[ Upstream commit 50fd6dd755c6e48a38af2fa4621167eea56829c2 ]

user_event_mm_dup() walks the parent mm's enabler list locklessly under
rcu_read_lock() during fork() (from copy_process()); it does not take
event_mutex:

	rcu_read_lock();
	list_for_each_entry_rcu(enabler, &amp;old_mm-&gt;enablers, mm_enablers_link)
		enabler-&gt;event = user_event_get(orig-&gt;event);

user_event_enabler_destroy() removes an enabler from that list with
list_del_rcu() and then, without waiting for a grace period, drops the
enabler's user_event reference with user_event_put() and frees the enabler
with kfree(). A reader that loaded the enabler before the list_del_rcu()
can still be walking it, which leads to two use-after-frees:

 - kfree(enabler) frees the enabler while that reader dereferences
   enabler-&gt;event.

 - user_event_put() may drop the last reference to the user_event, which
   is then freed (via delayed_destroy_user_event() on a work queue), while
   the same reader does user_event_get(orig-&gt;event) on it.

Both are reachable by an unprivileged task that can open user_events_data:
one multithreaded process that registers an enabler and then concurrently
unregisters it and calls fork() triggers the race. KASAN reports a
slab-use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup() during clone(), with a
"refcount_t: addition on 0" warning when the user_event is freed.

The enabler use-after-free was found first; the user_event one was reported
by XIAO WU, and the earlier enabler-only fix did not address it.

Defer both the user_event_put() and the kfree(enabler) to a work item
queued with queue_rcu_work(), so they run only after an RCU grace period,
once all readers walking the enabler list have finished. The put must run
in process context because user_event_put() takes event_mutex on the last
reference, so a work queue is used rather than call_rcu(). The now-unlocked
put lets the locked argument of user_event_enabler_destroy() be removed;
all callers are updated.

<title>ftrace: Add global mutex to serialize trace_parser access</title>

commit 7720b63bcef3f54c7fe288774b720a227d54a306 upstream.

In ftrace, the trace_parser structure is allocated and initialized when
a trace file is opened, and is subsequently used across write and release
handlers to parse user input.

The affected handler paths and their specific functions are:
  - Open paths: ftrace_regex_open(), ftrace_graph_open()
  - Write paths: ftrace_regex_write(), ftrace_graph_write()
  - Release paths: ftrace_regex_release(), ftrace_graph_release()

If userspace opens a trace file descriptor and shares it across multiple
threads, concurrent write calls will race on the parser's internal state,
specifically the 'idx', 'cont', and 'buffer' fields, leading to corrupted
input or undefined behavior.

Fix this by adding a global mutex, parser_lock, to serialize all access
to trace_parser across write and release paths, preventing concurrent
corruption of parser state.

commit a9d6fb284039a5d3858a1d9f9a0d7e46cfb7c2d4 upstream.

If trace_probe_log.argc is 0 in __trace_probe_log_err(), the loop
constructing the command string will not execute and p will remain equal to
command. Writing to *(p - 1) will cause an out-of-bounds access before
command. This should not happen, but better to be treated.

Reject if trace_probe_log.argc is 0.

commit 8ce20bfba48902e1382187cd1a852f7cf3a1e739 upstream.

In __set_print_fmt(), LEN_OR_ZERO is defined as (len ? len - pos : 0).
If len is non-zero but smaller than pos, len - pos evaluates to a negative
integer. When passed as a size argument to snprintf(), this negative value
is cast to a large unsigned size_t, bypassing buffer size limits.

Ensure len &gt; pos before subtracting to avoid integer underflow.

commit 15f197856d68882af9416fc97516bb55079b7677 upstream.

In trace_probe_match_command_args(), a stack buffer buf[MAX_ARGSTR_LEN + 1]
(256 bytes) is used to format "&lt;name&gt;=&lt;comm&gt;". However, since name can
be up to 32 bytes (MAX_ARG_NAME_LEN) and comm up to 255 bytes
(MAX_ARGSTR_LEN), the formatted string can exceed 256 bytes and get
truncated by snprintf(), causing spurious argument matching failures.

