[ Upstream commit e569eb34970281438e2b48a3ef11c87459fcfbcb ]

btf_find_struct_member() might return NULL or an error via the
ERR_PTR() macro. However, its caller in parse_btf_field() only checks
for the NULL condition. Fix this by using IS_ERR() and returning the
error up the stack.

[ Upstream commit bd125a084091396f3e796bb3dc009940d9771811 ]

When the ABI was updated to prevent same name w/different args, it
missed an important corner case when fields don't end with a space.
Typically, space is used for fields to help separate them, like
"u8 field1; u8 field2". If no spaces are used, like
"u8 field1;u8 field2", then the parsing works for the first time.
However, the match check fails on a subsequent register, leading to
confusion.

This is because the match check uses argv_split() and assumes that all
fields will be split upon the space. When spaces are used, we get back
{ "u8", "field1;" }, without spaces we get back { "u8", "field1;u8" }.
This causes a mismatch, and the user program gets back -EADDRINUSE.

Add a method to detect this case before calling argv_split(). If found
force a space after the field separator character ';'. This ensures all
cases work properly for matching.

With this fix, the following are all treated as matching:
u8 field1;u8 field2
u8 field1; u8 field2
u8 field1;\tu8 field2
u8 field1;\nu8 field2

<title>ring-buffer: Fix a race between readers and resize checks</title>

commit c2274b908db05529980ec056359fae916939fdaa upstream.

The reader code in rb_get_reader_page() swaps a new reader page into the
ring buffer by doing cmpxchg on old-&gt;list.prev-&gt;next to point it to the
new page. Following that, if the operation is successful,
old-&gt;list.next-&gt;prev gets updated too. This means the underlying
doubly-linked list is temporarily inconsistent, page-&gt;prev-&gt;next or
page-&gt;next-&gt;prev might not be equal back to page for some page in the
ring buffer.

The resize operation in ring_buffer_resize() can be invoked in parallel.
It calls rb_check_pages() which can detect the described inconsistency
and stop further tracing:

Note that ring_buffer_resize() calls rb_check_pages() only if the parent
trace_buffer has recording disabled. Recent commit d78ab792705c
("tracing: Stop current tracer when resizing buffer") causes that it is
now always the case which makes it more likely to experience this issue.

The window to hit this race is nonetheless very small. To help
reproducing it, one can add a delay loop in rb_get_reader_page():

 ret = rb_head_page_replace(reader, cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page);
 if (!ret)
 	goto spin;
 for (unsigned i = 0; i &lt; 1U &lt;&lt; 26; i++)  /* inserted delay loop */
 	__asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory");
 rb_list_head(reader-&gt;list.next)-&gt;prev = &amp;cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page-&gt;list;

.. and then run the following commands on the target system:

 echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/enable
 while true; do
 	echo 16 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 	echo 8 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 done &amp;
 while true; do
 	for i in /sys/kernel/tracing/per_cpu/*; do
 		timeout 0.1 cat $i/trace_pipe; sleep 0.2
 	done
 done

To fix the problem, make sure ring_buffer_resize() doesn't invoke
rb_check_pages() concurrently with a reader operating on the same
ring_buffer_per_cpu by taking its cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_lock.

Note that ring_buffer_resize() calls rb_check_pages() only if the parent
trace_buffer has recording disabled. Recent commit d78ab792705c
("tracing: Stop current tracer when resizing buffer") causes that it is
now always the case which makes it more likely to experience this issue.

The window to hit this race is nonetheless very small. To help
reproducing it, one can add a delay loop in rb_get_reader_page():

 ret = rb_head_page_replace(reader, cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page);
 if (!ret)
 	goto spin;
 for (unsigned i = 0; i &lt; 1U &lt;&lt; 26; i++)  /* inserted delay loop */
 	__asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory");
 rb_list_head(reader-&gt;list.next)-&gt;prev = &amp;cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page-&gt;list;

.. and then run the following commands on the target system:

 echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/enable
 while true; do
 	echo 16 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 	echo 8 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 done &amp;
 while true; do
 	for i in /sys/kernel/tracing/per_cpu/*; do
 		timeout 0.1 cat $i/trace_pipe; sleep 0.2
 	done
 done

To fix the problem, make sure ring_buffer_resize() doesn't invoke
rb_check_pages() concurrently with a reader operating on the same
ring_buffer_per_cpu by taking its cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_lock.

commit e60b613df8b6253def41215402f72986fee3fc8d upstream.

KASAN reports a bug:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_location+0x90/0x120
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888141d40010 by task insmod/424

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x71/0x79

The root cause is that, in lookup_rec(), ftrace record of some address
is being searched in ftrace pages of some module, but those ftrace pages
at the same time is being freed in ftrace_release_mod() as the
corresponding module is being deleted:

           CPU1                       |      CPU2
  register_kprobes() {                | delete_module() {

      arch_check_ftrace_location() {  |
        ftrace_location() {           |
          lookup_rec() // USE!        |   ftrace_release_mod() // Free!

