commit 3dd4432549415f3c65dd52d5c687629efbf4ece1 upstream.

Use the maple tree in RCU mode for VMA tracking.

The maple tree tracks the stack and is able to update the pivot
(lower/upper boundary) in-place to allow the page fault handler to write
to the tree while holding just the mmap read lock.  This is safe as the
writes to the stack have a guard VMA which ensures there will always be
a NULL in the direction of the growth and thus will only update a pivot.

It is possible, but not recommended, to have VMAs that grow up/down
without guard VMAs.  syzbot has constructed a testcase which sets up a
VMA to grow and consume the empty space.  Overwriting the entire NULL
entry causes the tree to be altered in a way that is not safe for
concurrent readers; the readers may see a node being rewritten or one
that does not match the maple state they are using.

Enabling RCU mode allows the concurrent readers to see a stable node and
will return the expected result.

<title>ring-buffer: Fix race while reader and writer are on the same page</title>

commit 6455b6163d8c680366663cdb8c679514d55fc30c upstream.

When user reads file 'trace_pipe', kernel keeps printing following logs
that warn at "cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page-&gt;read &gt; rb_page_size(reader)" in
rb_get_reader_page(). It just looks like there's an infinite loop in
tracing_read_pipe(). This problem occurs several times on arm64 platform
when testing v5.10 and below.

  Call trace:
   rb_get_reader_page+0x248/0x1300
   rb_buffer_peek+0x34/0x160
   ring_buffer_peek+0xbc/0x224
   peek_next_entry+0x98/0xbc
   __find_next_entry+0xc4/0x1c0
   trace_find_next_entry_inc+0x30/0x94
   tracing_read_pipe+0x198/0x304
   vfs_read+0xb4/0x1e0
   ksys_read+0x74/0x100
   __arm64_sys_read+0x24/0x30
   el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x7c/0x1bc
   do_el0_svc+0x2c/0x94
   el0_svc+0x20/0x30
   el0_sync_handler+0xb0/0xb4
   el0_sync+0x160/0x180

Then I dump the vmcore and look into the problematic per_cpu ring_buffer,
I found that tail_page/commit_page/reader_page are on the same page while
reader_page-&gt;read is obviously abnormal:
  tail_page == commit_page == reader_page == {
    .write = 0x100d20,
    .read = 0x8f9f4805,  // Far greater than 0xd20, obviously abnormal!!!
    .entries = 0x10004c,
    .real_end = 0x0,
    .page = {
      .time_stamp = 0x857257416af0,
      .commit = 0xd20,  // This page hasn't been full filled.
      // .data[0...0xd20] seems normal.
    }
 }

The root cause is most likely the race that reader and writer are on the
same page while reader saw an event that not fully committed by writer.

To fix this, add memory barriers to make sure the reader can see the
content of what is committed. Since commit a0fcaaed0c46 ("ring-buffer: Fix
race between reset page and reading page") has added the read barrier in
rb_get_reader_page(), here we just need to add the write barrier.

<title>perf/core: Fix the same task check in perf_event_set_output</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 24d3ae2f37d8bc3c14b31d353c5d27baf582b6a6 ]

The same task check in perf_event_set_output has some potential issues
for some usages.

For the current perf code, there is a problem if using of
perf_event_open() to have multiple samples getting into the same mmap’d
memory when they are both attached to the same process.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/92645262-D319-4068-9C44-2409EF44888E@gmail.com/
Because the event-&gt;ctx is not ready when the perf_event_set_output() is
invoked in the perf_event_open().

Besides the above issue, before the commit bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite
core context handling"), perf record can errors out when sampling with
a hardware event and a software event as below.
 $ perf record -e cycles,dummy --per-thread ls
 failed to mmap with 22 (Invalid argument)
That's because that prior to the commit a hardware event and a software
event are from different task context.

The problem should be a long time issue since commit c3f00c70276d
("perk: Separate find_get_context() from event initialization").

The task struct is stored in the event-&gt;hw.target for each per-thread
event. It is a more reliable way to determine whether two events are
attached to the same task.

