The maximum number of synthetic fields supported is defined as
SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX which value currently is 64, but it actually fails
when try to generate a synthetic event with 64 fields by executing like:

  # echo "my_synth_event int v1; int v2; int v3; int v4; int v5; int v6;\
   int v7; int v8; int v9; int v10; int v11; int v12; int v13; int v14;\
   int v15; int v16; int v17; int v18; int v19; int v20; int v21; int v22;\
   int v23; int v24; int v25; int v26; int v27; int v28; int v29; int v30;\
   int v31; int v32; int v33; int v34; int v35; int v36; int v37; int v38;\
   int v39; int v40; int v41; int v42; int v43; int v44; int v45; int v46;\

   int v63; int v64" &gt;&gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events

Correct the field counting to fix it.

<title>tracing: Add tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() function</title>

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.

In register_synth_event(), if set_synth_event_print_fmt() failed, then
both trace_remove_event_call() and unregister_trace_event() will be
called, which means the trace_event_call will call
__unregister_trace_event() twice. As the result, the second unregister
will causes the wild-memory-access.

register_synth_event
    set_synth_event_print_fmt failed
    trace_remove_event_call

            if call-&gt;event.funcs then
            __unregister_trace_event (first call)
    unregister_trace_event
        __unregister_trace_event (second call)

Fix the bug by avoiding to call the second __unregister_trace_event() by
checking if the first one is called.

<title>tracing: Fix reading strings from synthetic events</title>
<updated>2022-10-12T17:51:16+00:00</updated>

<id>0934ae9977c27133449b6dd8c6213970e7eece38</id>
<content type='text'>
The follow commands caused a crash:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
  # echo 's:open char file[]' &gt; dynamic_events
  # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:file=filename:onchange($file).trace(open,$file)' &gt; events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/trigger'
  # echo 1 &gt; events/synthetic/open/enable

BOOM!

The problem is that the synthetic event field "char file[]" will read
the value given to it as a string without any memory checks to make sure
the address is valid. The above example will pass in the user space
address and the sythetic event code will happily call strlen() on it
and then strscpy() where either one will cause an oops when accessing
user space addresses.

Use the helper functions from trace_kprobe and trace_eprobe that can
read strings safely (and actually succeed when the address is from user
space and the memory is mapped in).

Now the above can show:

     packagekitd-1721    [000] ...2.   104.597170: open: file=/usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/cmake.attr

There's no reason to use strncpy here, in fact there's no reason to do
anything but a simple kstrdup() (note we don't even need to check for
failure since last_cmod is expected to be either the last cmd string
or NULL, and the containing function is a void return).

<title>tracing: Remove size restriction on synthetic event cmd error logging</title>

Currently, synthetic event command error strings are restricted to a
length of MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL (256), which is too short for some
commands already seen in the wild (with cmd strings longer than that
showing up truncated in err_log).

Remove the restriction so that no synthetic event command error string
is ever truncated.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New:

   - The Real Time Linux Analysis (RTLA) tool is added to the tools
     directory.

   - Can safely filter on user space pointers with: field.ustring ~
     "match-string"

   - eprobes can now be filtered like any other event.

   - trace_marker(_raw) now uses stream_open() to allow multiple threads
     to safely write to it. Note, this could possibly break existing
     user space, but we will not know until we hear about it, and then
     can revert the change if need be.

   - New field in events to display when bottom halfs are disabled.

   - Sorting of the ftrace functions are now done at compile time
     instead of at bootup.

  Infrastructure changes to support future efforts:

   - Added __rel_loc type for trace events. Similar to __data_loc but
     the offset to the dynamic data is based off of the location of the
     descriptor and not the beginning of the event. Needed for user
     defined events.

   - Some simplification of event trigger code.

   - Make synthetic events process its callback better to not hinder
     other event callbacks that are registered. Needed for user defined
     events.

  And other small fixes and cleanups"

<title>tracing: Do not let synth_events block other dyn_event systems during create</title>

synth_events is returning -EINVAL if the dyn_event create command does
not contain ' \t'. This prevents other systems from getting called back.
synth_events needs to return -ECANCELED in these cases when the command
is not targeting the synth_event system.

There's error paths in __create_synth_event() after the argv is allocated
that fail to free it. Add a jump to free it when necessary.
