tracing/filters: Fix false positive match in regex_match_full()

2026-08-09T18:21:55+00:00

commit c22c7b735f9810ad276014f788f9aa5c879ec238 upstream.

regex_match_full() calls strncmp(str, r->pattern, len) where len is the
target field buffer size. When len is smaller than r->len (the filter
pattern length), strncmp() checks only len bytes of r->pattern against
str. If those len bytes match, strncmp() returns 0, resulting in a
false-positive match where a shorter string in a fixed-size field
matches a longer filter pattern.

For example, a 4-byte static string field containing "abcd" matched the
filter pattern "abcdefgh" because strncmp("abcd", "abcdefgh", 4)
returned 0. In this case, @len does NOT include '\0' because it is
fixed-size array.

Fix this by returning 0 (no match) early when len < r->len.

tracing: Check return value of __register_event() in trace_module_add_events()

2026-08-09T18:21:54+00:00

commit ac8719969e6c3c54e939834df812bc41f25453cf upstream.

trace_module_add_events() ignores the return value of __register_event()
and unconditionally calls __add_event_to_tracers() for each event.

If __register_event() fails (for example, if event_init() fails), the
trace_event_call is not added to ftrace_events list, but
__add_event_to_tracers() still creates a trace_event_file pointing to it.
If module loading subsequently fails and module memory is freed, tracing
state retains a stale trace_event_call pointer in trace_event_file,
leading to a use-after-free when tracefs or tracing subsystem operations
are later executed.

Fix this by checking the return value of __register_event() and only
calling __add_event_to_tracers() if event registration succeeded.

tracing/probes: Reject $arg0 in meta argument expansion

2026-08-09T18:21:51+00:00

commit 00a8ce2a2a9fa17674e1feec4d9105c1a5d6a419 upstream.

traceprobe_expand_meta_args() parses $argN with simple_strtoul() and
calls sprint_nth_btf_arg(n - 1, ...). For $arg0, n is 0 so the index is
-1. Because ctx->nr_params is signed, the "idx >= nr_params" guard in
sprint_nth_btf_arg() does not catch the negative index, and
ctx->params[-1].name_off is read out of bounds.

The normal per-argument path (parse_probe_vars()) already rejects
$arg0 via its argument-number check, but meta-argument expansion runs
before per-argument parsing and substitutes the value first, bypassing
that check.

Reject $arg0 explicitly during expansion.

tracing/mmiotrace: Reset dropped_count in mmio_reset_data()

2026-08-09T18:21:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit c786d2bdf1f3964deee192ad942dee2a741c1e2c ]

mmio_reset_data() is called during tracer initialization, reset, and
start. While it resets overrun_detected and prev_overruns, it neglects
to reset dropped_count. Consequently, dropped event counts from prior
tracing sessions persist in dropped_count and corrupt overrun reports
in subsequent runs.

Fix this by explicitly calling atomic_set(&dropped_count, 0) in
mmio_reset_data().

tracing/user_events: Fix use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup()

2026-08-03T09:15:38+00:00

[ 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, &old_mm->enablers, mm_enablers_link)
		enabler->event = user_event_get(orig->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->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->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.

ftrace: Add global mutex to serialize trace_parser access

2026-08-03T09:15:30+00:00

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.

tracing/probes: Prevent out-of-bounds write in __trace_probe_log_err()

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.

tracing/probes: Fix potential underflow in LEN_OR_ZERO macro

2026-08-03T09:15:29+00:00

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 > pos before subtracting to avoid integer underflow.

tracing/probes: Avoid temporary buffer truncation in trace_probe_match_command_args()

2026-08-03T09:15:29+00:00

commit 15f197856d68882af9416fc97516bb55079b7677 upstream.

In trace_probe_match_command_args(), a stack buffer buf[MAX_ARGSTR_LEN + 1]
(256 bytes) is used to format "=". 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.

tracing/eprobe: Fix exact system name matching in eprobe_dyn_event_match()

2026-08-03T09:15:29+00:00

commit f418d68d71fd4a0a9cef92377bc8c4c3334b5b53 upstream.

eprobe_dyn_event_match() checks if the target event system in argv[0]
matches ep->event_system using strncmp(ep->event_system, argv[0], len).
However, if ep->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->event_system[len] is '\0' to ensure exact system name
matching.
