commit 2fbdb6d8e03b70668c0876e635506540ae92ab05 upstream.

On arm32, size_t is defined to be unsigned int, while PAGE_SIZE is
unsigned long. This hence triggers a compilation warning as min()
asserts the type of two operands to be equal. Casting PAGE_SIZE to size_t
solves this issue and works on other target architectures as well.

Compilation warning details:

./include/linux/minmax.h:20:28: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
  (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1)))

[ Upstream commit 196a062641fe68d9bfe0ad36b6cd7628c99ad22c ]

Binary printing functions are using printf() type of format, and compiler
is not happy about them as is:

kernel/trace/trace.c:3292:9: error: function ‘trace_vbprintk’ might be a candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Werror=suggest-attribute=format]
kernel/trace/trace_seq.c:182:9: error: function ‘trace_seq_bprintf’ might be a candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Werror=suggest-attribute=format]

Fix the compilation errors by adding __printf() attribute.

While at it, move existing __printf() attributes from the implementations
to the declarations. IT also fixes incorrect attribute parameters that are
used for trace_array_printk().

[ Upstream commit bcba8d4dbe6880ce9883409df486de35d3946704 ]

Instead of saving off the text and data pointers and using them to compare
with the current boot's text and data pointers, just save off the KASLR
offset. Then that can be used to figure out how to read the previous boots
buffer.

The last_boot_info will now show this offset, but only if it is for a
previous boot:

  ~# cat instances/boot_mapped/last_boot_info
  39000000	[kernel]

  ~# echo function &gt; instances/boot_mapped/current_tracer
  ~# cat instances/boot_mapped/last_boot_info
  # Current

If the KASLR offset saved is for the current boot, the last_boot_info will
show the value of "current".

<title>ring-buffer: Fix persistent buffer when commit page is the reader page</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 1d6c39c89f617c9fec6bbae166e25b16a014f7c8 upstream.

The ring buffer is made up of sub buffers (sometimes called pages as they
are by default PAGE_SIZE). It has the following "pages":

  "tail page" - this is the page that the next write will write to
  "head page" - this is the page that the reader will swap the reader page with.
  "reader page" - This belongs to the reader, where it will swap the head
                  page from the ring buffer so that the reader does not
                  race with the writer.

The writer may end up on the "reader page" if the ring buffer hasn't
written more than one page, where the "tail page" and the "head page" are
the same.

The persistent ring buffer has meta data that points to where these pages
exist so on reboot it can re-create the pointers to the cpu_buffer
descriptor. But when the commit page is on the reader page, the logic is
incorrect.

The check to see if the commit page is on the reader page checked if the
head page was the reader page, which would never happen, as the head page
is always in the ring buffer. The correct check would be to test if the
commit page is on the reader page. If that's the case, then it can exit
out early as the commit page is only on the reader page when there's only
one page of data in the buffer. There's no reason to iterate the ring
buffer pages to find the "commit page" as it is already found.

To trigger this bug:

  # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped/events/syscalls/sys_enter_fchownat/enable
  # touch /tmp/x
  # chown sshd /tmp/x
  # reboot

On boot up, the dmesg will have:
 Ring buffer meta [0] is from previous boot!
 Ring buffer meta [1] is from previous boot!
 Ring buffer meta [2] is from previous boot!
 Ring buffer meta [3] is from previous boot!
 Ring buffer meta [4] commit page not found
 Ring buffer meta [5] is from previous boot!
 Ring buffer meta [6] is from previous boot!
 Ring buffer meta [7] is from previous boot!

Where the buffer on CPU 4 had a "commit page not found" error and that
buffer is cleared and reset causing the output to be empty and the data lost.

When it works correctly, it has:

  # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped/trace_pipe
        &lt;...&gt;-1137    [004] .....   998.205323: sys_enter_fchownat: __syscall_nr=0x104 (260) dfd=0xffffff9c (4294967196) filename=(0xffffc90000a0002c) user=0x3e8 (1000) group=0xffffffff (4294967295) flag=0x0 (0

commit 11aff32439df6ca5b3b891b43032faf88f4a6a29 upstream.

