commit c0591b1cccf708a47bc465c62436d669a4213323 upstream.

Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is responsible for freeing pages
backing buffered events and this process can run concurrently with
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve().

The following race is currently possible:

* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called on CPU 0. It
  increments trace_buffered_event_cnt on each CPU and waits via
  synchronize_rcu() for each user of trace_buffered_event to complete.

* After synchronize_rcu() is finished, function
  trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to
  trace_buffered_event. All counters trace_buffered_event_cnt are at 1
  and all pointers trace_buffered_event are still valid.

* At this point, on a different CPU 1, the execution reaches
  trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve(). The function calls
  preempt_disable_notrace() and only now enters an RCU read-side
  critical section. The function proceeds and reads a still valid
  pointer from trace_buffered_event[CPU1] into the local variable
  "entry". However, it doesn't yet read trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1]
  which happens later.

* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() continues. It frees
  trace_buffered_event[CPU1] and decrements
  trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] back to 0.

* Function trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() continues. It reads and
  increments trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] from 0 to 1. This makes it
  believe that it can use the "entry" that it already obtained but the
  pointer is now invalid and any access results in a use-after-free.

Fix the problem by making a second synchronize_rcu() call after all
trace_buffered_event values are set to NULL. This waits on all potential
users in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() that still read a previous
pointer from trace_buffered_event.

commit 7fed14f7ac9cf5e38c693836fe4a874720141845 upstream.

The following warning appears when using buffered events:

For instance, it can be triggered by running these two commands in
parallel:

 $ while true; do
    echo hist:key=id.syscall:val=hitcount &gt; \
      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger;
  done
 $ stress-ng --sysinfo $(nproc)

The warning indicates that the current ring_buffer_per_cpu is not in the
committing state. It happens because the active ring_buffer_event
doesn't actually come from the ring_buffer_per_cpu but is allocated from
trace_buffered_event.

The bug is in function trace_buffered_event_disable() where the
following normally happens:

* The code invokes disable_trace_buffered_event() via
  smp_call_function_many() and follows it by synchronize_rcu(). This
  increments the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event_cnt on each
  target CPU and grants trace_buffered_event_disable() the exclusive
  access to the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event.

* Maintenance is performed on trace_buffered_event, all per-CPU event
  buffers get freed.

* The code invokes enable_trace_buffered_event() via
  smp_call_function_many(). This decrements trace_buffered_event_cnt and
  releases the access to trace_buffered_event.

A problem is that smp_call_function_many() runs a given function on all
target CPUs except on the current one. The following can then occur:

* Task X executing trace_buffered_event_disable() runs on CPU 0.

* The control reaches synchronize_rcu() and the task gets rescheduled on
  another CPU 1.

* The RCU synchronization finishes. At this point,
  trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to all
  trace_buffered_event variables except trace_buffered_event[CPU0]
  because trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is never incremented and if the
  buffer is currently unused, remains set to 0.

* A different task Y is scheduled on CPU 0 and hits a trace event. The
  code in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() sees that
  trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is set to 0 and decides the use the
  buffer provided by trace_buffered_event[CPU0].

* Task X continues its execution in trace_buffered_event_disable(). The
  code incorrectly frees the event buffer pointed by
  trace_buffered_event[CPU0] and resets the variable to NULL.

* Task Y writes event data to the now freed buffer and later detects the
  created inconsistency.

The issue is observable since commit dea499781a11 ("tracing: Fix warning
in trace_buffered_event_disable()") which moved the call of
trace_buffered_event_disable() in __ftrace_event_enable_disable()
earlier, prior to invoking call-&gt;class-&gt;reg(.. TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER ..).
The underlying problem in trace_buffered_event_disable() is however
present since the original implementation in commit 0fc1b09ff1ff
("tracing: Use temp buffer when filtering events").

Fix the problem by replacing the two smp_call_function_many() calls with
on_each_cpu_mask() which invokes a given callback on all CPUs.

commit b538bf7d0ec11ca49f536dfda742a5f6db90a798 upstream.

It use to be that only the top level instance had a snapshot buffer (for
latency tracers like wakeup and irqsoff). When stopping a tracer in an
instance would not disable the snapshot buffer. This could have some
unintended consequences if the irqsoff tracer is enabled.

Consolidate the tracing_start/stop() with tracing_start/stop_tr() so that
all instances behave the same. The tracing_start/stop() functions will
just call their respective tracing_start/stop_tr() with the global_array
passed in.

commit d78ab792705c7be1b91243b2544d1a79406a2ad7 upstream.

When the ring buffer is being resized, it can cause side effects to the
running tracer. For instance, there's a race with irqsoff tracer that
swaps individual per cpu buffers between the main buffer and the snapshot
buffer. The resize operation modifies the main buffer and then the
snapshot buffer. If a swap happens in between those two operations it will
break the tracer.

Simply stop the running tracer before resizing the buffers and enable it
again when finished.

<title>tracing: Always update snapshot buffer size</title>

commit 7be76461f302ec05cbd62b90b2a05c64299ca01f upstream.

It use to be that only the top level instance had a snapshot buffer (for
latency tracers like wakeup and irqsoff). The update of the ring buffer
size would check if the instance was the top level and if so, it would
also update the snapshot buffer as it needs to be the same as the main
buffer.

