<title>tracing: Stop FORTIFY_SOURCE complaining about stack trace caller</title>

The stack_trace event is an event created by the tracing subsystem to
store stack traces. It originally just contained a hard coded array of 8
words to hold the stack, and a "size" to know how many entries are there.
This is exported to user space as:

name: kernel_stack
ID: 4
format:
	field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_flags;	offset:2;	size:1;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;	offset:3;	size:1;	signed:0;
	field:int common_pid;	offset:4;	size:4;	signed:1;

	field:int size;	offset:8;	size:4;	signed:1;
	field:unsigned long caller[8];	offset:16;	size:64;	signed:0;

print fmt: "\t=&gt; %ps\n\t=&gt; %ps\n\t=&gt; %ps\n" "\t=&gt; %ps\n\t=&gt; %ps\n\t=&gt; %ps\n" "\t=&gt; %ps\n\t=&gt; %ps\n",i
 (void *)REC-&gt;caller[0], (void *)REC-&gt;caller[1], (void *)REC-&gt;caller[2],
 (void *)REC-&gt;caller[3], (void *)REC-&gt;caller[4], (void *)REC-&gt;caller[5],
 (void *)REC-&gt;caller[6], (void *)REC-&gt;caller[7]

Where the user space tracers could parse the stack. The library was
updated for this specific event to only look at the size, and not the
array. But some older users still look at the array (note, the older code
still checks to make sure the array fits inside the event that it read.
That is, if only 4 words were saved, the parser would not read the fifth
word because it will see that it was outside of the event size).

This event was changed a while ago to be more dynamic, and would save a
full stack even if it was greater than 8 words. It does this by simply
allocating more ring buffer to hold the extra words. Then it copies in the
stack via:

	memcpy(&amp;entry-&gt;caller, fstack-&gt;calls, size);

As the entry is struct stack_entry, that is created by a macro to both
create the structure and export this to user space, it still had the caller
field of entry defined as: unsigned long caller[8].

When the stack is greater than 8, the FORTIFY_SOURCE code notices that the
amount being copied is greater than the source array and complains about
it. It has no idea that the source is pointing to the ring buffer with the
required allocation.

To hide this from the FORTIFY_SOURCE logic, pointer arithmetic is used:

	ptr = ring_buffer_event_data(event);
	entry = ptr;
	ptr += offsetof(typeof(*entry), caller);
	memcpy(ptr, fstack-&gt;calls, size);

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix bad git merge of #endif in arm64 code

   A merge of the arm64 tree caused #endif to go into the wrong place

 - Fix crash on lseek of write access to tracefs/error_log

   Opening error_log as write only, and then doing an lseek() causes a
   kernel panic, because the lseek() handle expects a "seq_file" to
   exist (which is not done on write only opens). Use tracing_lseek()
   that tests for this instead of calling the default seq lseek handler.

 - Check for negative instead of -E2BIG for error on strscpy() returns

   Instead of testing for -E2BIG from strscpy(), to be more robust,
   check for less than zero, which will make sure it catches any error
   that strscpy() may someday return.

Fix an issue in function 'tracing_err_log_open'.
The function doesn't call 'seq_open' if the file is opened only with
write permissions, which results in 'file-&gt;private_data' being left as null.
If we then use 'lseek' on that opened file, 'seq_lseek' dereferences
'file-&gt;private_data' in 'mutex_lock(&amp;m-&gt;lock)', resulting in a kernel panic.
Writing to this node requires root privileges, therefore this bug
has very little security impact.

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - fprobe: Pass return address to the fprobe entry/exit callbacks so
   that the callbacks don't need to analyze pt_regs/stack to find the
   function return address.

 - kprobe events: cleanup usage of TPARG_FL_FENTRY and TPARG_FL_RETURN
   flags so that those are not set at once.

 - fprobe events:
      - Add a new fprobe events for tracing arbitrary function entry and
        exit as a trace event.
      - Add a new tracepoint events for tracing raw tracepoint as a
        trace event. This allows user to trace non user-exposed
        tracepoints.
      - Move eprobe's event parser code into probe event common file.
      - Introduce BTF (BPF type format) support to kernel probe (kprobe,
        fprobe and tracepoint probe) events so that user can specify
        traced function arguments by name. This also applies the type of
        argument when fetching the argument.
      - Introduce '$arg*' wildcard support if BTF is available. This
        expands the '$arg*' meta argument to all function argument
        automatically.
      - Check the return value types by BTF. If the function returns
        'void', '$retval' is rejected.
      - Add some selftest script for fprobe events, tracepoint events
        and BTF support.
      - Update documentation about the fprobe events.
      - Some fixes for above features, document and selftests.