The preemption count of the stacktrace filter command to trace ksys_read
is consistently incorrect:

$ echo ksys_read:stacktrace &gt; set_ftrace_filter

   &lt;...&gt;-453     [004] ...1.    38.308956: &lt;stack trace&gt;
=&gt; ksys_read
=&gt; do_syscall_64
=&gt; entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

The root cause is that the trace framework disables preemption when
invoking the filter command callback in function_trace_probe_call:

   preempt_disable_notrace();
   probe_ops-&gt;func(ip, parent_ip, probe_opsbe-&gt;tr, probe_ops, probe-&gt;data);
   preempt_enable_notrace();

Use tracing_gen_ctx_dec() to account for the preempt_disable_notrace(),
which will output the correct preemption count:

$ echo ksys_read:stacktrace &gt; set_ftrace_filter

   &lt;...&gt;-410     [006] .....    31.420396: &lt;stack trace&gt;

commit e333332657f615ac2b55aa35565c4a882018bbe9 upstream.

When using the stacktrace trigger command to trace syscalls, the
preemption count was consistently reported as 1 when the system call
event itself had 0 (".").

For example:

root@ubuntu22-vm:/sys/kernel/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read
$ echo stacktrace &gt; trigger
$ echo 1 &gt; enable

    sshd-416     [002] .....   232.864910: sys_read(fd: a, buf: 556b1f3221d0, count: 8000)
    sshd-416     [002] ...1.   232.864913: &lt;stack trace&gt;
 =&gt; ftrace_syscall_enter
 =&gt; syscall_trace_enter
 =&gt; do_syscall_64
 =&gt; entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

The root cause is that the trace framework disables preemption in __DO_TRACE before
invoking the trigger callback.

Use the tracing_gen_ctx_dec() that will accommodate for the increase of
the preemption count in __DO_TRACE when calling the callback. The result
is the accurate reporting of:

commit e333332657f615ac2b55aa35565c4a882018bbe9 upstream.

When using the stacktrace trigger command to trace syscalls, the
preemption count was consistently reported as 1 when the system call
event itself had 0 (".").

For example:

root@ubuntu22-vm:/sys/kernel/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read
$ echo stacktrace &gt; trigger
$ echo 1 &gt; enable

    sshd-416     [002] .....   232.864910: sys_read(fd: a, buf: 556b1f3221d0, count: 8000)
    sshd-416     [002] ...1.   232.864913: &lt;stack trace&gt;
 =&gt; ftrace_syscall_enter
 =&gt; syscall_trace_enter
 =&gt; do_syscall_64
 =&gt; entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

The root cause is that the trace framework disables preemption in __DO_TRACE before
invoking the trigger callback.

Use the tracing_gen_ctx_dec() that will accommodate for the increase of
the preemption count in __DO_TRACE when calling the callback. The result
is the accurate reporting of:

    sshd-410     [004] .....   210.117660: sys_read(fd: 4, buf: 559b725ba130, count: 40000)
    sshd-410     [004] .....   210.117662: &lt;stack trace&gt;
 =&gt; ftrace_syscall_enter
 =&gt; syscall_trace_enter
 =&gt; do_syscall_64
 =&gt; entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

[ Upstream commit fd837de3c9cb1a162c69bc1fb1f438467fe7f2f5 ]

Since the shared trace_probe_log variable can be accessed and
modified via probe event create operation of kprobe_events,
uprobe_events, and dynamic_events, it should be protected.
In the dynamic_events, all operations are serialized by
`dyn_event_ops_mutex`. But kprobe_events and uprobe_events
interfaces are not serialized.

To solve this issue, introduces dyn_event_create(), which runs
create() operation under the mutex, for kprobe_events and
uprobe_events. This also uses lockdep to check the mutex is
held when using trace_probe_log* APIs.

[ Upstream commit 9dda18a32b4a6693fccd3f7c0738af646147b1cf ]

When CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST is enabled, fprobe triggers the following
warning:

    WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
    kernel/trace/fprobe.c:457 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

    other info that might help us debug this:
	#1: ffffffff863c4e08 (fprobe_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: fprobe_module_callback+0x7b/0x8c0

    Call Trace:
	fprobe_module_callback
	notifier_call_chain
	blocking_notifier_call_chain

This warning occurs because fprobe_remove_node_in_module() traverses an
RCU list using RCU primitives without holding an RCU read lock. However,
the function is only called from fprobe_module_callback(), which holds
the fprobe_mutex lock that provides sufficient protection for safely
traversing the list.

Fix the warning by specifying the locking design to the
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST mechanism. Add the lockdep_is_held() argument to
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() to inform the RCU checker that fprobe_mutex
provides the required protection.

commit 0a8f11f8569e7ed16cbcedeb28c4350f6378fea6 upstream.

On some paths in print_event_fields() it takes the trace_event_sem for
read, even though it should always be held when the function is called.

Remove the taking of that mutex and add a lockdep_assert_held_read() to
make sure the trace_event_sem is held when print_event_fields() is called.
