tracing: Free buffers when a used dynamic event is removed

2022-11-24T00:07:12+00:00

After 65536 dynamic events have been added and removed, the "type" field
of the event then uses the first type number that is available (not
currently used by other events). A type number is the identifier of the
binary blobs in the tracing ring buffer (known as events) to map them to
logic that can parse the binary blob.

The issue is that if a dynamic event (like a kprobe event) is traced and
is in the ring buffer, and then that event is removed (because it is
dynamic, which means it can be created and destroyed), if another dynamic
event is created that has the same number that new event's logic on
parsing the binary blob will be used.

To show how this can be an issue, the following can crash the kernel:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # for i in `seq 65536`; do
     echo 'p:kprobes/foo do_sys_openat2 $arg1:u32' > kprobe_events
 # done

For every iteration of the above, the writing to the kprobe_events will
remove the old event and create a new one (with the same format) and
increase the type number to the next available on until the type number
reaches over 65535 which is the max number for the 16 bit type. After it
reaches that number, the logic to allocate a new number simply looks for
the next available number. When an dynamic event is removed, that number
is then available to be reused by the next dynamic event created. That is,
once the above reaches the max number, the number assigned to the event in
that loop will remain the same.

Now that means deleting one dynamic event and created another will reuse
the previous events type number. This is where bad things can happen.
After the above loop finishes, the kprobes/foo event which reads the
do_sys_openat2 function call's first parameter as an integer.

 # echo 1 > kprobes/foo/enable
 # cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
 # cat trace
             cat-2211    [005] ....  2007.849603: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196
             cat-2211    [005] ....  2007.849620: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196
             cat-2211    [005] ....  2007.849838: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196
             cat-2211    [005] ....  2007.849880: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196
 # echo 0 > kprobes/foo/enable

Now if we delete the kprobe and create a new one that reads a string:

 # echo 'p:kprobes/foo do_sys_openat2 +0($arg2):string' > kprobe_events

And now we can the trace:

 # cat trace
        sendmail-1942    [002] .....   530.136320: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x240) arg1=             cat-2046    [004] .....   530.930817: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x240) arg1="������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������"

 ==================================================================

This was found when Zheng Yejian sent a patch to convert the event type
number assignment to use IDA, which gives the next available number, and
this bug showed up in the fuzz testing by Yujie Liu and the kernel test
robot. But after further analysis, I found that this behavior is the same
as when the event type numbers go past the 16bit max (and the above shows
that).

As modules have a similar issue, but is dealt with by setting a
"WAS_ENABLED" flag when a module event is enabled, and when the module is
freed, if any of its events were enabled, the ring buffer that holds that
event is also cleared, to prevent reading stale events. The same can be
done for dynamic events.

If any dynamic event that is being removed was enabled, then make sure the
buffers they were enabled in are now cleared.

tracing: Add tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() function

2022-11-24T00:06:11+00:00

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.

Make filtering consistent with histograms. As "cpu" can be a field of an

     without initram disks.

   - Speed up boot by parallelizing the creation of tracefs files.

   - Allow absolute ring buffer timestamps handle timestamps that use

sched/tracing: Append prev_state to tp args instead

2022-05-11T22:37:11+00:00

Commit fa2c3254d7cf (sched/tracing: Don't re-read p->state when emitting
sched_switch event, 2022-01-20) added a new prev_state argument to the
sched_switch tracepoint, before the prev task_struct pointer.

This reordering of arguments broke BPF programs that use the raw
tracepoint (e.g. tp_btf programs). The type of the second argument has
changed and existing programs that assume a task_struct* argument
(e.g. for bpf_task_storage access) will now fail to verify.

If we instead append the new argument to the end, all existing programs
would continue to work and can conditionally extract the prev_state
argument on supported kernel versions.

tracing: Remove check of list iterator against head past the loop body

2022-04-27T21:19:31+00:00

When list_for_each_entry() completes the iteration over the whole list
without breaking the loop, the iterator value will be a bogus pointer
computed based on the head element.

While it is safe to use the pointer to determine if it was computed
based on the head element, either with list_entry_is_head() or
&pos->member == head, using the iterator variable after the loop should
be avoided.

In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element [1].

2022-03-23T18:40:25+00:00

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

- New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the
kernel describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a
byte in a page mapping that it can check against. A privileged task
can then enable that event like any other event, which will change
the mapped byte to true, telling the user space application to start
writing the event to the tracing buffer.

- Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When
set, the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot
up when the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep
the traces that happened at boot up available even if user space boot
up has tracing as well.

- Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type
descriptions. Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum,
the user space trace event parsers can still know how to parse that
array.

- Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the
TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This
will make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not
be stuck at only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports.

- Fixes to tracing error logging.

- Better saving of cmdlines to PIDs when tracing (use the wakeup events
for mapping).
