The dcache_dir_open_wrapper() could be called when a dynamic event is
being deleted leaving a dentry with no children. In this case the
dlist-&gt;dentries array will never be allocated. This needs to be checked
for in eventfs_release(), otherwise it will trigger a NULL pointer
dereference.

Using the following code with libtracefs:

	int dfd;

	// create the directory events/kprobes/kp1
	tracefs_kprobe_raw(NULL, "kp1", "schedule_timeout", "time=$arg1");

	// Open the kprobes directory
	dfd = tracefs_instance_file_open(NULL, "events/kprobes", O_RDONLY);

	// Do a lookup of the kprobes/kp1 directory (by looking at enable)
	tracefs_file_exists(NULL, "events/kprobes/kp1/enable");

	// Now create a new entry in the kprobes directory
	tracefs_kprobe_raw(NULL, "kp2", "schedule_hrtimeout", "expires=$arg1");

	// Do another lookup to create the dentries
	tracefs_file_exists(NULL, "events/kprobes/kp2/enable"))

	// Close the directory
	close(dfd);

What happened above, the first open (dfd) will call
dcache_dir_open_wrapper() that will create the dentries and up their ref
counts.

Now the creation of "kp2" will add another dentry within the kprobes
directory.

Upon the close of dfd, eventfs_release() will now do a dput for all the
entries in kprobes. But this is where the problem lies. The open only
upped the dentry of kp1 and not kp2. Now the close is decrementing both
kp1 and kp2, which causes kp2 to get a negative count.

Doing a "trace-cmd reset" which deletes all the kprobes cause the kernel
to crash! (due to the messed up accounting of the ref counts).

To solve this, save all the dentries that are opened in the
dcache_dir_open_wrapper() into an array, and use this array to know what
dentries to do a dput on in eventfs_release().

Since the dcache_dir_open_wrapper() calls dcache_dir_open() which uses the
file-&gt;private_data, we need to also add a wrapper around dcache_readdir()
that uses the cursor assigned to the file-&gt;private_data. This is because
the dentries need to also be saved in the file-&gt;private_data. To do this
create the structure:

  struct dentry_list {
	void		*cursor;
	struct dentry	**dentries;
  };

Which will hold both the cursor and the dentries. Some shuffling around is
needed to make sure that dcache_dir_open() and dcache_readdir() only see
the cursor.

<title>tracefs/eventfs: Use list_for_each_srcu() in dcache_dir_open_wrapper()</title>

The eventfs files list is protected by SRCU. In earlier iterations it was
protected with just RCU, but because it needed to also call sleepable
code, it had to be switch to SRCU. The dcache_dir_open_wrapper()
list_for_each_rcu() was missed and did not get converted over to
list_for_each_srcu(). That needs to be fixed.

When an instance is removed, the top level files of the eventfs directory
are not cleaned up. Call the eventfs_remove() on each of the entries to
free them.

Currently when rmdir on an instance is done, eventfs_remove_events_dir()
is called and it does a dput on the dentry and then frees the
eventfs_inode that represents the events directory.

But there's no protection against a reader reading the top level events
directory at the same time and we can get a use after free error. Instead,
use the dput() associated to the dentry to also free the eventfs_inode
associated to the events directory, as that will get called when the last
reference to the directory is released.

This issue triggered the following KASAN report:

All the eventfs external functions do not check if TRACEFS_LOCKDOWN was
set or not. This can caused some functions to return success while others
fail, which can trigger unexpected errors.

Add the missing lockdown checks.

<content type='text'>
The function tracefs_create_dir() was missing a lockdown check and was
called by the RV code. This gave an inconsistent behavior of this function
returning success while other tracefs functions failed. This caused the
inode being freed by the wrong kmem_cache.

The function tracefs_create_dir() was missing a lockdown check and was
called by the RV code. This gave an inconsistent behavior of this function
returning success while other tracefs functions failed. This caused the
inode being freed by the wrong kmem_cache.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "User visible changes:

   - Added a way to easier filter with cpumasks:

       # echo 'cpumask &amp; CPUS{17-42}' &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ipi_send_cpumask/filter

   - Show actual size of ring buffer after modifying the ring buffer
     size via buffer_size_kb.

     Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual size
     rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead.

  Major changes:

   - Added "eventfs". This is the code that handles the inodes and
     dentries of tracefs/events directory. As there are thousands of
     events, and each event has several inodes and dentries that
     currently exist even when tracing is never used, they take up
     precious memory. Instead, eventfs will allocate the inodes and
     dentries in a JIT way (similar to what procfs does). There is now
     metadata that handles the events and subdirectories, and will
     create the inodes and dentries when they are used.

     Note, I also have patches that remove the subdirectory meta data,
     but will wait till the next merge window before applying them. It's
     a little more complex, and I want to make sure the dynamic code
     works properly before adding more complexity, making it easier to
     revert if need be.

  Minor changes:

   - Optimization to user event list traversal

   - Remove intermediate permission of tracefs files (note the
     intermediate permission removes all access to the files so it is
     not a security concern, but just a clean up)

   - Add the complex fix to FORTIFY_SOURCE to the kernel stack event
     logic

   - Other minor cleanups"

The struct eventfs_file is a local structure and should not be parsed by
kernel doc. It also does not fully follow the kerneldoc format and is
causing kerneldoc to spit out errors. Replace the /** to /* so that
kerneldoc no longer processes this structure.

Also format the comments of the delete union of the structure to be a bit
better.

<title>tracefs: Avoid changing i_mode to a temp value</title>

Right now inode-&gt;i_mode is updated twice to reach the desired value
in tracefs_apply_options(). Because there is no lock protecting the two
writes, other threads might read the intermediate value of inode-&gt;i_mode.

Thread-1			Thread-2
// tracefs_apply_options()	//e.g., acl_permission_check
inode-&gt;i_mode &amp;= ~S_IALLUGO;
				unsigned int mode = inode-&gt;i_mode;
inode-&gt;i_mode |= opts-&gt;mode;

I think there is no need to introduce a lock but it is better to
only update inode-&gt;i_mode ONCE, so the readers will either see the old
or latest value, rather than an intermediate/temporary value.

Note, the race is not a security concern as the intermediate value is more
locked down than either the start or end version. This is more just to do
the conversion cleanly.
