commit 823e670f7ed616d0ce993075c8afe0217885f79d upstream.

With the new osnoise tracer, we are seeing the below splat:

osnoise tracer on ppc64le is triggering osnoise_taint() for negative
duration in get_int_safe_duration() called from
trace_sched_switch_callback()-&gt;thread_exit().

The problem though is that the check for a valid trace_percpu_buffer is
incorrect in get_trace_buf(). The check is being done after calculating
the pointer for the current cpu, rather than on the main percpu pointer.
Fix the check to be against trace_percpu_buffer.

<title>tracing/histogram: Rename "cpu" to "common_cpu"</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c0add455ae992b53b0d52cd4d8682528b4014c42</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1e3bac71c5053c99d438771fc9fa5082ae5d90aa upstream.

Currently the histogram logic allows the user to write "cpu" in as an
event field, and it will record the CPU that the event happened on.

The problem with this is that there's a lot of events that have "cpu"
as a real field, and using "cpu" as the CPU it ran on, makes it
impossible to run histograms on the "cpu" field of events.

For example, if I want to have a histogram on the count of the
workqueue_queue_work event on its cpu field, running:

 &gt;# echo 'hist:keys=cpu' &gt; events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger

Gives a misleading and wrong result.

Change the command to "common_cpu" as no event should have "common_*"
fields as that's a reserved name for fields used by all events. And
this makes sense here as common_cpu would be a field used by all events.

Now we can even do:

 &gt;# echo 'hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu if cpu &lt; 100' &gt; events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger
 &gt;# cat events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/hist
 # event histogram
 #
 # trigger info: hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if cpu &lt; 100 [active]
 #

 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          2 } hitcount:          1
 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          4 } hitcount:          1
 { common_cpu:          7, cpu:          7 } hitcount:          1
 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          7 } hitcount:          1
 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          1 } hitcount:          1
 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          6 } hitcount:          2
 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          5 } hitcount:          2
 { common_cpu:          1, cpu:          1 } hitcount:          4
 { common_cpu:          6, cpu:          6 } hitcount:          4
 { common_cpu:          5, cpu:          5 } hitcount:         14
 { common_cpu:          4, cpu:          4 } hitcount:         26
 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          0 } hitcount:         39
 { common_cpu:          2, cpu:          2 } hitcount:        184

Now for backward compatibility, I added a trick. If "cpu" is used, and
the field is not found, it will fall back to "common_cpu" and work as
it did before. This way, it will still work for old programs that use
"cpu" to get the actual CPU, but if the event has a "cpu" as a field, it
will get that event's "cpu" field, which is probably what it wants
anyway.

I updated the tracefs/README to include documentation about both the
common_timestamp and the common_cpu. This way, if that text is present in
the README, then an application can know that common_cpu is supported over
just plain "cpu".

<title>tracing: Resize tgid_map to pid_max, not PID_MAX_DEFAULT</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 4030a6e6a6a4a42ff8c18414c9e0c93e24cc70b8 upstream.

Currently tgid_map is sized at PID_MAX_DEFAULT entries, which means that
on systems where pid_max is configured higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT the
ftrace record-tgid option doesn't work so well. Any tasks with PIDs
higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT are simply not recorded in tgid_map, and
don't show up in the saved_tgids file.

In particular since systemd v243 &amp; above configure pid_max to its
highest possible 1&lt;&lt;22 value by default on 64 bit systems this renders
the record-tgids option of little use.

Increase the size of tgid_map to the configured pid_max instead,
allowing it to cover the full range of PIDs up to the maximum value of
PID_MAX_LIMIT if the system is configured that way.

On 64 bit systems with pid_max == PID_MAX_LIMIT this will increase the
size of tgid_map from 256KiB to 16MiB. Whilst this 64x increase in
memory overhead sounds significant 64 bit systems are presumably best
placed to accommodate it, and since tgid_map is only allocated when the
record-tgid option is actually used presumably the user would rather it
spends sufficient memory to actually record the tgids they expect.

The size of tgid_map could also increase for CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=y
configurations, but these seem unlikely to be systems upon which people
are both configuring a large pid_max and running ftrace with record-tgid
anyway.

Of note is that we only allocate tgid_map once, the first time that the
record-tgid option is enabled. Therefore its size is only set once, to
the value of pid_max at the time the record-tgid option is first
enabled. If a user increases pid_max after that point, the saved_tgids
file will not contain entries for any tasks with pids beyond the earlier
value of pid_max.

commit b81b3e959adb107cd5b36c7dc5ba1364bbd31eb2 upstream.

The tgid_map array records a mapping from pid to tgid, where the index
of an entry within the array is the pid &amp; the value stored at that index
is the tgid.

The saved_tgids_next() function iterates over pointers into the tgid_map
array &amp; dereferences the pointers which results in the tgid, but then it
passes that dereferenced value to trace_find_tgid() which treats it as a
pid &amp; does a further lookup within the tgid_map array. It seems likely
that the intent here was to skip over entries in tgid_map for which the
recorded tgid is zero, but instead we end up skipping over entries for
which the thread group leader hasn't yet had its own tgid recorded in
tgid_map.

