commit e31f7939c1c27faa5d0e3f14519eaf7c89e8a69d upstream.

The ftrace_profile-&gt;counter is unsigned long and
do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which means it can test
non-zero and be truncated to zero for division.
Fix this issue by using div64_ul() instead.

<title>tracing: Fix endianness bug in histogram trigger</title>

commit fe6e096a5bbf73a142f09c72e7aa2835026eb1a3 upstream.

At least on PA-RISC and s390 synthetic histogram triggers are failing
selftests because trace_event_raw_event_synth() always writes a 64 bit
values, but the reader expects a field-&gt;size sized value. On little endian
machines this doesn't hurt, but on big endian this makes the reader always
read zero values.

<title>tracing: Have the histogram compare functions convert to u64 first</title>

commit 106f41f5a302cb1f36c7543fae6a05de12e96fa4 upstream.

The compare functions of the histogram code would be specific for the size
of the value being compared (byte, short, int, long long). It would
reference the value from the array via the type of the compare, but the
value was stored in a 64 bit number. This is fine for little endian
machines, but for big endian machines, it would end up comparing zeros or
all ones (depending on the sign) for anything but 64 bit numbers.

To fix this, first derference the value as a u64 then convert it to the type
being compared.

<title>tracing: Avoid memory leak in process_system_preds()</title>

commit 79e65c27f09683fbb50c33acab395d0ddf5302d2 upstream.

When failing in the allocation of filter_item, process_system_preds()
goes to fail_mem, where the allocated filter is freed.

However, this leads to memory leak of filter-&gt;filter_string and
filter-&gt;prog, which is allocated before and in process_preds().
This bug has been detected by kmemleak as well.

Fix this by changing kfree to __free_fiter.

<title>tracing: Fix lock inversion in trace_event_enable_tgid_record()</title>

commit 3a53acf1d9bea11b57c1f6205e3fe73f9d8a3688 upstream.

       Task T2                             Task T3
trace_options_core_write()            subsystem_open()

 mutex_lock(trace_types_lock)           mutex_lock(event_mutex)

 set_tracer_flag()

   trace_event_enable_tgid_record()       mutex_lock(trace_types_lock)

    mutex_lock(event_mutex)

This gives a circular dependency deadlock between trace_types_lock and
event_mutex. To fix this invert the usage of trace_types_lock and
event_mutex in trace_options_core_write(). This keeps the sequence of
lock usage consistent.

[ Upstream commit c7411a1a126f649be71526a36d4afac9e5aefa13 ]

Check whether the non-suffixed symbol is notrace, since suffixed
symbols are generated by the compilers for optimization. Based on
these suffixed symbols, notrace check might not work because
some of them are just a partial code of the original function.
(e.g. cold-cache (unlikely) code is separated from original
 function as FUNCTION.cold.XX)

For example, without this fix,
  # echo p device_add.cold.67 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  sh: write error: Invalid argument

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/error_log
  [  135.491035] trace_kprobe: error: Failed to register probe event
    Command: p device_add.cold.67
               ^
  # dmesg | tail -n 1
  [  135.488599] trace_kprobe: Could not probe notrace function device_add.cold.67

With this,
  # echo p device_add.cold.66 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
  ffffffff81599de9  k  device_add.cold.66+0x0    [DISABLED]

Actually, kprobe blacklist already did similar thing,
see within_kprobe_blacklist().

<title>tracing: Lock event_mutex before synth_event_mutex</title>

[ Upstream commit fc800a10be26017f8f338bc8e500d48e3e6429d9 ]

synthetic event is using synth_event_mutex for protecting
synth_event_list, and event_trigger_write() path acquires
locks as below order.

event_trigger_write(event_mutex)
  -&gt;trigger_process_regex(trigger_cmd_mutex)
    -&gt;event_hist_trigger_func(synth_event_mutex)

On the other hand, synthetic event creation and deletion paths
call trace_add_event_call() and trace_remove_event_call()
which acquires event_mutex. In that case, if we keep the
synth_event_mutex locked while registering/unregistering synthetic
events, its dependency will be inversed.

To avoid this issue, current synthetic event is using a 2 phase
process to create/delete events. For example, it searches existing
events under synth_event_mutex to check for event-name conflicts, and
unlocks synth_event_mutex, then registers a new event under event_mutex
locked. Finally, it locks synth_event_mutex and tries to add the
new event to the list. But it can introduce complexity and a chance
for name conflicts.

To solve this simpler, this introduces trace_add_event_call_nolock()
and trace_remove_event_call_nolock() which don't acquire
event_mutex inside. synthetic event can lock event_mutex before
synth_event_mutex to solve the lock dependency issue simpler.

[ Upstream commit 9fa8c9c647be624e91b09ecffa7cd97ee0600b40 ]

In the format of synthetic events, the "gfp_t" is shown as "signed:1",
but in fact the "gfp_t" is "unsigned", should be shown as "signed:0".

The issue can be reproduced by the following commands:

echo 'memlatency u64 lat; unsigned int order; gfp_t gfp_flags; int migratetype' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
cat  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/memlatency/format

It caught the process in the middle of trace_access_unlock(). There is
no loop. So, it must be looping in the caller tracing_read_pipe()
via the "waitagain" label.

Crashdump analyze uncovered that iter-&gt;seq was completely zeroed
at this point, including iter-&gt;seq.seq.size. It means that
print_trace_line() was never able to print anything and
there was no forward progress.

The culprit seems to be in the code:

	/* reset all but tr, trace, and overruns */
	memset(&amp;iter-&gt;seq, 0,
	       sizeof(struct trace_iterator) -
	       offsetof(struct trace_iterator, seq));

It was added by the commit 53d0aa773053ab182877 ("ftrace:
add logic to record overruns"). It was v2.6.27-rc1.
It was the time when iter-&gt;seq looked like:

     struct trace_seq {
	unsigned char		buffer[PAGE_SIZE];
	unsigned int		len;
     };

There was no "size" variable and zeroing was perfectly fine.

The solution is to reinitialize the structure after or without
zeroing.

It caught the process in the middle of trace_access_unlock(). There is
no loop. So, it must be looping in the caller tracing_read_pipe()
via the "waitagain" label.
