Since tracepoints_mutex will be taken in tracepoint_probe_register/unregister()
there is no need to take bpf_event_mutex too.
bpf_event_mutex is protecting modifications to prog array used in kprobe/perf bpf progs.
bpf_raw_tracepoints don't need to take this mutex.

Since tracepoints_mutex will be taken in tracepoint_probe_register/unregister()
there is no need to take bpf_event_mutex too.
bpf_event_mutex is protecting modifications to prog array used in kprobe/perf bpf progs.
bpf_raw_tracepoints don't need to take this mutex.

commit 6a072128d262d2b98d31626906a96700d1fc11eb upstream.

Then tracing syscall exit event it is extremely useful to filter exit
codes equal to some negative value, to react only to required errors.
But negative numbers does not work:

[root@snorch sys_exit_read]# echo "ret == -1" &gt; filter
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[root@snorch sys_exit_read]# cat filter
ret == -1
        ^
parse_error: Invalid value (did you forget quotes)?

Similar thing happens when setting triggers.

These is a regression in v4.17 introduced by the commit mentioned below,
testing without these commit shows no problem with negative numbers.

commit 9e7382153f80ba45a0bbcd540fb77d4b15f6e966 upstream.

The following commit

  441dae8f2f29 ("tracing: Add support for display of tgid in trace output")

removed the call to print_event_info() from print_func_help_header_irq()
which results in the ftrace header not reporting the number of entries
written in the buffer. As this wasn't the original intent of the patch,
re-introduce the call to print_event_info() to restore the orginal
behaviour.

<title>kprobe: Do not use uaccess functions to access kernel memory that can fault</title>

commit 2c4f1fcbef0bc324830bc2fb1a264c08ec93dec5 upstream.

The userspace can ask kprobe to intercept strings at any memory address,
including invalid kernel address. In this case, fetch_store_strlen()
would crash since it uses general usercopy function, and user access
functions are no longer allowed to access kernel memory.

For example, we can crash the kernel by doing something as below:

$ sudo kprobe 'p:do_sys_open +0(+0(%si)):string'

This can be fixed by using probe_mem_read() instead, as it can handle faulting
kernel memory addresses, which kprobes can legitimately do.

This can be fixed by using probe_mem_read() instead, as it can handle faulting
kernel memory addresses, which kprobes can legitimately do.

<title>tracing: probeevent: Correctly update remaining space in dynamic area</title>

commit f6675872db57305fa957021efc788f9983ed3b67 upstream.

Commit 9178412ddf5a ("tracing: probeevent: Return consumed
bytes of dynamic area") improved the string fetching
mechanism by returning the number of required bytes after
copying the argument to the dynamic area. However, this
return value is now only used to increment the pointer
inside the dynamic area but misses updating the 'maxlen'
variable which indicates the remaining space in the dynamic
area.

This means that fetch_store_string() always reads the *total*
size of the dynamic area from the data_loc pointer instead of
the *remaining* size (and passes it along to
strncpy_from_{user,unsafe}) even if we're already about to
copy data into the middle of the dynamic area.

<title>tracing/uprobes: Fix output for multiple string arguments</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 0722069a5374b904ec1a67f91249f90e1cfae259 upstream.

When printing multiple uprobe arguments as strings the output for the
earlier arguments would also include all later string arguments.

This is best explained in an example:

Consider adding a uprobe to a function receiving two strings as
parameters which is at offset 0xa0 in strlib.so and we want to print
both parameters when the uprobe is hit (on x86_64):

$ echo 'p:func /lib/strlib.so:0xa0 +0(%di):string +0(%si):string' &gt; \
    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

When the function is called as func("foo", "bar") and we hit the probe,
the trace file shows a line like the following:

  [...] func: (0x7f7e683706a0) arg1="foobar" arg2="bar"

Note the extra "bar" printed as part of arg1. This behaviour stacks up
for additional string arguments.

The strings are stored in a dynamically growing part of the uprobe
buffer by fetch_store_string() after copying them from userspace via
strncpy_from_user(). The return value of strncpy_from_user() is then
directly used as the required size for the string. However, this does
not take the terminating null byte into account as the documentation
for strncpy_from_user() cleary states that it "[...] returns the
length of the string (not including the trailing NUL)" even though the
null byte will be copied to the destination.

Therefore, subsequent calls to fetch_store_string() will overwrite
the terminating null byte of the most recently fetched string with
the first character of the current string, leading to the
"accumulation" of strings in earlier arguments in the output.

Fix this by incrementing the return value of strncpy_from_user() by
one if we did not hit the maximum buffer size.

The following commands will cause a memory leak:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # echo schedule &gt; instance/foo/set_ftrace_filter
 # rmdir instances/foo

The reason is that the hashes that hold the filters to set_ftrace_filter and
set_ftrace_notrace are not freed if they contain any data on the instance
and the instance is removed.

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.
