Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix another kerneldoc warning - Fix eventfs files to inherit the ownership of its parent directory. The dynamic creation of dentries in eventfs did not take into account if the tracefs file system was mounted with a gid/uid, and would still default to the gid/uid of root. This is a regression. - Fix warning when synthetic event testing is enabled along with startup event tracing testing is enabled * tag 'trace-v6.7-rc6-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing / synthetic: Disable events after testing in synth_event_gen_test_init() eventfs: Have event files and directories default to parent uid and gid tracing/synthetic: fix kernel-doc warnings
The synth_event_gen_test module can be built in, if someone wants to run
the tests at boot up and not have to load them.
The synth_event_gen_test_init() function creates and enables the synthetic
events and runs its tests.
The synth_event_gen_test_exit() disables the events it created and
destroys the events.
If the module is builtin, the events are never disabled. The issue is, the
events should be disable after the tests are run. This could be an issue
if the rest of the boot up tests are enabled, as they expect the events to
be in a known state before testing. That known state happens to be
disabled.
When CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENT_GEN_TEST=y and CONFIG_EVENT_TRACE_STARTUP_TEST=y
a warning will trigger:
Running tests on trace events:
Testing event create_synth_test:
Enabled event during self test!

This is because the synth_event_gen_test_init() left the synthetic events
that it created enabled. By having it disable them after testing, the
other selftests will run fine.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"While working on the ring buffer, I found one more bug with the
timestamp code, and the fix for this removed the need for the final
64-bit cmpxchg!
The ring buffer events hold a "delta" from the previous event. If it
is determined that the delta can not be calculated, it falls back to
adding an absolute timestamp value. The way to know if the delta can
be used is via two stored timestamps in the per-cpu buffer meta data:
before_stamp and write_stamp
The before_stamp is written by every event before it tries to allocate
its space on the ring buffer. The write_stamp is written after it
allocates its space and knows that nothing came in after it read the
previous before_stamp and write_stamp and the two matched.
A previous fix dd9394257078 ("ring-buffer: Do not try to put back
write_stamp") removed putting back the write_stamp to match the
before_stamp so that the next event could use the delta, but races
were found where the two would match, but not be for of the previous
event.
It was determined to allow the event reservation to not have a valid
write_stamp when it is finished, and this fixed a lot of races.
The last use of the 64-bit timestamp cmpxchg depended on the
write_stamp being valid after an interruption. But this is no longer
the case, as if an event is interrupted by a softirq that writes an
event, and that event gets interrupted by a hardirq or NMI and that
writes an event, then the softirq could finish its reservation without
a valid write_stamp.
In the slow path of the event reservation, a delta can still be used
if the write_stamp is valid. Instead of using a cmpxchg against the
write stamp, the before_stamp needs to be read again to validate the
write_stamp. The cmpxchg is not needed.
This updates the slowpath to validate the write_stamp by comparing it
to the before_stamp and removes all rb_time_cmpxchg() as there are no
more users of that function.
The removal of the 32-bit updates of rb_time_t will be done in the
next merge window"
* tag 'trace-v6.7-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:
ring-buffer: Fix slowpath of interrupted event
To synchronize the timestamps with the ring buffer reservation, there are
two timestamps that are saved in the buffer meta data.
1. before_stamp
2. write_stamp
When the two are equal, the write_stamp is considered valid, as in, it may
be used to calculate the delta of the next event as the write_stamp is the
timestamp of the previous reserved event on the buffer.
This is done by the following:
/*A*/ w = current position on the ring buffer
before = before_stamp
after = write_stamp
ts = read current timestamp
if (before != after) {
write_stamp is not valid, force adding an absolute
timestamp.
}
/*B*/ before_stamp = ts
/*C*/ write = local_add_return(event length, position on ring buffer)
if (w == write - event length) {
/* Nothing interrupted between A and C */
/*E*/ write_stamp = ts;
delta = ts - after
/*
* If nothing interrupted again,
* before_stamp == write_stamp and write_stamp
* can be used to calculate the delta for
* events that come in after this one.
*/
} else {
/*
* The slow path!
* Was interrupted between A and C.
*/
This is the place that there's a bug. We currently have:
after = write_stamp
ts = read current timestamp
/*F*/ if (write == current position on the ring buffer &&
after < ts && cmpxchg(write_stamp, after, ts)) {
delta = ts - after;
} else {
delta = 0;
}
The assumption is that if the current position on the ring buffer hasn't
moved between C and F, then it also was not interrupted, and that the last
event written has a timestamp that matches the write_stamp. That is the
write_stamp is valid.
But this may not be the case:
If a task context event was interrupted by softirq between B and C.