To fix this issue:
  1. Hold rcu lock as accessing ftrace pages in ftrace_location_range();
  2. Use ftrace_location_range() instead of lookup_rec() in
     ftrace_location();
  3. Call synchronize_rcu() before freeing any ftrace pages both in
     ftrace_process_locs()/ftrace_release_mod()/ftrace_free_mem().

<title>eventfs/tracing: Add callback for release of an eventfs_inode</title>

Synthetic events create and destroy tracefs files when they are created
and removed. The tracing subsystem has its own file descriptor
representing the state of the events attached to the tracefs files.
There's a race between the eventfs files and this file descriptor of the
tracing system where the following can cause an issue:

With two scripts 'A' and 'B' doing:

  Script 'A':
    echo "hello int aaa" &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
    while :
    do
      echo 0 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/hello/enable
    done

  Script 'B':
    echo &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events

Script 'A' creates a synthetic event "hello" and then just writes zero
into its enable file.

Script 'B' removes all synthetic events (including the newly created
"hello" event).

What happens is that the opening of the "enable" file has:

 {
	struct trace_event_file *file = inode-&gt;i_private;
	int ret;

	ret = tracing_check_open_get_tr(file-&gt;tr);
 [..]

But deleting the events frees the "file" descriptor, and a "use after
free" happens with the dereference at "file-&gt;tr".

The file descriptor does have a reference counter, but there needs to be a
way to decrement it from the eventfs when the eventfs_inode is removed
that represents this file descriptor.

Add an optional "release" callback to the eventfs_entry array structure,
that gets called when the eventfs file is about to be removed. This allows
for the creating on the eventfs file to increment the tracing file
descriptor ref counter. When the eventfs file is deleted, it can call the
release function that will call the put function for the tracing file
descriptor.

This will protect the tracing file from being freed while a eventfs file
that references it is being opened.

If traceprobe_parse_probe_arg_body() failed to allocate 'parg-&gt;fmt',
it jumps to the label 'out' instead of 'fail' by mistake.In the result,
the buffer 'tmp' is not freed in this case and leaks its memory.

Thus jump to the label 'fail' in that error case.

<title>ring-buffer: Only update pages_touched when a new page is touched</title>

<id>ffe3986fece696cf65e0ef99e74c75f848be8e30</id>
<content type='text'>
The "buffer_percent" logic that is used by the ring buffer splice code to
only wake up the tasks when there's no data after the buffer is filled to
the percentage of the "buffer_percent" file is dependent on three
variables that determine the amount of data that is in the ring buffer:

 1) pages_read - incremented whenever a new sub-buffer is consumed
 2) pages_lost - incremented every time a writer overwrites a sub-buffer
 3) pages_touched - incremented when a write goes to a new sub-buffer

The percentage is the calculation of:

  (pages_touched - (pages_lost + pages_read)) / nr_pages

Basically, the amount of data is the total number of sub-bufs that have been
touched, minus the number of sub-bufs lost and sub-bufs consumed. This is
divided by the total count to give the buffer percentage. When the
percentage is greater than the value in the "buffer_percent" file, it
wakes up splice readers waiting for that amount.

It was observed that over time, the amount read from the splice was
constantly decreasing the longer the trace was running. That is, if one
asked for 60%, it would read over 60% when it first starts tracing, but
then it would be woken up at under 60% and would slowly decrease the
amount of data read after being woken up, where the amount becomes much
less than the buffer percent.

This was due to an accounting of the pages_touched incrementation. This
value is incremented whenever a writer transfers to a new sub-buffer. But
the place where it was incremented was incorrect. If a writer overflowed
the current sub-buffer it would go to the next one. If it gets preempted
by an interrupt at that time, and the interrupt performs a trace, it too
will end up going to the next sub-buffer. But only one should increment
the counter. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

Change the cmpxchg() that does the real switch of the tail-page into a
try_cmpxchg(), and on success, perform the increment of pages_touched. This
will only increment the counter once for when the writer moves to a new
sub-buffer, and not when there's a race and is incremented for when a
writer and its preempting writer both move to the same new sub-buffer.

the current sub-buffer it would go to the next one. If it gets preempted
by an interrupt at that time, and the interrupt performs a trace, it too
will end up going to the next sub-buffer. But only one should increment
the counter. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

Change the cmpxchg() that does the real switch of the tail-page into a
try_cmpxchg(), and on success, perform the increment of pages_touched. This
will only increment the counter once for when the writer moves to a new
sub-buffer, and not when there's a race and is incremented for when a
writer and its preempting writer both move to the same new sub-buffer.

When CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS, a 'make W=1' build produces a warning about the
unused ftrace_event_id_fops variable:

kernel/trace/trace_events.c:2155:37: error: 'ftrace_event_id_fops' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-const-variable=]
 2155 | static const struct file_operations ftrace_event_id_fops = {

Hide this in the same #ifdef as the reference to it.