Instead of formatting into a temporary buffer on stack, compare the
argument name, the '=' delimiter, and the comm expression directly.

commit f418d68d71fd4a0a9cef92377bc8c4c3334b5b53 upstream.

eprobe_dyn_event_match() checks if the target event system in argv[0]
matches ep-&gt;event_system using strncmp(ep-&gt;event_system, argv[0], len).
However, if ep-&gt;event_system is longer than len (e.g. "eprobes" vs
"ep/event"), strncmp() still returns 0 because the first len characters
match.

Check that ep-&gt;event_system[len] is '\0' to ensure exact system name
matching.

<title>tracing: Fix resource leak on mmiotrace trace_pipe close</title>

<id>f9e6dfe341fb31c95b9655eb6b1db8b3ae090817</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c1d87e724ae55e781b7cc7ccafb34d9e668582b2 upstream.

The mmiotrace tracer was added May 12th 2008. At that time, resources
created in pipe_open() could not be freed because there was not
pipe_close function pointer of the tracer. The pipe_close function pointer
was added in December 7th, 2009, but the mmiotrace tracer was not updated.

mmio_pipe_open() allocates a header_iter and takes a pci_dev reference
when trace_pipe is opened. mmio_close() frees them, but it was only
wired to the tracer's .close callback.

tracing_release_pipe() invokes .pipe_close, not .close, when the
trace_pipe file is released. As a result, closing trace_pipe with the
mmiotrace tracer active leaked the header_iter allocation and left a
stale pci_dev reference.

Set .pipe_close to mmio_close, matching how function_graph wires both
callbacks to the same handler.

Note, if the trace_pipe is read to completion, it will clean up the
resources, but if one were to run:

  # head -n 1 /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe
 VERSION 20070824

Over and over again, it would trigger a massive leak.

commit c1d87e724ae55e781b7cc7ccafb34d9e668582b2 upstream.

The mmiotrace tracer was added May 12th 2008. At that time, resources
created in pipe_open() could not be freed because there was not
pipe_close function pointer of the tracer. The pipe_close function pointer
was added in December 7th, 2009, but the mmiotrace tracer was not updated.

mmio_pipe_open() allocates a header_iter and takes a pci_dev reference
when trace_pipe is opened. mmio_close() frees them, but it was only
wired to the tracer's .close callback.

tracing_release_pipe() invokes .pipe_close, not .close, when the
trace_pipe file is released. As a result, closing trace_pipe with the
mmiotrace tracer active leaked the header_iter allocation and left a
stale pci_dev reference.

Set .pipe_close to mmio_close, matching how function_graph wires both
callbacks to the same handler.

Note, if the trace_pipe is read to completion, it will clean up the
resources, but if one were to run:

  # head -n 1 /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe
 VERSION 20070824

Over and over again, it would trigger a massive leak.

commit 144f29e85702234b23d2a62abf723e6a17eb5427 upstream.

If the mmio_pipe_open() fails to find a PCI device, the hiter-&gt;dev
will be assigned to NULL. The mmiotrace read() function dereferences the
hiter-&gt;dev if hiter exists.

Change the test of the read to not only check hiter being NULL, but also
the hiter-&gt;dev before dereferencing it.

<title>bitops: make BYTES_TO_BITS() treewide-available</title>

[ Upstream commit 7d8296b250f2eed73f1758607926d4d258dea5d4 ]

Avoid open-coding that simple expression each time by moving
BYTES_TO_BITS() from the probes code to &lt;linux/bitops.h&gt; to export
it to the rest of the kernel.
Simplify the macro while at it. `BITS_PER_LONG / sizeof(long)` always
equals to %BITS_PER_BYTE, regardless of the target architecture.
Do the same for the tools ecosystem as well (incl. its version of
bitops.h). The previous implementation had its implicit type of long,
while the new one is int, so adjust the format literal accordingly in
the perf code.

commit fe58f457ad8d0a2bef4e053cfecca4b5cd266b1a upstream.

This ensures that any RCU readers traversing the instance list
have finished, before releasing the reference on the tracer that
the instance points to.
