[ Upstream commit 9d52727f8043cfda241ae96896628d92fa9c50bb ]

If a trace instance has a failure with its snapshot code, the error
message is to be written to that instance's buffer. But currently, the
message is written to the top level buffer. Worse yet, it may also disable
the top level buffer and not the instance that had the issue.

[ Upstream commit d503b8f7474fe7ac616518f7fc49773cbab49f36 ]

Add a generic trace_array_puts() that can be used to "trace_puts()" into
an allocated trace_array instance. This is just another variant of
trace_array_printk().

<title>ring-buffer: Fix race while reader and writer are on the same page</title>

commit 6455b6163d8c680366663cdb8c679514d55fc30c upstream.

When user reads file 'trace_pipe', kernel keeps printing following logs
that warn at "cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page-&gt;read &gt; rb_page_size(reader)" in
rb_get_reader_page(). It just looks like there's an infinite loop in
tracing_read_pipe(). This problem occurs several times on arm64 platform
when testing v5.10 and below.

  Call trace:
   rb_get_reader_page+0x248/0x1300
   rb_buffer_peek+0x34/0x160
   ring_buffer_peek+0xbc/0x224
   peek_next_entry+0x98/0xbc
   __find_next_entry+0xc4/0x1c0
   trace_find_next_entry_inc+0x30/0x94
   tracing_read_pipe+0x198/0x304
   vfs_read+0xb4/0x1e0
   ksys_read+0x74/0x100
   __arm64_sys_read+0x24/0x30
   el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x7c/0x1bc
   do_el0_svc+0x2c/0x94
   el0_svc+0x20/0x30
   el0_sync_handler+0xb0/0xb4
   el0_sync+0x160/0x180

Then I dump the vmcore and look into the problematic per_cpu ring_buffer,
I found that tail_page/commit_page/reader_page are on the same page while
reader_page-&gt;read is obviously abnormal:
  tail_page == commit_page == reader_page == {
    .write = 0x100d20,
    .read = 0x8f9f4805,  // Far greater than 0xd20, obviously abnormal!!!
    .entries = 0x10004c,
    .real_end = 0x0,
    .page = {
      .time_stamp = 0x857257416af0,
      .commit = 0xd20,  // This page hasn't been full filled.
      // .data[0...0xd20] seems normal.
    }
 }

The root cause is most likely the race that reader and writer are on the
same page while reader saw an event that not fully committed by writer.

To fix this, add memory barriers to make sure the reader can see the
content of what is committed. Since commit a0fcaaed0c46 ("ring-buffer: Fix
race between reset page and reading page") has added the read barrier in
rb_get_reader_page(), here we just need to add the write barrier.

The lastcmd_mutex is only used in trace_events_synth.c and should be

that occurred in the instance needs to be freed. The following reports a

removed.

The problem is that the error log needs to be freed when the instance is
removed.

commit d3cba7f02cd82118c32651c73374d8a5a459d9a6 upstream.

osnoise/timerlat tracers are reporting new max latency on instances
where the tracing is off, creating inconsistencies between the max
reported values in the trace and in the tracing_max_latency. Thus
only report new tracing_max_latency on active tracing instances.

<title>tracing/timerlat: Notify new max thread latency</title>

commit b9f451a9029a16eb7913ace09b92493d00f2e564 upstream.

timerlat is not reporting a new tracing_max_latency for the thread
latency. The reason is that it is not calling notify_new_max_latency()
function after the new thread latency is sampled.

Call notify_new_max_latency() after computing the thread latency.

<title>tracing/synthetic: Fix races on freeing last_cmd</title>

commit 4ccf11c4e8a8e051499d53a12f502196c97a758e upstream.

Currently, the "last_cmd" variable can be accessed by multiple processes
asynchronously when multiple users manipulate synthetic_events node
at the same time, it could lead to use-after-free or double-free.

This patch add "lastcmd_mutex" to prevent "last_cmd" from being accessed
asynchronously.

================================================================

It's easy to reproduce in the KASAN environment by running the two
scripts below in different shells.

script 1:
        while :
        do
                echo -n -e '\x88' &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
        done

script 2:
        while :
        do
                echo -n -e '\xb0' &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
        done

================================================================
double-free scenario:

    process A                       process B
-------------------               ---------------
1.kstrdup last_cmd
                                  2.free last_cmd
3.free last_cmd(double-free)

================================================================
use-after-free scenario:

    process A                       process B
-------------------               ---------------
1.kstrdup last_cmd
                                  2.free last_cmd
3.tracing_log_err(use-after-free)

<title>ftrace: Fix issue that 'direct-&gt;addr' not restored in modify_ftrace_direct()</title>

commit 2a2d8c51defb446e8d89a83f42f8e5cd529111e9 upstream.

Syzkaller report a WARNING: "WARN_ON(!direct)" in modify_ftrace_direct().

Root cause is 'direct-&gt;addr' was changed from 'old_addr' to 'new_addr' but
not restored if error happened on calling ftrace_modify_direct_caller().
Then it can no longer find 'direct' by that 'old_addr'.

To fix it, restore 'direct-&gt;addr' to 'old_addr' explicitly in error path.

commit 2a2d8c51defb446e8d89a83f42f8e5cd529111e9 upstream.

Syzkaller report a WARNING: "WARN_ON(!direct)" in modify_ftrace_direct().

Root cause is 'direct-&gt;addr' was changed from 'old_addr' to 'new_addr' but
not restored if error happened on calling ftrace_modify_direct_caller().
Then it can no longer find 'direct' by that 'old_addr'.

To fix it, restore 'direct-&gt;addr' to 'old_addr' explicitly in error path.

[ Upstream commit bc4f359b3b607daac0290d0038561237a86b38cb ]

Overwriting the error code with the deletion result may cause the
function to return 0 despite encountering an error. Commit b111545d26c0
("tracing: Remove the useless value assignment in
test_create_synth_event()") solves a similar issue by
returning the original error code, so this patch does the same.