 - selftests for ftrace (in addition to the new fprobe events):
      - Add a test case for multiple consecutive probes in a function
        which checks if ftrace based kprobe, optimized kprobe and normal
        kprobe can be defined in the same target function.
      - Add a test case for optimized probe, which checks whether kprobe
        can be optimized or not.

   that the callbacks don't need to analyze pt_regs/stack to find the
   function return address.

 - kprobe events: cleanup usage of TPARG_FL_FENTRY and TPARG_FL_RETURN
   flags so that those are not set at once.

 - fprobe events:
      - Add a new fprobe events for tracing arbitrary function entry and
        exit as a trace event.
      - Add a new tracepoint events for tracing raw tracepoint as a
        trace event. This allows user to trace non user-exposed
        tracepoints.
      - Move eprobe's event parser code into probe event common file.
      - Introduce BTF (BPF type format) support to kernel probe (kprobe,
        fprobe and tracepoint probe) events so that user can specify
        traced function arguments by name. This also applies the type of
        argument when fetching the argument.
      - Introduce '$arg*' wildcard support if BTF is available. This
        expands the '$arg*' meta argument to all function argument
        automatically.
      - Check the return value types by BTF. If the function returns
        'void', '$retval' is rejected.
      - Add some selftest script for fprobe events, tracepoint events
        and BTF support.
      - Update documentation about the fprobe events.
      - Some fixes for above features, document and selftests.

 - selftests for ftrace (in addition to the new fprobe events):
      - Add a test case for multiple consecutive probes in a function
        which checks if ftrace based kprobe, optimized kprobe and normal
        kprobe can be defined in the same target function.
      - Add a test case for optimized probe, which checks whether kprobe
        can be optimized or not.

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "There are three areas of note:

  A bunch of strlcpy()-&gt;strscpy() conversions ended up living in my tree
  since they were either Acked by maintainers for me to carry, or got
  ignored for multiple weeks (and were trivial changes).

  The compiler option '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' has been enabled
  globally, and has been in -next for the entire devel cycle. This
  changes compiler diagnostics (though mainly just -Warray-bounds which
  is disabled) and potential UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY _warning_
  coverage. In other words, there are no new restrictions, just
  potentially new warnings. Any new FORTIFY warnings we've seen have
  been fixed (usually in their respective subsystem trees). For more
  details, see commit df8fc4e934c12b.

  The under-development compiler attribute __counted_by has been added
  so that we can start annotating flexible array members with their
  associated structure member that tracks the count of flexible array
  elements at run-time. It is possible (likely?) that the exact syntax
  of the attribute will change before it is finalized, but GCC and Clang
  are working together to sort it out. Any changes can be made to the
  macro while we continue to add annotations.

  As an example of that last case, I have a treewide commit waiting with
  such annotations found via Coccinelle:

    https://git.kernel.org/linus/adc5b3cb48a049563dc673f348eab7b6beba8a9b

  Also see commit dd06e72e68bcb4 for more details.

  Summary:

   - Fix KMSAN vs FORTIFY in strlcpy/strlcat (Alexander Potapenko)

   - Convert strreplace() to return string start (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Flexible array conversions (Arnd Bergmann, Wyes Karny, Kees Cook)

   - Add missing function prototypes seen with W=1 (Arnd Bergmann)

   - Fix strscpy() kerndoc typo (Arne Welzel)

   - Replace strlcpy() with strscpy() across many subsystems which were
     either Acked by respective maintainers or were trivial changes that
     went ignored for multiple weeks (Azeem Shaikh)

   - Remove unneeded cc-option test for UBSAN_TRAP (Nick Desaulniers)

   - Add KUnit tests for strcat()-family

   - Enable KUnit tests of FORTIFY wrappers under UML

   - Add more complete FORTIFY protections for strlcat()

   - Add missed disabling of FORTIFY for all arch purgatories.

   - Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 globally

   - Tightening UBSAN_BOUNDS when using GCC

   - Improve checkpatch to check for strcpy, strncpy, and fake flex
     arrays

   - Improve use of const variables in FORTIFY

   - Add requested struct_size_t() helper for types not pointers

   - Add __counted_by macro for annotating flexible array size members"

Pull splice updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This kills off ITER_PIPE to avoid a race between truncate,
  iov_iter_revert() on the pipe and an as-yet incomplete DMA to a bio
  with unpinned/unref'ed pages from an O_DIRECT splice read. This causes
  memory corruption.

