commit 3cec638b3d793b7cacdec5b8072364b41caeb0e1 upstream.

When create_event_filter() fails in set_trigger_filter(), the filter may
still be allocated and needs to be freed. The caller expects the
data-&gt;filter to be updated with the new filter, even if the new filter
failed (we could add an error message by setting set_str parameter of
create_event_filter(), but that's another update).

But because the error would just exit, filter was left hanging and
nothing could free it.

Found by kmemleak detector.

<title>tracing: Fix possible double free in event_enable_trigger_func()</title>

commit 15cc78644d0075e76d59476a4467e7143860f660 upstream.

There was a case that triggered a double free in event_trigger_callback()
due to the called reg() function freeing the trigger_data and then it
getting freed again by the error return by the caller. The solution there
was to up the trigger_data ref count.

Code inspection found that event_enable_trigger_func() has the same issue,
but is not as easy to trigger (requires harder to trigger failures). It
needs to be solved slightly different as it needs more to clean up when the
reg() function fails.

The cause is because the register_snapshot_trigger() call failed to
allocate the snapshot buffer, and then called unregister_trigger()
which freed the data that was passed to it. Then on return to the
function that called register_snapshot_trigger(), as it sees it
failed to register, it frees the trigger_data again and causes
a double free.

By calling event_trigger_init() on the trigger_data (which only ups
the reference counter for it), and then event_trigger_free() afterward,
the trigger_data would not get freed by the registering trigger function
as it would only up and lower the ref count for it. If the register
trigger function fails, then the event_trigger_free() called after it
will free the trigger data normally.

commit 86b389ff22bd6ad8fd3cb98e41cd271886c6d023 upstream.

If a instance has an event trigger enabled when it is freed, it could cause
an access of free memory. Here's the case that crashes:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # echo snapshot &gt; instances/foo/events/initcall/initcall_start/trigger
 # rmdir instances/foo

As trace event triggers are now part of the mainline kernel, I added
my trace event trigger tests to my test suite I run on all my kernels.
Now these tests get run under different config options, and one of
those options is CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, which checks under lockdep that
the rcu locking primitives are being used correctly. This triggered
the following splat:

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

rcu_dereference_sched().

<title>tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints</title>

Register/unregister tracepoint probes with struct tracepoint pointer
rather than tracepoint name.

This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by
Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux
size.

From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer
to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a
tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for
unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated
tracepoint is unloaded.

<title>tracing: Show available event triggers when no trigger is set</title>

Currently there's no way to know what triggers exist on a kernel without
looking at the source of the kernel or randomly trying out triggers.
Instead of creating another file in the debugfs system, simply show
what available triggers are there when cat'ing the trigger file when
it has no events:

 [root /sys/kernel/debug/tracing]# cat events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
 # Available triggers:
 # traceon traceoff snapshot stacktrace enable_event disable_event

This stays consistent with other debugfs files where meta data like
this is always proceeded with a '#' at the start of the line so that
tools can strip these out.

The counters for the traceon and traceoff are only suppose to decrement
when the trigger enables or disables tracing. It is not suppose to decrement
every time the event is hit.

Only decrement the counter if the trigger actually did something.

The filter field of the event_trigger_data structure is protected under
RCU sched locks. It was not annotated as such, and after doing so,
sparse pointed out several locations that required fix ups.

Trace event triggers added a lseek that uses the ftrace_filter_lseek()
function. Unfortunately, when function tracing is not configured in
that function is not defined and the kernel fails to build.

This is the second time that function was added to a file ops and
it broke the build due to requiring special config dependencies.

Make a generic tracing_lseek() that all the tracing utilities may
use.

Also, modify the old ftrace_filter_lseek() to return 0 instead of
1 on WRONLY. Not sure why it was a 1 as that does not make sense.

This also changes the old tracing_seek() to modify the file pos
pointer on WRONLY as well.
