<content type='text'>
commit 3132e107d608f8753240d82d61303c500fd515b4 upstream.

If trace_puts() is used very early in boot up, it can crash the machine
if it is called before the ring buffer is allocated. If a trace_printk()
is used with no arguments, then it will be converted into a trace_puts()
and suffer the same fate.

commit dced341b2d4f06668efaab33f88de5d287c0f45b upstream.

The trace buffer has a descriptor pointer that goes back to the trace
array. But it was never assigned. Luckily, nothing uses it (yet), but
it will in the future.

Although nothing currently uses this, if any of the new features get
backported to older kernels, and because this is such a simple change,
I'm marking it for stable too.

The out-of-bounds access happens on 'parser-&gt;buffer[parser-&gt;idx] = 0;'

Although the crash happened in ftrace_regex_open() the real bug
occurred in trace_get_user() where there's an incrementation to
parser-&gt;idx without a check against the size. The way it is triggered
is if userspace sends in 128 characters (EVENT_BUF_SIZE + 1), the loop
that reads the last character stores it and then breaks out because
there is no more characters. Then the last character is read to determine
what to do next, and the index is incremented without checking size.

Then the caller of trace_get_user() usually nulls out the last character
with a zero, but since the index is equal to the size, it writes a nul
character after the allocated space, which can corrupt memory.

Luckily, only root user has write access to this file.

commit 6484c71cbc170634fa131b6d022d86d61686b88b upstream.

tracing_open() and tracing_snapshot_open() are racy, the memory
inode-&gt;i_private points to can be already freed.

Convert these last users of "inode-&gt;i_private == trace_cpu" to
use "i_private = trace_array" and rely on tracing_get_cpu().

v2: incorporate the fix from Steven, tracing_release() must not
    blindly dereference file-&gt;private_data unless we know that
    the file was opened for reading.

tracing_open_generic_tc() is racy, the memory inode-&gt;i_private

1. Change its last user, tracing_entries_fops, to use
   tracing_*_generic_tr() instead.

2. Change debugfs_create_file("buffer_size_kb", data) callers
   to pass "data = tr".

3. Change tracing_entries_read() and tracing_entries_write() to
   use tracing_get_cpu().

4. Kill the no longer used tracing_open_generic_tc() and
   tracing_release_generic_tc().

<title>tracing: Introduce trace_create_cpu_file() and tracing_get_cpu()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e2d4dbe02175e54616fe52c4e9c367199f8ecdaa</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 649e9c70da6bfbeb563193a35d3424a5aa7c0d38 upstream.

Every "file_operations" used by tracing_init_debugfs_percpu is buggy.
f_op-&gt;open/etc does:

	1. struct trace_cpu *tc = inode-&gt;i_private;
	   struct trace_array *tr = tc-&gt;tr;

	2. trace_array_get(tr) or fail;

	3. do_something(tc);

But tc (and tr) can be already freed before trace_array_get() is called.
And it doesn't matter whether this file is per-cpu or it was created by
init_tracer_debugfs(), free_percpu() or kfree() are equally bad.

Note that even 1. is not safe, the freed memory can be unmapped. But even
if it was safe trace_array_get() can wrongly succeed if we also race with
the next new_instance_create() which can re-allocate the same tr, or tc
was overwritten and -&gt;tr points to the valid tr. In this case 3. uses the
freed/reused memory.

Add the new trivial helper, trace_create_cpu_file() which simply calls
trace_create_file() and encodes "cpu" in "struct inode". Another helper,
tracing_get_cpu() will be used to read cpu_nr-or-RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

The patch abuses -&gt;i_cdev to encode the number, it is never used unless
the file is S_ISCHR(). But we could use something else, say, i_bytes or
even -&gt;d_fsdata. In any case this hack is hidden inside these 2 helpers,
it would be trivial to change them if needed.

This patch only changes tracing_init_debugfs_percpu() to use the new
trace_create_cpu_file(), the next patches will change file_operations.

Note: tracing_get_cpu(inode) is always safe but you can't trust the
result unless trace_array_get() was called, without trace_types_lock
which acts as a barrier it can wrongly return RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

commit 9457158bbc0ee04ecef76862d73eecd8076e9c7b upstream.

Fixed two issues with changing the timestamp clock with trace_clock:

 - The global buffer was reset on instance clock changes. Change this to pass
   the correct per-instance buffer
 - ftrace_now() is used to set buf-&gt;time_start in tracing_reset_online_cpus().
   This was incorrect because ftrace_now() used the global buffer's clock to
   return the current time. Change this to use buffer_ftrace_now() which
   returns the current time for the correct per-instance buffer.

Also removed tracing_reset_current() because it is not used anywhere