And the softirq wrote an event that got interrupted by a hard irq between
C and E.
and the hard irq wrote an event (does not need to be interrupted)
We have:
/*B*/ before_stamp = ts of normal context
---> interrupted by softirq
/*B*/ before_stamp = ts of softirq context
---> interrupted by hardirq
/*B*/ before_stamp = ts of hard irq context
/*E*/ write_stamp = ts of hard irq context
/* matches and write_stamp valid */
<----
/*E*/ write_stamp = ts of softirq context
/* No longer matches before_stamp, write_stamp is not valid! */
<---
w != write - length, go to slow path
// Right now the order of events in the ring buffer is:
//
// |-- softirq event --|-- hard irq event --|-- normal context event --|
//
after = write_stamp (this is the ts of softirq)
ts = read current timestamp
if (write == current position on the ring buffer [true] &&
after < ts [true] && cmpxchg(write_stamp, after, ts) [true]) {
delta = ts - after [Wrong!]
The delta is to be between the hard irq event and the normal context
event, but the above logic made the delta between the softirq event and
the normal context event, where the hard irq event is between the two. This
will shift all the remaining event timestamps on the sub-buffer
incorrectly.
The write_stamp is only valid if it matches the before_stamp. The cmpxchg
does nothing to help this.
Instead, the following logic can be done to fix this:
before = before_stamp
ts = read current timestamp
before_stamp = ts
after = write_stamp
if (write == current position on the ring buffer &&
after == before && after < ts) {
delta = ts - after
} else {
delta = 0;
}
The above will only use the write_stamp if it still matches before_stamp
and was tested to not have changed since C.
As a bonus, with this logic we do not need any 64-bit cmpxchg() at all!
This means the 32-bit rb_time_t workaround can finally be removed. But
that's for a later time.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix eventfs to check creating new files for events with names greater than NAME_MAX. The eventfs lookup needs to check the return result of simple_lookup(). - Fix the ring buffer to check the proper max data size. Events must be able to fit on the ring buffer sub-buffer, if it cannot, then it fails to be written and the logic to add the event is avoided. The code to check if an event can fit failed to add the possible absolute timestamp which may make the event not be able to fit. This causes the ring buffer to go into an infinite loop trying to find a sub-buffer that would fit the event. Luckily, there's a check that will bail out if it looped over a 1000 times and it also warns. The real fix is not to add the absolute timestamp to an event that is starting at the beginning of a sub-buffer because it uses the sub-buffer timestamp. By avoiding the timestamp at the start of the sub-buffer allows events that pass the first check to always find a sub-buffer that it can fit on. - Have large events that do not fit on a trace_seq to print "LINE TOO BIG" like it does for the trace_pipe instead of what it does now which is to silently drop the output. - Fix a memory leak of forgetting to free the spare page that is saved by a trace instance. - Update the size of the snapshot buffer when the main buffer is updated if the snapshot buffer is allocated. - Fix ring buffer timestamp logic by removing all the places that tried to put the before_stamp back to the write stamp so that the next event doesn't add an absolute timestamp. But each of these updates added a race where by making the two timestamp equal, it was validating the write_stamp so that it can be incorrectly used for calculating the delta of an event. - There's a temp buffer used for printing the event that was using the event data size for allocation when it needed to use the size of the entire event (meta-data and payload data) - For hardening, use "%.*s" for printing the trace_marker output, to limit the amount that is printed by the size of the event. This was discovered by development that added a bug that truncated the '\0' and caused a crash. - Fix a use-after-free bug in the use of the histogram files when an instance is being removed. - Remove a useless update in the rb_try_to_discard of the write_stamp. The before_stamp was already changed to force the next event to add an absolute timestamp that the write_stamp is not used. But the write_stamp is modified again using an unneeded 64-bit cmpxchg. - Fix several races in the 32-bit implementation of the rb_time_cmpxchg() that does a 64-bit cmpxchg. - While looking at fixing the 64-bit cmpxchg, I noticed that because the ring buffer uses normal cmpxchg, and this can be done in NMI context, there's some architectures that do not have a working cmpxchg in NMI context. For these architectures, fail recording events that happen in NMI context. * tag 'trace-v6.7-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Do not record in NMI if the arch does not support cmpxchg in NMI ring-buffer: Have rb_time_cmpxchg() set the msb counter too ring-buffer: Fix 32-bit rb_time_read() race with rb_time_cmpxchg() ring-buffer: Fix a race in rb_time_cmpxchg() for 32 bit archs ring-buffer: Remove useless update to write_stamp in rb_try_to_discard() ring-buffer: Do not try to put back write_stamp tracing: Fix uaf issue when open the hist or hist_debug file tracing: Add size check when printing trace_marker output ring-buffer: Have saved event hold the entire event ring-buffer: Do not update before stamp when switching sub-buffers tracing: Update snapshot buffer on resize if it is allocated ring-buffer: Fix memory leak of free page eventfs: Fix events beyond NAME_MAX blocking tasks tracing: Have large events show up as '[LINE TOO BIG]' instead of nothing ring-buffer: Fix writing to the buffer with max_data_size
