<title>tracing/kprobes: Skip symbol counting logic for module symbols in create_local_trace_kprobe()</title>

commit b022f0c7e404 ("tracing/kprobes: Return EADDRNOTAVAIL when func matches several symbols")
avoids checking number_of_same_symbols() for module symbol in
__trace_kprobe_create(), but create_local_trace_kprobe() should avoid this
check too. Doing this check leads to ENOENT for module_name:symbol_name
constructions passed over perf_event_open.

No bug in newer kernels as it was fixed more generally by
commit 9d8616034f16 ("tracing/kprobes: Add symbol counting check when module loads")

<title>bpf,perf: Fix invalid prog_array access in perf_event_detach_bpf_prog</title>

commit 978c4486cca5c7b9253d3ab98a88c8e769cb9bbd upstream.

Syzbot reported [1] crash that happens for following tracing scenario:

  - create tracepoint perf event with attr.inherit=1, attach it to the
    process and set bpf program to it
  - attached process forks -&gt; chid creates inherited event

    the new child event shares the parent's bpf program and tp_event
    (hence prog_array) which is global for tracepoint

  - exit both process and its child -&gt; release both events
  - first perf_event_detach_bpf_prog call will release tp_event-&gt;prog_array
    and second perf_event_detach_bpf_prog will crash, because
    tp_event-&gt;prog_array is NULL

The fix makes sure the perf_event_detach_bpf_prog checks prog_array
is valid before it tries to remove the bpf program from it.

<title>bpf: Fix theoretical prog_array UAF in __uprobe_perf_func()</title>

commit 7d0d673627e20cfa3b21a829a896ce03b58a4f1c upstream.

Currently, the pointer stored in call-&gt;prog_array is loaded in
__uprobe_perf_func(), with no RCU annotation and no immediately visible
RCU protection, so it looks as if the loaded pointer can immediately be
dangling.
Later, bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() starts a RCU-trace read-side critical
section, but this is too late. It then uses rcu_dereference_check(), but
this use of rcu_dereference_check() does not actually dereference anything.

Fix it by aligning the semantics to bpf_prog_run_array(): Let the caller
provide rcu_read_lock_trace() protection and then load call-&gt;prog_array
with rcu_dereference_check().

This issue seems to be theoretical: I don't know of any way to reach this
code without having handle_swbp() further up the stack, which is already
holding a rcu_read_lock_trace() lock, so where we take
rcu_read_lock_trace() in __uprobe_perf_func()/bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe()
doesn't actually have any effect.

commit ef1b808e3b7c98612feceedf985c2fbbeb28f956 upstream.

Uprobes always use bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() under tasks-trace-RCU
protection. But it is possible to attach a non-sleepable BPF program to a
uprobe, and non-sleepable BPF programs are freed via normal RCU (see
__bpf_prog_put_noref()). This leads to UAF of the bpf_prog because a normal
RCU grace period does not imply a tasks-trace-RCU grace period.

Fix it by explicitly waiting for a tasks-trace-RCU grace period after
removing the attachment of a bpf_prog to a perf_event.

In preparation for allowing system call enter/exit instrumentation to
handle page faults, make sure that ftrace can handle this change by
explicitly disabling preemption within the ftrace system call tracepoint
probes to respect the current expectations within ftrace ring buffer
code.

This change does not yet allow ftrace to take page faults per se within
its probe, but allows its existing probes to adapt to the upcoming

commit e63fbd5f6810ed756bbb8a1549c7d4132968baa9 upstream.

The cmp_entries_dup() function used as the comparator for sort()
violated the symmetry and transitivity properties required by the
sorting algorithm. Specifically, it returned 1 whenever memcmp() was
non-zero, which broke the following expectations:

* Symmetry: If x &lt; y, then y &gt; x.
* Transitivity: If x &lt; y and y &lt; z, then x &lt; z.

These violations could lead to incorrect sorting and failure to
correctly identify duplicate elements.

Fix the issue by directly returning the result of memcmp(), which
adheres to the required comparison properties.

commit 45af52e7d3b8560f21d139b3759735eead8b1653 upstream.

When executing the following command:

    # echo "write*:mod:ext3" &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter

The current mod command causes a null pointer dereference. While commit
0f17976568b3f ("ftrace: Fix regression with module command in stack_trace_filter")
has addressed part of the issue, it left a corner case unhandled, which still
results in a kernel crash.

[ Upstream commit afe5960dc208fe069ddaaeb0994d857b24ac19d1 ]

When a tracepoint event is created with attr.freq = 1,
'hwc-&gt;period_left' is not initialized correctly. As a result,
in the perf_swevent_overflow() function, when the first time the event occurs,
it calculates the event overflow and the perf_swevent_set_period() returns 3,
this leads to the event are recorded for three duplicate times.

Step to reproduce:
    1. Enable the tracepoint event &amp; starting tracing
         $ echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/module/module_free
         $ echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on

    2. Record with perf
         $ perf record -a --strict-freq -F 1 -e "module:module_free"

    3. Trigger module_free event.
         $ modprobe -i sunrpc
         $ modprobe -r sunrpc

Result:
     - Trace pipe result:
         $ cat trace_pipe
         modprobe-174509  [003] .....  6504.868896: module_free: sunrpc

     - perf sample:
         modprobe  174509 [003]  6504.868980: module:module_free: sunrpc
         modprobe  174509 [003]  6504.868980: module:module_free: sunrpc
         modprobe  174509 [003]  6504.868980: module:module_free: sunrpc

By setting period_left via perf_swevent_set_period() as other sw_event did,
This problem could be solved.

After patch:
     - Trace pipe result:
         $ cat trace_pipe
         modprobe 1153096 [068] 613468.867774: module:module_free: xfs

     - perf sample
         modprobe 1153096 [068] 613468.867794: module:module_free: xfs
