commit bb32500fb9 upstream
The following can crash the kernel:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo 'p:sched schedule' > kprobe_events
# exec 5>>events/kprobes/sched/enable
# > kprobe_events
# exec 5>&-
The above commands:
1. Change directory to the tracefs directory
2. Create a kprobe event (doesn't matter what one)
3. Open bash file descriptor 5 on the enable file of the kprobe event
4. Delete the kprobe event (removes the files too)
5. Close the bash file descriptor 5
The above causes a crash!

RIP: 0010:tracing_release_file_tr+0xc/0x50
What happens here is that the kprobe event creates a trace_event_file
"file" descriptor that represents the file in tracefs to the event. It
maintains state of the event (is it enabled for the given instance?).
Opening the "enable" file gets a reference to the event "file" descriptor
via the open file descriptor. When the kprobe event is deleted, the file is
also deleted from the tracefs system which also frees the event "file"
descriptor.
But as the tracefs file is still opened by user space, it will not be
totally removed until the final dput() is called on it. But this is not
true with the event "file" descriptor that is already freed. If the user
does a write to or simply closes the file descriptor it will reference the
event "file" descriptor that was just freed, causing a use-after-free bug.
To solve this, add a ref count to the event "file" descriptor as well as a
new flag called "FREED". The "file" will not be freed until the last
reference is released. But the FREE flag will be set when the event is
removed to prevent any more modifications to that event from happening,
even if there's still a reference to the event "file" descriptor.

All architectures should use a long aligned address passed to set_bit().
User processes can pass either a 32-bit or 64-bit sized value to be
updated when tracing is enabled when on a 64-bit kernel. Both cases are
ensured to be naturally aligned, however, that is not enough. The
address must be long aligned without affecting checks on the value
within the user process which require different adjustments for the bit
for little and big endian CPUs.
Add a compat flag to user_event_enabler that indicates when a 32-bit
value is being used on a 64-bit kernel. Long align addresses and correct
the bit to be used by set_bit() to account for this alignment. Ensure
compat flags are copied during forks and used during deletion clears.

When kernel is compiled without preemption, the eval_map_work_func()
(which calls trace_event_eval_update()) will not be preempted up to its
complete execution. This can actually cause a problem since if another
CPU call stop_machine(), the call will have to wait for the
eval_map_work_func() function to finish executing in the workqueue
before being able to be scheduled. This problem was observe on a SMP
system at boot time, when the CPU calling the initcalls executed
clocksource_done_booting() which in the end calls stop_machine(). We
observed a 1 second delay because one CPU was executing
eval_map_work_func() and was not preempted by the stop_machine() task.
Adding a call to cond_resched() in trace_event_eval_update() allows
other tasks to be executed and thus continue working asynchronously
like before without blocking any pending task at boot time.

It was discovered that the ring buffer polling was incorrectly stating
that read would not block, but that's because polling did not take into
account that reads will block if the "buffer-percent" was set. Instead,
the ring buffer polling would say reads would not block if there was any
data in the ring buffer. This was incorrect behavior from a user space
point of view. This was fixed by commit 42fb0a1e84 by having the polling
code check if the ring buffer had more data than what the user specified
"buffer percent" had.
The problem now is that the polling code did not register itself to the
writer that it wanted to wait for a specific "full" value of the ring
buffer. The result was that the writer would wake the polling waiter
whenever there was a new event. The polling waiter would then wake up, see
that there's not enough data in the ring buffer to notify user space and
then go back to sleep. The next event would wake it up again.
Before the polling fix was added, the code would wake up around 100 times
for a hackbench 30 benchmark. After the "fix", due to the constant waking
of the writer, it would wake up over 11,0000 times! It would never leave
the kernel, so the user space behavior was still "correct", but this
definitely is not the desired effect.
To fix this, have the polling code add what it's waiting for to the
"shortest_full" variable, to tell the writer not to wake it up if the
buffer is not as full as it expects to be.
Note, after this fix, it appears that the waiter is now woken up around 2x
the times it was before (~200). This is a tremendous improvement from the
11,000 times, but I will need to spend some time to see why polling is
more aggressive in its wakeups than the read blocking code.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix the "bytes" output of the per_cpu stat file
The tracefs/per_cpu/cpu*/stats "bytes" was giving bogus values as the
accounting was not accurate. It is suppose to show how many used
bytes are still in the ring buffer, but even when the ring buffer was
empty it would still show there were bytes used.
- Fix a bug in eventfs where reading a dynamic event directory (open)
and then creating a dynamic event that goes into that diretory screws
up the accounting.
On close, the newly created event dentry will get a "dput" without
ever having a "dget" done for it. The fix is to allocate an array on
dir open to save what dentries were actually "dget" on, and what ones
to "dput" on close.

