[ Upstream commit f27bdc43077e4fcb5557dfc315ee8d91e741f483 ]

The ring_buffer_swap_cpu() function currently checks the per-CPU
committing counter to determine if a buffer is actively being written to
before performing the swap. However, there exists a race window where
this check can be bypassed:

    ring_buffer_lock_reserve
        cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu];       // cpu_buffer_a
        rb_reserve_next_event
            rb_start_commit // inc committing
            if (unlikely(READ_ONCE(cpu_buffer->buffer) != buffer)) {...}
            __rb_reserve_next
                rb_move_tail
                    rb_end_commit(cpu_buffer);   // dec committing => 0
                    /* interrupt hits here, successfully swaps! */
                    local_inc(&cpu_buffer->committing);

    ring_buffer_unlock_commit
        cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu];      // cpu_buffer_b
        rb_commit
            rb_end_commit
            RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, !local_read(&cpu_buffer->committing))
                                                // triggers warning

The committing counter can temporarily drop to 0 during a single write
operation (within rb_move_tail), creating a window where swap can
succeed even though the write is still in progress. This leads to
inconsistent buffer state and triggers the RB_WARN_ON in rb_commit().

Replace the committing counter check with current_context checks, which
are set at the entry of ring_buffer_lock_reserve() and remain valid
throughout the entire write operation, providing a reliable indicator of
buffer busy state during swap.

ftrace_free_mem() with a half-open [start, end) range.  However the
ftrace_cmp_recs() comparator treats the upper bound as inclusive, as all
its other users do, passing 'ip + size - 1'.  So ftrace_free_mem() can

that address is often the 'end' passed by a neighboring module's
do_init_module(), causing the first function's ftrace location to get
disabled, preventing an attempt to livepatch it:

  livepatch: failed to find location for function 'pcspkr_probe'

Convert the exclusive end to the inclusive 'end - 1' the comparator
expects, and return early for an empty range to avoid the subtraction
from underflowing when the init text size is zero.

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 Masami Hiramatsu (Google) mhiramat@kernel.org 2026-07-29T00:27:58+00:00 d61ee2a27dfd5eb43ddc18af40168f5b9eb1cea5 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.

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 Raushan Patel raushan.jhon@gmail.com 2026-07-24T05:44:35+00:00 451ee0f9ca1e1205500b51b036ce82b543efdc2a 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.

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.
