commit d879d0b8c183aabeb9a65eba91f3f9e3c7e7b905 upstream.

When function tracer has a pid filter, it adds a probe to sched_switch
to track if current task can be ignored.  The probe checks the
ftrace_ignore_pid from current tr to filter tasks.  But it misses to
delete the probe when removing an instance so that it can cause a crash
due to the invalid tr pointer (use-after-free).

This is easily reproducible with the following:

  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  # mkdir instances/buggy
  # echo $$ &gt; instances/buggy/set_ftrace_pid
  # rmdir instances/buggy

  ============================================================================
  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90

   ...

To fix it, use ftrace_clear_pids() to unregister the probe.  As
instance_rmdir() already updated ftrace codes, it can just free the
filter safely.

commit 82cc4fc2e70ec5baeff8f776f2773abc8b2cc0ae upstream.

When two function probes are added to set_ftrace_filter, and then one of
them is removed, the update to the function locations is not performed, and
the record keeping of the function states are corrupted, and causes an
ftrace_bug() to occur.

This is easily reproducable by adding two probes, removing one, and then
adding it back again.

In case of error, the function kthread_run() returns ERR_PTR()
and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check
should be replaced with IS_ERR().

<title>fs: Better permission checking for submounts</title>

commit 93faccbbfa958a9668d3ab4e30f38dd205cee8d8 upstream.

To support unprivileged users mounting filesystems two permission
checks have to be performed: a test to see if the user allowed to
create a mount in the mount namespace, and a test to see if
the user is allowed to access the specified filesystem.

The automount case is special in that mounting the original filesystem
grants permission to mount the sub-filesystems, to any user who
happens to stumble across the their mountpoint and satisfies the
ordinary filesystem permission checks.

Attempting to handle the automount case by using override_creds
almost works.  It preserves the idea that permission to mount
the original filesystem is permission to mount the sub-filesystem.
Unfortunately using override_creds messes up the filesystems
ordinary permission checks.

Solve this by being explicit that a mount is a submount by introducing
vfs_submount, and using it where appropriate.

vfs_submount uses a new mount internal mount flags MS_SUBMOUNT, to let
sget and friends know that a mount is a submount so they can take appropriate
action.

sget and sget_userns are modified to not perform any permission checks
on submounts.

follow_automount is modified to stop using override_creds as that
has proven problemantic.

do_mount is modified to always remove the new MS_SUBMOUNT flag so
that we know userspace will never by able to specify it.

autofs4 is modified to stop using current_real_cred that was put in
there to handle the previous version of submount permission checking.

cifs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to vfs_submount.

debugfs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to
trace_automount by adding a new parameter.  To make this change easier
a new typedef debugfs_automount_t is introduced to capture the type of
the debugfs automount function.

autofs4 is modified to stop using current_real_cred that was put in
there to handle the previous version of submount permission checking.

cifs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to vfs_submount.

debugfs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to
trace_automount by adding a new parameter.  To make this change easier
a new typedef debugfs_automount_t is introduced to capture the type of
the debugfs automount function.

commit 79c6f448c8b79c321e4a1f31f98194e4f6b6cae7 upstream.

The hwlat tracer creates a kernel thread at start of the tracer. It is
pinned to a single CPU and will move to the next CPU after each period of
running. If the user modifies the migration thread's affinity, it will not
change after that happens.

The original code created the thread at the first instance it was called,
but later was changed to destroy the thread after the tracer was finished,
and would not be created until the next instance of the tracer was
established. The code that initialized the affinity was only called on the
initial instantiation of the tracer. After that, it was not initialized, and
the previous affinity did not match the current newly created one, making
it appear that the user modified the thread's affinity when it did not, and
the thread failed to migrate again.

<title>fgraph: Handle a case where a tracer ignores set_graph_notrace</title>

commit 794de08a16cf1fc1bf785dc48f66d36218cf6d88 upstream.

Both the wakeup and irqsoff tracers can use the function graph tracer when
the display-graph option is set. The problem is that they ignore the notrace
file, and record the entry of functions that would be ignored by the
function_graph tracer. This causes the trace-&gt;depth to be recorded into the
ring buffer. The set_graph_notrace uses a trick by adding a large negative
number to the trace-&gt;depth when a graph function is to be ignored.

On trace output, the graph function uses the depth to record a stack of
functions. But since the depth is negative, it accesses the array with a
negative number and causes an out of bounds access that can cause a kernel
oops or corrupt data.

Have the print functions handle cases where a tracer still records functions
even when they are in set_graph_notrace.

Also add warnings if the depth is below zero before accessing the array.

Note, the function graph logic will still prevent the return of these
functions from being recorded, which means that they will be left hanging
without a return. For example:

   # echo '*spin*' &gt; set_graph_notrace
   # echo 1 &gt; options/display-graph
   # echo wakeup &gt; current_tracer
   # cat trace
   [...]
      _raw_spin_lock() {
        preempt_count_add() {
        do_raw_spin_lock() {
      update_rq_clock();

Where it should look like:

      _raw_spin_lock() {
        preempt_count_add();
        do_raw_spin_lock();
      }
      update_rq_clock();

<title>ftrace: Add more checks for FTRACE_FL_DISABLED in processing ip records</title>

When a module is first loaded and its function ip records are added to the
ftrace list of functions to modify, they are set to DISABLED, as their text
is still in a read only state. When the module is fully loaded, and can be
updated, the flag is cleared, and if their's any functions that should be
tracing them, it is updated at that moment.

But there's several locations that do record accounting and should ignore
records that are marked as disabled, or they can cause issues.

Alexei already fixed one location, but others need to be addressed.

<title>ftrace: Ignore FTRACE_FL_DISABLED while walking dyn_ftrace records</title>

ftrace_shutdown() checks for sanity of ftrace records
and if dyn_ftrace-&gt;flags is not zero, it will warn.
It can happen that 'flags' are set to FTRACE_FL_DISABLED at this point,
since some module was loaded, but before ftrace_module_enable()
cleared the flags for this module.

In other words the module.c is doing:
ftrace_module_init(mod); // calls ftrace_update_code() that sets flags=FTRACE_FL_DISABLED
... // here ftrace_shutdown() is called that warns, since
err = prepare_coming_module(mod); // didn't have a chance to clear FTRACE_FL_DISABLED

Fix it by ignoring disabled records.
It's similar to what __ftrace_hash_rec_update() is already doing.

<title>Disable the __builtin_return_address() warning globally after all</title>

This affectively reverts commit 377ccbb48373 ("Makefile: Mute warning
for __builtin_return_address(&gt;0) for tracing only") because it turns out
that it really isn't tracing only - it's all over the tree.

We already also had the warning disabled separately for mm/usercopy.c
(which this commit also removes), and it turns out that we will also
want to disable it for get_lock_parent_ip(), that is used for at least
TRACE_IRQFLAGS.  Which (when enabled) ends up being all over the tree.

Steven Rostedt had a patch that tried to limit it to just the config
options that actually triggered this, but quite frankly, the extra
complexity and abstraction just isn't worth it.  We have never actually
had a case where the warning is actually useful, so let's just disable
it globally and not worry about it.
