commit 372e0d01da71c84dcecf7028598a33813b0d5256 upstream.

The race between adding a function probe and reading the probes that exist
is very subtle. It needs a comment. Also, the issue can also happen if the
probe has has the EMPTY_HASH as its func_hash.

commit 5b0022dd32b7c2e15edf1827ba80aa1407edf9ff upstream.

In register_ftrace_function_probe(), we are not checking the return
value of alloc_and_copy_ftrace_hash(). The subsequent call to
ftrace_match_records() may end up dereferencing the same. Add a check to
ensure this doesn't happen.

commit 7bd46644ea0f6021dc396a39a8bfd3a58f6f1f9f upstream.

LTP testsuite on powerpc results in the below crash:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000

The test (ftrace_set_ftrace_filter.sh) is part of ftrace stress tests
and the crash happens when the test does 'cat
$TRACING_PATH/set_ftrace_filter'.

The address points to the second line below, in t_probe_next(), where
filter_hash is dereferenced:
  hash = iter-&gt;probe-&gt;ops.func_hash-&gt;filter_hash;
  size = 1 &lt;&lt; hash-&gt;size_bits;

This happens due to a race with register_ftrace_function_probe(). A new
ftrace_func_probe is created and added into the func_probes list in
trace_array under ftrace_lock. However, before initializing the filter,
we drop ftrace_lock, and re-acquire it after acquiring regex_lock. If
another process is trying to read set_ftrace_filter, it will be able to
acquire ftrace_lock during this window and it will end up seeing a NULL
filter_hash.

Fix this by just checking for a NULL filter_hash in t_probe_next(). If
the filter_hash is NULL, then this probe is just being added and we can
simply return from here.

We already have tested it before. The second one should be removed.

<title>ftrace: Enable trampoline when rec count returns back to one</title>

[ Upstream commit a124692b698b00026a58d89831ceda2331b2e1d0 ]

Custom trampolines can only be enabled if there is only a single ops
attached to it. If there's only a single callback registered to a function,
and the ops has a trampoline registered for it, then we can call the
trampoline directly. This is very useful for improving the performance of
ftrace and livepatch.

If more than one callback is registered to a function, the general
trampoline is used, and the custom trampoline is not restored back to the
direct call even if all the other callbacks were unregistered and we are
back to one callback for the function.

To fix this, set FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag if rec count is decremented
to one, and the ops that left has a trampoline.

Testing After this patch :

<title>tracing: Fix user stack trace "??" output</title>

commit 6d54ceb539aacc3df65c89500e8b045924f3ef81 upstream.

Commit c5c27a0a5838 ("x86/stacktrace: Remove the pointless ULONG_MAX
marker") removes ULONG_MAX marker from user stack trace entries but
trace_user_stack_print() still uses the marker and it outputs unnecessary
"??".

For example:

            less-1911  [001] d..2    34.758944: &lt;user stack trace&gt;
   =&gt;  &lt;00007f16f2295910&gt;
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??

The user stack trace code zeroes the storage before saving the stack, so if
the trace is shorter than the maximum number of entries it can terminate
the print loop if a zero entry is detected.

Current snapshot implementation swaps two ring_buffers even though their
sizes are different from each other, that can cause an inconsistency
between the contents of buffer_size_kb file and the current buffer size.

For example:

  # cat buffer_size_kb
  7 (expanded: 1408)
  # echo 1 &gt; events/enable
  # grep bytes per_cpu/cpu0/stats
  bytes: 1441020
  # echo 1 &gt; snapshot             // current:1408, spare:1408
  # echo 123 &gt; buffer_size_kb     // current:123,  spare:1408
  # echo 1 &gt; snapshot             // current:1408, spare:123
  # grep bytes per_cpu/cpu0/stats
  bytes: 1443700
  # cat buffer_size_kb
  123                             // != current:1408

And also, a similar per-cpu case hits the following WARNING:

Reproducer:

  # echo 1 &gt; per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
  # echo 123 &gt; buffer_size_kb
  # echo 1 &gt; per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot

<title>ftrace/x86: Remove possible deadlock between register_kprobe() and ftrace_run_update_code()</title>

<id>d5b844a2cf507fc7642c9ae80a9d585db3065c28</id>
<content type='text'>
The commit 9f255b632bf12c4dd7 ("module: Fix livepatch/ftrace module text
permissions race") causes a possible deadlock between register_kprobe()
and ftrace_run_update_code() when ftrace is using stop_machine().

The existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-&gt; #1 (text_mutex){+.+.}:
       validate_chain.isra.21+0xb32/0xd70
       __lock_acquire+0x4b8/0x928

       ret_from_fork+0x30/0x34
       kernel_thread_starter+0x0/0xc

-&gt; #0 (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}:
       check_prev_add+0x90c/0xde0
       validate_chain.isra.21+0xb32/0xd70
       __lock_acquire+0x4b8/0x928

       arch_ftrace_update_code+0x2e/0x40
       ftrace_run_update_code+0x40/0xa0
       ftrace_startup+0xb2/0x168
       register_ftrace_function+0x64/0x88
       klp_patch_object+0x1a2/0x290

       do_init_module+0x6e/0x250

       __s390x_sys_finit_module+0xaa/0xf0
       system_call+0xd8/0x2d0

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(text_mutex);
                               lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
                               lock(text_mutex);
  lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);

It is similar problem that has been solved by the commit 2d1e38f56622b9b
("kprobes: Cure hotplug lock ordering issues"). Many locks are involved.
To be on the safe side, text_mutex must become a low level lock taken
after cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem.

This can't be achieved easily with the current ftrace design.
For example, arm calls set_all_modules_text_rw() already in
ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare(), see arch/arm/kernel/ftrace.c.
This functions is called:

  + outside stop_machine() from ftrace_run_update_code()
  + without stop_machine() from ftrace_module_enable()

Fortunately, the problematic fix is needed only on x86_64. It is
the only architecture that calls set_all_modules_text_rw()
in ftrace path and supports livepatching at the same time.

Therefore it is enough to move text_mutex handling from the generic
kernel/trace/ftrace.c into arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:

   ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
   ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()

This patch basically reverts the ftrace part of the problematic
commit 9f255b632bf12c4dd7 ("module: Fix livepatch/ftrace module
text permissions race"). And provides x86_64 specific-fix.

Some refactoring of the ftrace code will be needed when livepatching
is implemented for arm or nds32. These architectures call
set_all_modules_text_rw() and use stop_machine() at the same time.

The commit 9f255b632bf12c4dd7 ("module: Fix livepatch/ftrace module text
permissions race") causes a possible deadlock between register_kprobe()
and ftrace_run_update_code() when ftrace is using stop_machine().

The existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-&gt; #1 (text_mutex){+.+.}:
       validate_chain.isra.21+0xb32/0xd70
       __lock_acquire+0x4b8/0x928

       kernel_init_freeable+0x456/0x508
       kernel_init+0x22/0x150
       ret_from_fork+0x30/0x34
       kernel_thread_starter+0x0/0xc

-&gt; #0 (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}:

       arch_ftrace_update_code+0x2e/0x40
       ftrace_run_update_code+0x40/0xa0
       ftrace_startup+0xb2/0x168
       register_ftrace_function+0x64/0x88
       klp_patch_object+0x1a2/0x290

       do_init_module+0x6e/0x250
       load_module+0x1782/0x1990
       __s390x_sys_finit_module+0xaa/0xf0
       system_call+0xd8/0x2d0

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(text_mutex);
                               lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
                               lock(text_mutex);
  lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);

It is similar problem that has been solved by the commit 2d1e38f56622b9b
("kprobes: Cure hotplug lock ordering issues"). Many locks are involved.
To be on the safe side, text_mutex must become a low level lock taken
after cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem.

This can't be achieved easily with the current ftrace design.
For example, arm calls set_all_modules_text_rw() already in
ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare(), see arch/arm/kernel/ftrace.c.
This functions is called:

  + outside stop_machine() from ftrace_run_update_code()
  + without stop_machine() from ftrace_module_enable()

Fortunately, the problematic fix is needed only on x86_64. It is
the only architecture that calls set_all_modules_text_rw()
in ftrace path and supports livepatching at the same time.

Therefore it is enough to move text_mutex handling from the generic
kernel/trace/ftrace.c into arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:

   ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
   ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()

This patch basically reverts the ftrace part of the problematic
commit 9f255b632bf12c4dd7 ("module: Fix livepatch/ftrace module
text permissions race"). And provides x86_64 specific-fix.

Some refactoring of the ftrace code will be needed when livepatching
is implemented for arm or nds32. These architectures call
set_all_modules_text_rw() and use stop_machine() at the same time.
