commit 9f116f76fa8c04c81aef33ad870dbf9a158e5b70 upstream.

The function hist_field_name() cannot handle being passed a NULL field
parameter. It should never be NULL, but due to a previous bug, NULL was
passed to the function and the kernel crashed due to a NULL dereference.
Mark Rutland reported this to me on IRC.

The bug was fixed, but to prevent future bugs from crashing the kernel,
check the field and add a WARN_ON() if it is NULL.

<title>tracing: Do not let histogram values have some modifiers</title>

commit e0213434fe3e4a0d118923dc98d31e7ff1cd9e45 upstream.

Histogram values can not be strings, stacktraces, graphs, symbols,
syscalls, or grouped in buckets or log. Give an error if a value is set to
do so.

Note, the histogram code was not prepared to handle these modifiers for
histograms and caused a bug.

Function 'create_hist_field' is called recursively at
trace_events_hist.c:1954 and can return NULL-value that's why we have
to check it to avoid null pointer dereference.

<title>tracing/hist: Fix issue of losting command info in error_log</title>

<id>608c6ed3337850c767ab0dd6c583477922233e29</id>
<content type='text'>
When input some constructed invalid 'trigger' command, command info
in 'error_log' are lost [1].

The root cause is that there is a path that event_hist_trigger_parse()
is recursely called once and 'last_cmd' which save origin command is
cleared, then later calling of hist_err() will no longer record origin
command info:

  event_hist_trigger_parse() {
    last_cmd_set()  // &lt;1&gt; 'last_cmd' save origin command here at first
    create_actions() {
      onmatch_create() {
        action_create() {
          trace_action_create() {
            trace_action_create_field_var() {
              create_field_var_hist() {
                event_hist_trigger_parse() {  // &lt;2&gt; recursely called once
                  hist_err_clear()  // &lt;3&gt; 'last_cmd' is cleared here
                }
                hist_err()  // &lt;4&gt; No longer find origin command!!!

Since 'glob' is empty string while running into the recurse call, we
can trickly check it and bypass the call of hist_err_clear() to solve it.

When input some constructed invalid 'trigger' command, command info
in 'error_log' are lost [1].

The root cause is that there is a path that event_hist_trigger_parse()
is recursely called once and 'last_cmd' which save origin command is
cleared, then later calling of hist_err() will no longer record origin
command info:

  event_hist_trigger_parse() {
    last_cmd_set()  // &lt;1&gt; 'last_cmd' save origin command here at first
    create_actions() {
      onmatch_create() {
        action_create() {
          trace_action_create() {
            trace_action_create_field_var() {
              create_field_var_hist() {
                event_hist_trigger_parse() {  // &lt;2&gt; recursely called once
                  hist_err_clear()  // &lt;3&gt; 'last_cmd' is cleared here
                }
                hist_err()  // &lt;4&gt; No longer find origin command!!!

Since 'glob' is empty string while running into the recurse call, we
can trickly check it and bypass the call of hist_err_clear() to solve it.

<title>tracing/hist: Fix out-of-bound write on 'action_data.var_ref_idx'</title>

<content type='text'>
When generate a synthetic event with many params and then create a trace
action for it [1], kernel panic happened [2].

It is because that in trace_action_create() 'data-&gt;n_params' is up to
SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX (current value is 64), and array 'data-&gt;var_ref_idx'
keeps indices into array 'hist_data-&gt;var_refs' for each synthetic event
param, but the length of 'data-&gt;var_ref_idx' is TRACING_MAP_VARS_MAX
(current value is 16), so out-of-bound write happened when 'data-&gt;n_params'
more than 16. In this case, 'data-&gt;match_data.event' is overwritten and
eventually cause the panic.

To solve the issue, adjust the length of 'data-&gt;var_ref_idx' to be
SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX and add sanity checks to avoid out-of-bound write.

When generate a synthetic event with many params and then create a trace

It is because that in trace_action_create() 'data-&gt;n_params' is up to
SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX (current value is 64), and array 'data-&gt;var_ref_idx'
keeps indices into array 'hist_data-&gt;var_refs' for each synthetic event
param, but the length of 'data-&gt;var_ref_idx' is TRACING_MAP_VARS_MAX
(current value is 16), so out-of-bound write happened when 'data-&gt;n_params'
more than 16. In this case, 'data-&gt;match_data.event' is overwritten and
eventually cause the panic.

To solve the issue, adjust the length of 'data-&gt;var_ref_idx' to be
SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX and add sanity checks to avoid out-of-bound write.

Add 'nohitcount' ('NOHC' for short) option for suppressing display of
the raw hitcount column in the histogram.
Note that you must specify at least one value except raw 'hitcount'
when you specify this nohitcount option.

E.g. this shows the runtime percentage for each tasks.

<title>tracing: Allow multiple hitcount values in histograms</title>

<id>5f2e094ed2592abb3d1f49e263957188e121c2ac</id>
<content type='text'>
The hitcount is treated specially in the histograms - since it's
always expected to be there regardless of whether the user specified
anything or not, it's always added as the first histogram value.

Currently the code doesn't allow it to be added more than once as a
value, which is inconsistent with all the other possible values.  It
would seem to be a pointless thing to want to do, but other features
being added such as percent and graph modifiers don't work properly
with the current hitcount restrictions.

Fix this by allowing multiple hitcounts to be added.
