define 0s when not the selftests are not configured in.

tracing: Have tracer selftests call cond_resched() before running

2023-05-29T01:15:17+00:00

As there are more and more internal selftests being added to the Linux
kernel (KSAN, lockdep, etc) the selftests are taking longer to run when
these are enabled. Add a cond_resched() to the calling of
do_run_tracer_selftest() to force a schedule if NEED_RESCHED is set,
otherwise the soft lockup watchdog may trigger on boot up.

tracing: Move setting of tracing_selftest_running out of register_tracer()

2023-05-29T01:15:04+00:00

The variables tracing_selftest_running and tracing_selftest_disabled are
only used for when CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST is enabled. Make them only
visible within the selftest code. The setting of those variables are in
the register_tracer() call, and set in a location where they do not need
to be. Create a wrapper around run_tracer_selftest() called
do_run_tracer_selftest() which sets those variables, and have
register_tracer() call that instead.

Having those variables only set within the CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST
scope gets rid of them (and also the ability to remove testing against
them) when the startup tests are not enabled (most cases).

tracing: Rename stacktrace field to common_stacktrace

2023-05-24T03:38:23+00:00

The histogram and synthetic events can use a pseudo event called
"stacktrace" that will create a stacktrace at the time of the event and
use it just like it was a normal field. We have other pseudo events such
as "common_cpu" and "common_timestamp". To stay consistent with that,
convert "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". As this was used in older
kernels, to keep backward compatibility, this will act just like
"common_cpu" did with "cpu". That is, "cpu" will be the same as
"common_cpu" unless the event has a "cpu" field. In which case, the
event's field is used. The same is true with "stacktrace".

Also update the documentation to reflect this change.