A minimal fix would be to remove the call to trace_find_tgid, turning:

  if (trace_find_tgid(*ptr))

into:

  if (*ptr)

..but it seems like this logic can be much simpler if we simply let
seq_read() iterate over the whole tgid_map array &amp; filter out empty
entries by returning SEQ_SKIP from saved_tgids_show(). Here we take that
approach, removing the incorrect logic here entirely.

commit 4fdd595e4f9a1ff6d93ec702eaecae451cfc6591 upstream.

A while ago, when the "trace" file was opened, tracing was stopped, and
code was added to stop recording the comms to saved_cmdlines, for mapping
of the pids to the task name.

Code has been added that only records the comm if a trace event occurred,
and there's no reason to not trace it if the trace file is opened.

<content type='text'>
commit 85550c83da421fb12dc1816c45012e1e638d2b38 upstream.

The saved_cmdlines is used to map pids to the task name, such that the
output of the tracing does not just show pids, but also gives a human
readable name for the task.

If the name is not mapped, the output looks like this:

    &lt;...&gt;-1316          [005] ...2   132.044039: ...

Instead of this:

    gnome-shell-1316    [005] ...2   132.044039: ...

The names are updated when tracing is running, but are skipped if tracing
is stopped. Unfortunately, this stops the recording of the names if the
top level tracer is stopped, and not if there's other tracers active.

The recording of a name only happens when a new event is written into a
ring buffer, so there is no need to test if tracing is on or not. If
tracing is off, then no event is written and no need to test if tracing is
off or not.

Remove the check, as it hides the names of tasks for events in the
instance buffers.

James Wang has reproduced it stably on the latest 4.19 LTS.
After some debugging, we finally proved that it's due to ftrace
buffer out-of-bound access using a debug tool as follows:

commit b220c049d519 ("tracing: Check length before giving out
the filter buffer") adds length check to protect trace data
overflow introduced in 0fc1b09ff1ff, seems that this fix can't prevent
overflow entirely, the length check should also take the sizeof
entry-&gt;array[0] into account, since this array[0] is filled the
length of trace data and occupy addtional space and risk overflow.

commit 785e3c0a3a870e72dc530856136ab4c8dd207128 upstream.

The default max PID is set by PID_MAX_DEFAULT, and the tracing
infrastructure uses this number to map PIDs to the comm names of the
tasks, such output of the trace can show names from the recorded PIDs in
the ring buffer. This mapping is also exported to user space via the
"saved_cmdlines" file in the tracefs directory.

But currently the mapping expects the PIDs to be less than
PID_MAX_DEFAULT, which is the default maximum and not the real maximum.
Recently, systemd will increases the maximum value of a PID on the system,
and when tasks are traced that have a PID higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT, its
comm is not recorded. This leads to the entire trace to have "&lt;...&gt;" as
the comm name, which is pretty useless.

Instead, keep the array mapping the size of PID_MAX_DEFAULT, but instead
of just mapping the index to the comm, map a mask of the PID
(PID_MAX_DEFAULT - 1) to the comm, and find the full PID from the
map_cmdline_to_pid array (that already exists).

This bug goes back to the beginning of ftrace, but hasn't been an issue
until user space started increasing the maximum value of PIDs.

<title>tracing: Fix stack trace event size</title>

commit 9deb193af69d3fd6dd8e47f292b67c805a787010 upstream.

Commit cbc3b92ce037 fixed an issue to modify the macros of the stack trace
event so that user space could parse it properly. Originally the stack
trace format to user space showed that the called stack was a dynamic
array. But it is not actually a dynamic array, in the way that other
dynamic event arrays worked, and this broke user space parsing for it. The
update was to make the array look to have 8 entries in it. Helper
functions were added to make it parse it correctly, as the stack was
dynamic, but was determined by the size of the event stored.

Although this fixed user space on how it read the event, it changed the
internal structure used for the stack trace event. It changed the array
size from [0] to [8] (added 8 entries). This increased the size of the
stack trace event by 8 words. The size reserved on the ring buffer was the
size of the stack trace event plus the number of stack entries found in
the stack trace. That commit caused the amount to be 8 more than what was
needed because it did not expect the caller field to have any size. This
produced 8 entries of garbage (and reading random data) from the stack
trace event:

          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] d... 1976396.837549: &lt;stack trace&gt;
 =&gt; trace_event_raw_event_sched_switch
 =&gt; __traceiter_sched_switch
 =&gt; __schedule
 =&gt; schedule_idle
 =&gt; do_idle
 =&gt; cpu_startup_entry
 =&gt; secondary_startup_64_no_verify
 =&gt; 0xc8c5e150ffff93de
 =&gt; 0xffff93de
 =&gt; 0
 =&gt; 0
 =&gt; 0xc8c5e17800000000
 =&gt; 0x1f30affff93de
 =&gt; 0x00000004
 =&gt; 0x200000000

Instead, subtract the size of the caller field from the size of the event
to make sure that only the amount needed to store the stack trace is
reserved.
