hist_field_name() returns "" everywhere except the fully-qualified
VAR_REF/EXPR case, where snprintf() truncation returns NULL early
and bypasses the bottom NULL->"" guard. Callers don't expect NULL:
strcat(expr, hist_field_name(field, 0)) at trace_events_hist.c:1758
and the strcmp() in the sort-key match loop at :4804 both deref it.

system and event_name are bounded by MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN, but the
field name on a VAR_REF is kstrdup'd from a histogram variable
name parsed out of the trigger string and has no length cap, so
a long enough var name in a fully qualified reference can reach
the truncation path.

Keep the length check but leave field_name as "" on overflow.

[ Upstream commit 00cf3d672a9dd409418647e9f98784c339c3ff63 ]

Allow a stacktrace from one event to be displayed by the end event of a
synthetic event. This is very useful when looking for the longest latency
of a sleep or something blocked on I/O.

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
 # echo 's:block_lat pid_t pid; u64 delta; unsigned long[] stack;' > dynamic_events
 # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:ts=common_timestamp.usecs,st=stacktrace  if prev_state == 1||prev_state == 2' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
 # echo 'hist:keys=prev_pid:delta=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts,s=$st:onmax($delta).trace(block_lat,prev_pid,$delta,$s)' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger

The above creates a "block_lat" synthetic event that take the stacktrace of
when a task schedules out in either the interruptible or uninterruptible
states, and on a new per process max $delta (the time it was scheduled
out), will print the process id and the stacktrace.

tracing/histograms: Add histograms to hist_vars if they have referenced variables 2023-07-23T11:47:55+00:00 Mohamed Khalfella mkhalfella@purestorage.com 2023-07-12T22:30:21+00:00 97f54b330c797ed27fba8791baeaa38ace886cbd commit 6018b585e8c6fa7d85d4b38d9ce49a5b67be7078 upstream. Hist triggers can have referenced variables without having direct variables fields. This can be the case if referenced variables are added for trigger actions. In this case the newly added references will not have field variables. Not taking such referenced variables into consideration can result in a bug where it would be possible to remove hist trigger with variables being refenced. This will result in a bug that is easily reproducable like so $ cd /sys/kernel/tracing $ echo 'synthetic_sys_enter char[] comm; long id' >> synthetic_events $ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger $ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:onmatch(raw_syscalls.sys_enter).synthetic_sys_enter($comm, id)' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger $ echo '!hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger [ 100.263533] ================================================================== [ 100.264634] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in resolve_var_refs+0xc7/0x180 [ 100.265520] Read of size 8 at addr ffff88810375d0f0 by task bash/439 [ 100.266320] [ 100.266533] CPU: 2 PID: 439 Comm: bash Not tainted 6.5.0-rc1 #4 [ 100.267277] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.0-20220807_005459-localhost 04/01/2014 [ 100.268561] Call Trace: [ 100.268902] <TASK> [ 100.269189] dump_stack_lvl+0x4c/0x70 [ 100.269680] print_report+0xc5/0x600 [ 100.270165] ? resolve_var_refs+0xc7/0x180 [ 100.270697] ? kasan_complete_mode_report_info+0x80/0x1f0 [ 100.271389] ? resolve_var_refs+0xc7/0x180 [ 100.271913] kasan_report+0xbd/0x100 [ 100.272380] ? resolve_var_refs+0xc7/0x180 [ 100.272920] __asan_load8+0x71/0xa0 [ 100.273377] resolve_var_refs+0xc7/0x180 [ 100.273888] event_hist_trigger+0x749/0x860 [ 100.274505] ? kasan_save_stack+0x2a/0x50 [ 100.275024] ? kasan_set_track+0x29/0x40 [ 100.275536] ? __pfx_event_hist_trigger+0x10/0x10 [ 100.276138] ? ksys_write+0xd1/0x170 [ 100.276607] ? do_syscall_64+0x3c/0x90 [ 100.277099] ? entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0xd8 [ 100.277771] ? destroy_hist_data+0x446/0x470 [ 100.278324] ? event_hist_trigger_parse+0xa6c/0x3860 [ 100.278962] ? __pfx_event_hist_trigger_parse+0x10/0x10 [ 100.279627] ? __kasan_check_write+0x18/0x20 [ 100.280177] ? mutex_unlock+0x85/0xd0 [ 100.280660] ? __pfx_mutex_unlock+0x10/0x10 [ 100.281200] ? kfree+0x7b/0x120 [ 100.281619] ? ____kasan_slab_free+0x15d/0x1d0 [ 100.282197] ? event_trigger_write+0xac/0x100 [ 100.282764] ? __kasan_slab_free+0x16/0x20 [ 100.283293] ? __kmem_cache_free+0x153/0x2f0 [ 100.283844] ? sched_mm_cid_remote_clear+0xb1/0x250 [ 100.284550] ? __pfx_sched_mm_cid_remote_clear+0x10/0x10 [ 100.285221] ? event_trigger_write+0xbc/0x100 [ 100.285781] ? __kasan_check_read+0x15/0x20 [ 100.286321] ? __bitmap_weight+0x66/0xa0 [ 100.286833] ? _find_next_bit+0x46/0xe0 [ 100.287334] ? task_mm_cid_work+0x37f/0x450 [ 100.287872] event_triggers_call+0x84/0x150 [ 100.288408] trace_event_buffer_commit+0x339/0x430 [ 100.289073] ? ring_buffer_event_data+0x3f/0x60 [ 100.292189] trace_event_raw_event_sys_enter+0x8b/0xe0 [ 100.295434] syscall_trace_enter.constprop.0+0x18f/0x1b0 [ 100.298653] syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0x32/0x40 [ 100.301808] do_syscall_64+0x1a/0x90 [ 100.304748] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0xd8 [ 100.307775] RIP: 0033:0x7f686c75c1cb [ 100.310617] Code: 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d 65 3c 10 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 83 c8 ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 90 f3 0f 1e fa b8 21 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d 35 3c 10 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 [ 100.317847] RSP: 002b:00007ffc60137a38 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000021 [ 100.321200] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 000055f566469ea0 RCX: 00007f686c75c1cb [ 100.324631] RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000001 RDI: 000000000000000a [ 100.328104] RBP: 00007ffc60137ac0 R08: 00007f686c818460 R09: 000000000000000a [ 100.331509] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000009 [ 100.334992] R13: 0000000000000007 R14: 000000000000000a R15: 0000000000000007 [ 100.338381] </TASK> We hit the bug because when second hist trigger has was created has_hist_vars() returned false because hist trigger did not have variables.

We hit the bug because when second hist trigger has was created
has_hist_vars() returned false because hist trigger did not have
variables. As a result of that save_hist_vars() was not called to add
the trigger to trace_array->hist_vars. Later on when we attempted to
remove the first histogram find_any_var_ref() failed to detect it is
being used because it did not find the second trigger in hist_vars list.

With this change we wait until trigger actions are created so we can take
into consideration if hist trigger has variable references. Also, now we
check the return value of save_hist_vars() and fail trigger creation if
save_hist_vars() fails.