Now that lower level instances also has a snapshot buffer, they too need
to update their snapshot buffer sizes when the main buffer is changed,
otherwise the following can be triggered:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # echo 1500 &gt; buffer_size_kb
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # echo irqsoff &gt; instances/foo/current_tracer
 # echo 1000 &gt; instances/foo/buffer_size_kb

Produces:

 WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 856 at kernel/trace/trace.c:1938 update_max_tr_single.part.0+0x27d/0x320

Which is:

	ret = ring_buffer_swap_cpu(tr-&gt;max_buffer.buffer, tr-&gt;array_buffer.buffer, cpu);

	if (ret == -EBUSY) {
		[..]
	}

	WARN_ON_ONCE(ret &amp;&amp; ret != -EAGAIN &amp;&amp; ret != -EBUSY);  &lt;== here

That's because ring_buffer_swap_cpu() has:

	int ret = -EINVAL;

	[..]

	/* At least make sure the two buffers are somewhat the same */
	if (cpu_buffer_a-&gt;nr_pages != cpu_buffer_b-&gt;nr_pages)
		goto out;

	[..]
 out:
	return ret;
 }

Instead, update all instances' snapshot buffer sizes when their main
buffer size is updated.

<title>ring-buffer: Force absolute timestamp on discard of event</title>

commit b2dd797543cfa6580eac8408dd67fa02164d9e56 upstream.

There's a race where if an event is discarded from the ring buffer and an
interrupt were to happen at that time and insert an event, the time stamp
is still used from the discarded event as an offset. This can screw up the
timings.

If the event is going to be discarded, set the "before_stamp" to zero.
When a new event comes in, it compares the "before_stamp" with the
"write_stamp" and if they are not equal, it will insert an absolute
timestamp. This will prevent the timings from getting out of sync due to
the discarded event.

<title>ring-buffer: Test last update in 32bit version of __rb_time_read()</title>

commit f458a1453424e03462b5bb539673c9a3cddda480 upstream.

Since 64 bit cmpxchg() is very expensive on 32bit architectures, the
timestamp used by the ring buffer does some interesting tricks to be able
to still have an atomic 64 bit number. It originally just used 60 bits and
broke it up into two 32 bit words where the extra 2 bits were used for
synchronization. But this was not enough for all use cases, and all 64
bits were required.

The 32bit version of the ring buffer timestamp was then broken up into 3
32bit words using the same counter trick. But one update was not done. The
check to see if the read operation was done without interruption only
checked the first two words and not last one (like it had before this
update). Fix it by making sure all three updates happen without
interruption by comparing the initial counter with the last updated
counter.

commit a1461f1fd6cfdc4b8917c9d4a91e92605d1f28dc upstream.

Since the rethook::handler is an RCU-maganged pointer so that it will
notice readers the rethook is stopped (unregistered) or not, it should
be an __rcu pointer and use appropriate functions to be accessed. This
will use appropriate memory barrier when accessing it. OTOH,
rethook::data is never changed, so we don't need to check it in
get_kretprobe().

NOTE: To avoid sparse warning, rethook::handler is defined by a raw
function pointer type with __rcu instead of rethook_handler_t.

<title>tracing: Fix a warning when allocating buffered events fails</title>

[ Upstream commit 34209fe83ef8404353f91ab4ea4035dbc9922d04 ]

Function trace_buffered_event_disable() produces an unexpected warning
when the previous call to trace_buffered_event_enable() fails to
allocate pages for buffered events.

The situation can occur as follows:

* The counter trace_buffered_event_ref is at 0.

* The soft mode gets enabled for some event and
  trace_buffered_event_enable() is called. The function increments
  trace_buffered_event_ref to 1 and starts allocating event pages.

* The allocation fails for some page and trace_buffered_event_disable()
  is called for cleanup.

* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() decrements

[ Upstream commit 34209fe83ef8404353f91ab4ea4035dbc9922d04 ]

Function trace_buffered_event_disable() produces an unexpected warning
when the previous call to trace_buffered_event_enable() fails to
allocate pages for buffered events.

The situation can occur as follows:

* The counter trace_buffered_event_ref is at 0.

* The soft mode gets enabled for some event and
  trace_buffered_event_enable() is called. The function increments
  trace_buffered_event_ref to 1 and starts allocating event pages.

* The allocation fails for some page and trace_buffered_event_disable()
  is called for cleanup.

* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() decrements
  trace_buffered_event_ref back to 0, recognizes that it was the last
  use of buffered events and frees all allocated pages.

* The control goes back to trace_buffered_event_enable() which returns.
  The caller of trace_buffered_event_enable() has no information that
  the function actually failed.

* Some time later, the soft mode is disabled for the same event.
  Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called. It warns on
  "WARN_ON_ONCE(!trace_buffered_event_ref)" and returns.

Buffered events are just an optimization and can handle failures. Make
trace_buffered_event_enable() exit on the first failure and left any
cleanup later to when trace_buffered_event_disable() is called.

<title>tracing: fprobe-event: Fix to check tracepoint event and return</title>

commit ce51e6153f7781bcde0f8bb4c81d6fd85ee422e6 upstream.

Fix to check the tracepoint event is not valid with $retval.
The commit 08c9306fc2e3 ("tracing/fprobe-event: Assume fprobe is
a return event by $retval") introduced automatic return probe
conversion with $retval. But since tracepoint event does not
support return probe, $retval is not acceptable.

Without this fix, ftracetest, tprobe_syntax_errors.tc fails;

[22] Tracepoint probe event parser error log check      [FAIL]
 ----
 # tail 22-tprobe_syntax_errors.tc-log.mRKroL
 + ftrace_errlog_check trace_fprobe t kfree ^$retval dynamic_events
 + printf %s t kfree
 + wc -c
 + pos=8
 + printf %s t kfree ^$retval
 + tr -d ^
 + command=t kfree $retval
 + echo Test command: t kfree $retval
 Test command: t kfree $retval
 + echo
 ----

So 't kfree $retval' should fail (tracepoint doesn't support
return probe) but passed it.
