ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_iter_empty() return true when empty

2017-04-27T07:12:57+00:00

commit 78f7a45dac2a2d2002f98a3a95f7979867868d73 upstream.

I noticed that reading the snapshot file when it is empty no longer gives a
status. It suppose to show the status of the snapshot buffer as well as how
to allocate and use it. For example:

 ># cat snapshot
 # tracer: nop
 #
 #
 # * Snapshot is allocated *
 #
 # Snapshot commands:
 # echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer
 # echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated.
 #                      Takes a snapshot of the main buffer.
 # echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate or free)
 #                      (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
 #                       is not a '0' or '1')

But instead it just showed an empty buffer:

 ># cat snapshot
 # tracer: nop
 #
 # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0   #P:4
 #
 #                              _-----=> irqs-off
 #                             / _----=> need-resched
 #                            | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
 #                            || / _--=> preempt-depth
 #                            ||| /     delay
 #           TASK-PID   CPU#  ||||    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |       |   ||||       |         |

What happened was that it was using the ring_buffer_iter_empty() function to
see if it was empty, and if it was, it showed the status. But that function
was returning false when it was empty. The reason was that the iter header
page was on the reader page, and the reader page was empty, but so was the
buffer itself. The check only tested to see if the iter was on the commit
page, but the commit page was no longer pointing to the reader page, but as
all pages were empty, the buffer is also.

tracing: Allocate the snapshot buffer before enabling probe

2017-04-27T07:12:57+00:00

commit df62db5be2e5f070ecd1a5ece5945b590ee112e0 upstream.

Currently the snapshot trigger enables the probe and then allocates the
snapshot. If the probe triggers before the allocation, it could cause the
snapshot to fail and turn tracing off. It's best to allocate the snapshot
buffer first, and then enable the trigger. If something goes wrong in the
enabling of the trigger, the snapshot buffer is still allocated, but it can
also be freed by the user by writting zero into the snapshot buffer file.

Also add a check of the return status of alloc_snapshot().

ftrace: Fix function pid filter on instances

2017-04-21T07:32:41+00:00

commit d879d0b8c183aabeb9a65eba91f3f9e3c7e7b905 upstream.

When function tracer has a pid filter, it adds a probe to sched_switch
to track if current task can be ignored.  The probe checks the
ftrace_ignore_pid from current tr to filter tasks.  But it misses to
delete the probe when removing an instance so that it can cause a crash
due to the invalid tr pointer (use-after-free).

This is easily reproducible with the following:

  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  # mkdir instances/buggy
  # echo $$ > instances/buggy/set_ftrace_pid
  # rmdir instances/buggy

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

To fix it, use ftrace_clear_pids() to unregister the probe.  As
instance_rmdir() already updated ftrace codes, it can just free the
filter safely.

ftrace: Fix removing of second function probe

2017-04-21T07:32:40+00:00

commit 82cc4fc2e70ec5baeff8f776f2773abc8b2cc0ae upstream.

When two function probes are added to set_ftrace_filter, and then one of
them is removed, the update to the function locations is not performed, and
the record keeping of the function states are corrupted, and causes an
ftrace_bug() to occur.

This is easily reproducable by adding two probes, removing one, and then
adding it back again.

 # echo do_IRQ:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter

fs: Better permission checking for submounts

2017-03-15T02:20:10+00:00

commit 93faccbbfa958a9668d3ab4e30f38dd205cee8d8 upstream.

To support unprivileged users mounting filesystems two permission
checks have to be performed: a test to see if the user allowed to
create a mount in the mount namespace, and a test to see if
the user is allowed to access the specified filesystem.

The automount case is special in that mounting the original filesystem
grants permission to mount the sub-filesystems, to any user who
happens to stumble across the their mountpoint and satisfies the
ordinary filesystem permission checks.

Attempting to handle the automount case by using override_creds
almost works.  It preserves the idea that permission to mount
the original filesystem is permission to mount the sub-filesystem.
Unfortunately using override_creds messes up the filesystems
ordinary permission checks.

Solve this by being explicit that a mount is a submount by introducing
vfs_submount, and using it where appropriate.

vfs_submount uses a new mount internal mount flags MS_SUBMOUNT, to let
sget and friends know that a mount is a submount so they can take appropriate
action.

sget and sget_userns are modified to not perform any permission checks
on submounts.

follow_automount is modified to stop using override_creds as that
has proven problemantic.

do_mount is modified to always remove the new MS_SUBMOUNT flag so
that we know userspace will never by able to specify it.

autofs4 is modified to stop using current_real_cred that was put in
there to handle the previous version of submount permission checking.

cifs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to vfs_submount.

debugfs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to
trace_automount by adding a new parameter.  To make this change easier
a new typedef debugfs_automount_t is introduced to capture the type of
the debugfs automount function.

tracing/kprobes: Fix __init annotation

clang complains about "__init" being attached to a struct name:

tracing: Fix hwlat kthread migration

2017-01-31T14:13:49+00:00

The hwlat tracer creates a kernel thread at start of the tracer. It is
pinned to a single CPU and will move to the next CPU after each period of
running. If the user modifies the migration thread's affinity, it will not
change after that happens.

The original code created the thread at the first instance it was called,
but later was changed to destroy the thread after the tracer was finished,
and would not be created until the next instance of the tracer was
established. The code that initialized the affinity was only called on the
initial instantiation of the tracer. After that, it was not initialized, and
the previous affinity did not match the current newly created one, making
it appear that the user modified the thread's affinity when it did not, and
the thread failed to migrate again.