ring-buffer: Fix bytes info in per_cpu buffer stats
The 'bytes' info in file 'per_cpu/cpu<X>/stats' means the number of
bytes in cpu buffer that have not been consumed. However, currently
after consuming data by reading file 'trace_pipe', the 'bytes' info
was not changed as expected.
# cat per_cpu/cpu0/stats
entries: 0
overrun: 0
commit overrun: 0
bytes: 568 <--- 'bytes' is problematical !!!
oldest event ts: 8651.371479
now ts: 8653.912224
dropped events: 0
read events: 8
The root cause is incorrect stat on cpu_buffer->read_bytes. To fix it:
1. When stat 'read_bytes', account consumed event in rb_advance_reader();
2. When stat 'entries_bytes', exclude the discarded padding event which
is smaller than minimum size because it is invisible to reader. Then
use rb_page_commit() instead of BUF_PAGE_SIZE at where accounting for
page-based read/remove/overrun.
Also correct the comments of ring_buffer_bytes_cpu() in this patch.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Add missing LOCKDOWN checks for eventfs callers
When LOCKDOWN is active for tracing, it causes inconsistent state
when some functions succeed and others fail.
- Use dput() to free the top level eventfs descriptor
There was a race between accesses and freeing it.
- Fix a long standing bug that eventfs exposed due to changing timings
by dynamically creating files. That is, If a event file is opened for
an instance, there's nothing preventing the instance from being
removed which will make accessing the files cause use-after-free
bugs.
- Fix a ring buffer race that happens when iterating over the ring
buffer while writers are active. Check to make sure not to read the
event meta data if it's beyond the end of the ring buffer sub buffer.
- Fix the print trigger that disappeared because the test to create it
was looking for the event dir field being filled, but now it has the
"ef" field filled for the eventfs structure.
- Remove the unused "dir" field from the event structure.
- Fix the order of the trace_dynamic_info as it had it backwards for
the offset and len fields for which one was for which endianess.
- Fix NULL pointer dereference with eventfs_remove_rec()
If an allocation fails in one of the eventfs_add_*() functions, the
caller of it in event_subsystem_dir() or event_create_dir() assigns
the result to the structure. But it's assigning the ERR_PTR and not
NULL. This was passed to eventfs_remove_rec() which expects either a
good pointer or a NULL, not ERR_PTR. The fix is to not assign the
ERR_PTR to the structure, but to keep it NULL on error.
- Fix list_for_each_rcu() to use list_for_each_srcu() in
dcache_dir_open_wrapper(). One iteration of the code used RCU but
because it had to call sleepable code, it had to be changed to use
SRCU, but one of the iterations was missed.
- Fix synthetic event print function to use "as_u64" instead of passing
in a pointer to the union. To fix big/little endian issues, the u64
that represented several types was turned into a union to define the
types properly.

or not. But that value will now be NULL because it uses the event file
descriptor.
Change it to test the "ef" field of the trace_event_file structure so that
the trace_marker "trigger" file appears again.

When iterating over the ring buffer while the ring buffer is active, the
writer can corrupt the reader. There's barriers to help detect this and
handle it, but that code missed the case where the last event was at the
very end of the page and has only 4 bytes left.
The checks to detect the corruption by the writer to reads needs to see the
length of the event. If the length in the first 4 bytes is zero then the
length is stored in the second 4 bytes. But if the writer is in the process
of updating that code, there's a small window where the length in the first
4 bytes could be zero even though the length is only 4 bytes. That will
cause rb_event_length() to read the next 4 bytes which could happen to be off the
allocated page.
To protect against this, fail immediately if the next event pointer is
less than 8 bytes from the end of the commit (last byte of data), as all
events must be a minimum of 8 bytes anyway.

When user resize all trace ring buffer through file 'buffer_size_kb',
then in ring_buffer_resize(), kernel allocates buffer pages for each
cpu in a loop.
If the kernel preemption model is PREEMPT_NONE and there are many cpus
and there are many buffer pages to be allocated, it may not give up cpu
for a long time and finally cause a softlockup.
To avoid it, call cond_resched() after each cpu buffer allocation.

To fix it, IIUC, we can use smp_call_function_single() to do the swap on
the target cpu where the buffer is located, so that above race would be
avoided.

"User visible changes:
- Added a way to easier filter with cpumasks:
# echo 'cpumask & CPUS{17-42}' > /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 a string type checking with BTF information if possible.
This will check whether the given BTF argument (and field) is
signed char array or pointer to signed char. If not, it reject
the 'string' type. If it is pointer to signed char, it adds
a dereference opration so that it can correctly fetch the
string data from memory.
# echo 'f getname_flags%return retval->name:string' >> dynamic_events
# echo 't sched_switch next->comm:string' >> dynamic_events
The above cases, 'struct filename::name' is 'char *' and
'struct task_struct::comm' is 'char []'. But in both case,
user can specify ':string' to fetch the string data.

Since the btf returned from bpf_get_btf_vmlinux() only covers functions in
the vmlinux, BTF argument is not available on the functions in the modules.
Use bpf_find_btf_id() instead of bpf_get_btf_vmlinux()+btf_find_name_kind()
so that BTF argument can find the correct struct btf and btf_type in it.
With this fix, fprobe events can use `$arg*` on module functions as below
# grep nf_log_ip_packet /proc/kallsyms
ffffffffa0005c00 t nf_log_ip_packet [nf_log_syslog]
ffffffffa0005bf0 t __pfx_nf_log_ip_packet [nf_log_syslog]
# echo 'f nf_log_ip_packet $arg*' > dynamic_events
# cat dynamic_events
f:fprobes/nf_log_ip_packet__entry nf_log_ip_packet net=net pf=pf hooknum=hooknum skb=skb in=in out=out loginfo=loginfo prefix=prefix
To support the module's btf which is removable, the struct btf needs to be
ref-counted. So this also records the btf in the traceprobe_parse_context
and returns the refcount when the parse has done.