The event-&gt;hw.target was also introduced several years ago by the
commit 50f16a8bf9d7 ("perf: Remove type specific target pointers"). It
can not only be used to fix the issue with the current code, but also
back port to fix the issues with an older kernel.

Note: The event-&gt;hw.target was introduced later than commit
c3f00c70276d. The patch may cannot be applied between the commit
c3f00c70276d and commit 50f16a8bf9d7. Anybody that wants to back-port
this at that period may have to find other solutions.

Thomas reported that offlining CPUs spends a lot of time in
synchronize_rcu() as called from perf_pmu_migrate_context() even though
he's not actually using uncore events.

Turns out, the thing is unconditionally waiting for RCU, even if there's
no actual events to migrate.

commit 3357c6e429643231e60447b52ffbb7ac895aca22 upstream.

When a tracing instance is removed, the error messages that hold errors
that occurred in the instance needs to be freed. The following reports a
memory leak:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # echo 'hist:keys=x' &gt; instances/foo/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
 # cat instances/foo/error_log
 [  117.404795] hist:sched:sched_switch: error: Couldn't find field
   Command: hist:keys=x
                      ^
 # rmdir instances/foo

Then check for memory leaks:

 # echo scan &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

The problem is that the error log needs to be freed when the instance is
removed.

commit 3357c6e429643231e60447b52ffbb7ac895aca22 upstream.

When a tracing instance is removed, the error messages that hold errors
that occurred in the instance needs to be freed. The following reports a
memory leak:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # echo 'hist:keys=x' &gt; instances/foo/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
 # cat instances/foo/error_log
 [  117.404795] hist:sched:sched_switch: error: Couldn't find field
   Command: hist:keys=x
                      ^
 # rmdir instances/foo

Then check for memory leaks:

 # echo scan &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

commit d3cba7f02cd82118c32651c73374d8a5a459d9a6 upstream.

osnoise/timerlat tracers are reporting new max latency on instances
where the tracing is off, creating inconsistencies between the max
reported values in the trace and in the tracing_max_latency. Thus
only report new tracing_max_latency on active tracing instances.

<title>tracing/timerlat: Notify new max thread latency</title>

commit b9f451a9029a16eb7913ace09b92493d00f2e564 upstream.

timerlat is not reporting a new tracing_max_latency for the thread
latency. The reason is that it is not calling notify_new_max_latency()
function after the new thread latency is sampled.

Call notify_new_max_latency() after computing the thread latency.

<title>tracing/synthetic: Fix races on freeing last_cmd</title>

commit 4ccf11c4e8a8e051499d53a12f502196c97a758e upstream.

Currently, the "last_cmd" variable can be accessed by multiple processes
asynchronously when multiple users manipulate synthetic_events node
at the same time, it could lead to use-after-free or double-free.

This patch add "lastcmd_mutex" to prevent "last_cmd" from being accessed
asynchronously.

================================================================

It's easy to reproduce in the KASAN environment by running the two
scripts below in different shells.

script 1:
        while :
        do
                echo -n -e '\x88' &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
        done

script 2:
        while :
        do
                echo -n -e '\xb0' &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
        done

                                  2.free last_cmd
3.free last_cmd(double-free)

================================================================

    process A                       process B
-------------------               ---------------

                                  2.free last_cmd
3.tracing_log_err(use-after-free)

<title>ftrace: Fix issue that 'direct-&gt;addr' not restored in modify_ftrace_direct()</title>

commit 2a2d8c51defb446e8d89a83f42f8e5cd529111e9 upstream.

Syzkaller report a WARNING: "WARN_ON(!direct)" in modify_ftrace_direct().

Root cause is 'direct-&gt;addr' was changed from 'old_addr' to 'new_addr' but
not restored if error happened on calling ftrace_modify_direct_caller().
Then it can no longer find 'direct' by that 'old_addr'.

To fix it, restore 'direct-&gt;addr' to 'old_addr' explicitly in error path.
