commit 7433632c9ff68a991bd0bc38cabf354e9d2de410 upstream.

On some machines the number of listed CPUs may be bigger than the actual
CPUs that exist. The tracing subsystem allocates a per_cpu directory with
access to the per CPU ring buffer via a cpuX file. But to save space, the
ring buffer will only allocate buffers for online CPUs, even though the
CPU array will be as big as the nr_cpu_ids.

With the addition of waking waiters on the ring buffer when closing the
file, the ring_buffer_wake_waiters() now needs to make sure that the
buffer is allocated (with the irq_work allocated with it) before trying to
wake waiters, as it will cause a NULL pointer dereference.

While debugging this, I added a NULL check for the buffer itself (which is
OK to do), and also NULL pointer checks against buffer-&gt;buffers (which is
not fine, and will WARN) as well as making sure the CPU number passed in
is within the nr_cpu_ids (which is also not fine if it isn't).

commit 66f0919c953ef7b55e5ab94389a013da2ce80a2c upstream.

test_gen_kprobe_cmd() only free buf in fail path, hence buf will leak
when there is no failure. Move kfree(buf) from fail path to common path
to prevent the memleak. The same reason and solution in
test_gen_kretprobe_cmd().

<title>ftrace: Fix use-after-free for dynamic ftrace_ops</title>

commit 0e792b89e6800cd9cb4757a76a96f7ef3e8b6294 upstream.

KASAN reported a use-after-free with ftrace ops [1]. It was found from
vmcore that perf had registered two ops with the same content
successively, both dynamic. After unregistering the second ops, a
use-after-free occurred.

In ftrace_shutdown(), when the second ops is unregistered, the
FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS command is not set because there is another enabled
ops with the same content.  Also, both ops are dynamic and the ftrace
callback function is ftrace_ops_list_func, so the
FTRACE_UPDATE_TRACE_FUNC command will not be set. Eventually the value
of 'command' will be 0 and ftrace_shutdown() will skip the rcu
synchronization.

However, ftrace may be activated. When the ops is released, another CPU
may be accessing the ops.  Add the missing synchronization to fix this
problem.

[ Upstream commit a541a9559bb0a8ecc434de01d3e4826c32e8bb53 ]

The ftrace_boot_snapshot and alloc_snapshot cmdline options allocate the
snapshot buffer at boot up for use later. The ftrace_boot_snapshot in
particular requires the snapshot to be allocated because it will take a
snapshot at the end of boot up allowing to see the traces that happened
during boot so that it's not lost when user space takes over.

When a tracer is registered (started) there's a path that checks if it
requires the snapshot buffer or not, and if it does not and it was
allocated it will do a synchronization and free the snapshot buffer.

This is only required if the previous tracer was using it for "max
latency" snapshots, as it needs to make sure all max snapshots are
complete before freeing. But this is only needed if the previous tracer
was using the snapshot buffer for latency (like irqoff tracer and
friends). But it does not make sense to free it, if the previous tracer
was not using it, and the snapshot was allocated by the cmdline
parameters. This basically takes away the point of allocating it in the
first place!

Note, the allocated snapshot worked fine for just trace events, but fails
when a tracer is enabled on the cmdline.

Further investigation, this goes back even further and it does not require
a tracer on the cmdline to fail. Simply enable snapshots and then enable a
tracer, and it will remove the snapshot.

<title>tracing/osnoise: Fix possible recursive locking in stop_per_cpu_kthreads</title>

[ Upstream commit 99ee9317a1305cd5626736785c8cb38b0e47686c ]

There is a recursive lock on the cpu_hotplug_lock.

In kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c:&lt;start/stop&gt;_per_cpu_kthreads:
    - start_per_cpu_kthreads calls cpus_read_lock() and if
	start_kthreads returns a error it will call stop_per_cpu_kthreads.
    - stop_per_cpu_kthreads then calls cpus_read_lock() again causing
      deadlock.

Fix this by calling cpus_read_unlock() before calling
stop_per_cpu_kthreads. This behavior can also be seen in commit
f46b16520a08 ("trace/hwlat: Implement the per-cpu mode").

This error was noticed during the LTP ftrace-stress-test:

WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
--------------------------------------------

For now, this selftest module can only work in x86 because of the
kprobe cmd was fixed use of x86 registers.
This patch adapted to register names under arm and riscv, So that
this module can be worked on those platform.

<content type='text'>
commit 0934ae9977c27133449b6dd8c6213970e7eece38 upstream.

The follow commands caused a crash:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
  # echo 's:open char file[]' &gt; dynamic_events
  # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:file=filename:onchange($file).trace(open,$file)' &gt; events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/trigger'
  # echo 1 &gt; events/synthetic/open/enable

BOOM!

The problem is that the synthetic event field "char file[]" will read
the value given to it as a string without any memory checks to make sure
the address is valid. The above example will pass in the user space
address and the sythetic event code will happily call strlen() on it
and then strscpy() where either one will cause an oops when accessing
user space addresses.

Use the helper functions from trace_kprobe and trace_eprobe that can
read strings safely (and actually succeed when the address is from user
space and the memory is mapped in).

Now the above can show:

     packagekitd-1721    [000] ...2.   104.597170: open: file=/usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/cmake.attr

commit 2e9906f84fc7c99388bb7123ade167250d50f1c0 upstream.

Have the specific functions for kernel probes that read strings to inject
the "(fault)" name directly. trace_probes.c does this too (for uprobes)
but as the code to read strings are going to be used by synthetic events
(and perhaps other utilities), it simplifies the code by making sure those
other uses do not need to implement the "(fault)" name injection as well.

commit 2e9906f84fc7c99388bb7123ade167250d50f1c0 upstream.

Have the specific functions for kernel probes that read strings to inject
the "(fault)" name directly. trace_probes.c does this too (for uprobes)
but as the code to read strings are going to be used by synthetic events
(and perhaps other utilities), it simplifies the code by making sure those
other uses do not need to implement the "(fault)" name injection as well.
