Anastasios reported crash on stable 5.15 kernel with following
BPF attached to lsm hook:

  SEC("lsm.s/bprm_creds_for_exec")
  int BPF_PROG(bprm_creds_for_exec, struct linux_binprm *bprm)
  {
          struct path *path = &amp;bprm-&gt;executable-&gt;f_path;
          char p[128] = { 0 };

          bpf_d_path(path, p, 128);
          return 0;
  }

But bprm-&gt;executable can be NULL, so bpf_d_path call will crash:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

   do_execveat_common.isra.0+0x1af/0x260
   __x64_sys_execve+0x32/0x40

It's problem for all stable trees with bpf_d_path helper, which was
added in 5.9.

This issue is fixed in current bpf code, where we identify and mark
trusted pointers, so the above code would fail even to load.

For the sake of the stable trees and to workaround potentially broken
verifier in the future, adding the code that reads the path object from
the passed pointer and verifies it's valid in kernel space.

All callers of trace_probe_primary_from_call() check the return
value to be non NULL. However, the function returns
list_first_entry(&amp;tpe-&gt;probes, ...) which can never be NULL.
Additionally, it does not check for the list being possibly empty,
possibly causing a type confusion on empty lists.
Use list_first_entry_or_null() which solves both problems.

<title>tracing: Have function_graph selftest call cond_resched()</title>

When all kernel debugging is enabled (lockdep, KSAN, etc), the function
graph enabling and disabling can take several seconds to complete. The
function_graph selftest enables and disables function graph tracing
several times. With full debugging enabled, the soft lockup watchdog was
triggering because the selftest was running without ever scheduling.

Add cond_resched() throughout the test to make sure it does not trigger
the soft lockup detector.

The tracing_selftest_running and tracing_selftest_disabled variables were
to keep trace_printk() and other writes from affecting the tracing
selftests, as the tracing selftests would examine the ring buffer to see
if it contained what it expected or not. trace_printk() and friends could
add to the ring buffer and cause the selftests to fail (and then disable
the tracer that was being tested). To keep that from happening, these
variables were added and would keep trace_printk() and friends from
writing to the ring buffer while the tests were going on.

But this was only the top level ring buffer (owned by the global_trace
instance). There is no reason to prevent writing into ring buffers of
other instances via the trace_array_printk() and friends. For the
functions that could be used by other instances, check if the global_trace
is the tracer instance that is being written to before deciding to not
allow the write.

There's no reason to test the condition variables tracing_selftest_running
or tracing_selftest_delete when tracing selftests are not enabled. Make
them define 0s when not the selftests are not configured in.

<title>tracing: Have tracer selftests call cond_resched() before running</title>

As there are more and more internal selftests being added to the Linux
kernel (KSAN, lockdep, etc) the selftests are taking longer to run when
these are enabled. Add a cond_resched() to the calling of
do_run_tracer_selftest() to force a schedule if NEED_RESCHED is set,
otherwise the soft lockup watchdog may trigger on boot up.

<title>tracing: Move setting of tracing_selftest_running out of register_tracer()</title>

The variables tracing_selftest_running and tracing_selftest_disabled are
only used for when CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST is enabled. Make them only
visible within the selftest code. The setting of those variables are in
the register_tracer() call, and set in a location where they do not need
to be. Create a wrapper around run_tracer_selftest() called
do_run_tracer_selftest() which sets those variables, and have
register_tracer() call that instead.

Having those variables only set within the CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST
scope gets rid of them (and also the ability to remove testing against
them) when the startup tests are not enabled (most cases).