  Instead, we either use (a) filemap_splice_read(), which invokes the
  buffered file reading code and splices from the pagecache into the
  pipe; (b) copy_splice_read(), which bulk-allocates a buffer, reads
  into it and then pushes the filled pages into the pipe; or (c) handle
  it in filesystem-specific code.

  Summary:

   - Rename direct_splice_read() to copy_splice_read()

   - Simplify the calculations for the number of pages to be reclaimed
     in copy_splice_read()

   - Turn do_splice_to() into a helper, vfs_splice_read(), so that it
     can be used by overlayfs and coda to perform the checks on the
     lower fs

   - Make vfs_splice_read() jump to copy_splice_read() to handle
     direct-I/O and DAX

   - Provide shmem with its own splice_read to handle non-existent pages
     in the pagecache. We don't want a -&gt;read_folio() as we don't want
     to populate holes, but filemap_get_pages() requires it

   - Provide overlayfs with its own splice_read to call down to a lower
     layer as overlayfs doesn't provide -&gt;read_folio()

   - Provide coda with its own splice_read to call down to a lower layer
     as coda doesn't provide -&gt;read_folio()

   - Direct -&gt;splice_read to copy_splice_read() in tty, procfs, kernfs
     and random files as they just copy to the output buffer and don't
     splice pages

   - Provide wrappers for afs, ceph, ecryptfs, ext4, f2fs, nfs, ntfs3,
     ocfs2, orangefs, xfs and zonefs to do locking and/or revalidation

   - Make cifs use filemap_splice_read()

   - Replace pointers to generic_file_splice_read() with pointers to
     filemap_splice_read() as DIO and DAX are handled in the caller;
     filesystems can still provide their own alternate -&gt;splice_read()
     op

Support function or tracepoint parameters by name if BTF support is enabled
and the event is for function entry (this feature can be used with kprobe-
events, fprobe-events and tracepoint probe events.)

Note that the BTF variable syntax does not require a prefix. If it starts
with an alphabetic character or an underscore ('_') without a prefix like
'$' and '%', it is considered as a BTF variable.
If you specify only the BTF variable name, the argument name will also
be the same name instead of 'arg*'.

<title>tracing/probes: Add tracepoint support on fprobe_events</title>

Allow fprobe_events to trace raw tracepoints so that user can trace
tracepoints which don't have traceevent wrappers. This new event is
always available if the fprobe_events is enabled (thus no kconfig),
because the fprobe_events depends on the trace-event and traceporint.

e.g.
 # echo 't sched_overutilized_tp' &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # echo 't 9p_client_req' &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # cat dynamic_events
t:tracepoints/sched_overutilized_tp sched_overutilized_tp
t:tracepoints/_9p_client_req 9p_client_req

The event name is based on the tracepoint name, but if it is started
with digit character, an underscore '_' will be added.

NOTE: to avoid further confusion, this renames TPARG_FL_TPOINT to
TPARG_FL_TEVENT because this flag is used for eprobe (trace-event probe).
And reuse TPARG_FL_TPOINT for this raw tracepoint probe.

Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit instead of kprobe
events. With this change, we can continue to trace function entry/exit
even if the CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is not available. Since
CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE requires the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS,
it is not available if the architecture only supports
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. And that means kprobe events can not
probe function entry/exit effectively on such architecture.
But this can be solved if the dynamic events supports fprobe events.

The fprobe event is a new dynamic events which is only for the function
(symbol) entry and exit. This event accepts non register fetch arguments
so that user can trace the function arguments and return values.

The fprobe events syntax is here;

 f[:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION [FETCHARGS]
 f[MAXACTIVE][:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION%return [FETCHARGS]

E.g.

 # echo 'f vfs_read $arg1'  &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # echo 'f vfs_read%return $retval'  &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # cat dynamic_events
 f:fprobes/vfs_read__entry vfs_read arg1=$arg1
 f:fprobes/vfs_read__exit vfs_read%return arg1=$retval
 # echo 1 &gt; events/fprobes/enable
 # head -n 20 trace | tail
 #           TASK-PID     CPU#  |||||  TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |         |   |||||     |         |
              sh-142     [005] ...1.   448.386420: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540
              sh-142     [005] .....   448.386436: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 &lt;- vfs_read) arg1=0x1
              sh-142     [005] ...1.   448.386451: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540
              sh-142     [005] .....   448.386458: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 &lt;- vfs_read) arg1=0x1
              sh-142     [005] ...1.   448.386469: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540
              sh-142     [005] .....   448.386476: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 &lt;- vfs_read) arg1=0x1
              sh-142     [005] ...1.   448.602073: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540
              sh-142     [005] .....   448.602089: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 &lt;- vfs_read) arg1=0x1
