commit 46cc0b44428d0f0e81f11ea98217fc0edfbeab07 upstream.

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>tracing: Fix partial reading of trace event's id file</title>

<id>cc8b1a5dd2df701c7d619d12b90c6f341743340c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit cbe08bcbbe787315c425dde284dcb715cfbf3f39 upstream.

When reading only part of the id file, the ppos isn't tracked correctly.
This is taken care by simple_read_from_buffer.

Reading a single byte, and then the next byte would result EOF.

While this seems like not a big deal, this breaks abstractions that
reads information from files unbuffered. See for example
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/29399

This code was mentioned as problematic in
commit cd458ba9d5a5
("tracing: Do not (ab)use trace_seq in event_id_read()")

An example C code that show this bug is:

  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdint.h&gt;

  #include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;
  #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
  #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

  int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    if (argc &lt; 2)
      return 1;
    int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
    char c;
    read(fd, &amp;c, 1);
    printf("First  %c\n", c);
    read(fd, &amp;c, 1);
    printf("Second %c\n", c);
  }

Then run with, e.g.

  sudo ./a.out /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/tcp_set_state/id

You'll notice you're getting the first character twice, instead of the
first two characters in the id file.

commit d6097c9e4454adf1f8f2c9547c2fa6060d55d952 upstream.

Unless the very next line is schedule(), or implies it, one must not use
preempt_enable_no_resched(). It can cause a preemption to go missing and
thereby cause arbitrary delays, breaking the PREEMPT=y invariant.

commit 2840f84f74035e5a535959d5f17269c69fa6edc5 upstream.

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.

Found by kmemleak detector.

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>ring-buffer: Allow for rescheduling when removing pages</title>

commit 83f365554e47997ec68dc4eca3f5dce525cd15c3 upstream.

When reducing ring buffer size, pages are removed by scheduling a work
item on each CPU for the corresponding CPU ring buffer. After the pages
are removed from ring buffer linked list, the pages are free()d in a
tight loop. The loop does not give up CPU until all pages are removed.
In a worst case behavior, when lot of pages are to be freed, it can
cause system stall.

After the pages are removed from the list, the free() can happen while
the work is rescheduled. Call cond_resched() in the loop to prevent the
system hangup.

<title>tracing/blktrace: Fix to allow setting same value</title>

commit 757d9140072054528b13bbe291583d9823cde195 upstream.

Masami Hiramatsu reported:

  Current trace-enable attribute in sysfs returns an error
  if user writes the same setting value as current one,
  e.g.

    # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    0
    # echo 0 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
    # echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

  But this is not a preferred behavior, it should ignore
  if new setting is same as current one. This fixes the
  problem as below.

    # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    0
    # echo 0 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/sda/trace/enable

<title>uprobes: Use synchronize_rcu() not synchronize_sched()</title>

commit 016f8ffc48cb01d1e7701649c728c5d2e737d295 upstream.

While debugging another bug, I was looking at all the synchronize*()
functions being used in kernel/trace, and noticed that trace_uprobes was
using synchronize_sched(), with a comment to synchronize with
{u,ret}_probe_trace_func(). When looking at those functions, the data is
protected with "rcu_read_lock()" and not with "rcu_read_lock_sched()". This
is using the wrong synchronize_*() function.

<title>tracing: Do not call start/stop() functions when tracing_on does not change</title>

commit f143641bfef9a4a60c57af30de26c63057e7e695 upstream.

Currently, when one echo's in 1 into tracing_on, the current tracer's
"start()" function is executed, even if tracing_on was already one. This can
lead to strange side effects. One being that if the hwlat tracer is enabled,
and someone does "echo 1 &gt; tracing_on" into tracing_on, the hwlat tracer's
start() function is called again which will recreate another kernel thread,
and make it unable to remove the old one.
