tracing: Fix crash when it fails to alloc ring buffer

2018-01-02T19:33:22Z

commit 24f2aaf952ee0b59f31c3a18b8b36c9e3d3c2cf5 upstream. Double free of the ring buffer happens when it fails to alloc new ring buffer instance for max_buffer if TRACER_MAX_TRACE is configured. The root cause is that the pointer is not set to NULL after the buffer is freed in allocate_trace_buffers(), and the freeing of the ring buffer is invoked again later if the pointer is not equal to Null, as: instance_mkdir() |-allocate_trace_buffers() |-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->trace_buffer...) |-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->max_buffer...) // allocate fail(-ENOMEM),first free // and the buffer pointer is not set to null |-ring_buffer_free(tr->trace_buffer.buffer) // out_free_tr |-free_trace_buffers() |-free_trace_buffer(&tr->trace_buffer); //if trace_buffer is not null, free again |-ring_buffer_free(buf->buffer) |-rb_free_cpu_buffer(buffer->buffers[cpu]) // ring_buffer_per_cpu is null, and // crash in ring_buffer_per_cpu->pages Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171226071253.8968-1-chunyan.zhang@spreadtrum.com Fixes: 737223fbca3b1 ("tracing: Consolidate buffer allocation code") Signed-off-by: Jing Xia Signed-off-by: Chunyan Zhang Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tracing: Fix possible double free on failure of allocating trace buffer

2018-01-02T19:33:22Z

commit 4397f04575c44e1440ec2e49b6302785c95fd2f8 upstream. Jing Xia and Chunyan Zhang reported that on failing to allocate part of the tracing buffer, memory is freed, but the pointers that point to them are not initialized back to NULL, and later paths may try to free the freed memory again. Jing and Chunyan fixed one of the locations that does this, but missed a spot.

tracing: Remove extra zeroing out of the ring buffer page

2018-01-02T19:33:21Z

commit 6b7e633fe9c24682df550e5311f47fb524701586 upstream. The ring_buffer_read_page() takes care of zeroing out any extra data in the page that it returns. There's no need to zero it out again from the consumer. It was removed from one consumer of this function, but read_buffers_splice_read() did not remove it, and worse, it contained a nasty bug because of it.

tracing: Allocate mask_str buffer dynamically

2017-12-20T09:04:51Z

commit 90e406f96f630c07d631a021fd4af10aac913e77 upstream. The default NR_CPUS can be very large, but actual possible nr_cpu_ids usually is very small. For my x86 distribution, the NR_CPUS is 8192 and nr_cpu_ids is 4. About 2 pages are wasted. Most machines don't have so many CPUs, so define a array with NR_CPUS just wastes memory. So let's allocate the buffer dynamically when need. With this change, the mutext tracing_cpumask_update_lock also can be removed now, which was used to protect mask_str.

tracing: Erase irqsoff trace with empty write

2017-10-05T07:41:44Z

commit 8dd33bcb7050dd6f8c1432732f930932c9d3a33e upstream. One convenient way to erase trace is "echo > trace". However, this is currently broken if the current tracer is irqsoff tracer. This is because irqsoff tracer use max_buffer as the default trace buffer. Set the max_buffer as the one to be cleared when it's the trace buffer currently in use.

tracing: Fix trace_pipe behavior for instance traces

2017-10-05T07:41:44Z

commit 75df6e688ccd517e339a7c422ef7ad73045b18a2 upstream. When reading data from trace_pipe, tracing_wait_pipe() performs a check to see if tracing has been turned off after some data was read. Currently, this check always looks at global trace state, but it should be checking the trace instance where trace_pipe is located at. Because of this bug, cat instances/i1/trace_pipe in the following script will immediately exit instead of waiting for data: cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing echo 0 > tracing_on mkdir -p instances/i1 echo 1 > instances/i1/tracing_on echo 1 > instances/i1/events/sched/sched_process_exec/enable cat instances/i1/trace_pipe Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170917102348.1615-1-tahsin@google.com Fixes: 10246fa35d4f ("tracing: give easy way to clear trace buffer") Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tracing: Apply trace_clock changes to instance max buffer

2017-09-27T09:00:16Z

commit 170b3b1050e28d1ba0700e262f0899ffa4fccc52 upstream. Currently trace_clock timestamps are applied to both regular and max buffers only for global trace. For instance trace, trace_clock timestamps are applied only to regular buffer. But, regular and max buffers can be swapped, for example, following a snapshot. So, for instance trace, bad timestamps can be seen following a snapshot. Let's apply trace_clock timestamps to instance max buffer as well.

tracing: Use SOFTIRQ_OFFSET for softirq dectection for more accurate results

2017-07-21T05:44:59Z

commit c59f29cb144a6a0dfac16ede9dc8eafc02dc56ca upstream. The 's' flag is supposed to indicate that a softirq is running. This can be detected by testing the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_OFFSET. The current code tests the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_MASK, which would be true even when softirqs are disabled but not serving a softirq.

tracing: Allocate the snapshot buffer before enabling probe

2017-04-27T07:09:31Z

commit df62db5be2e5f070ecd1a5ece5945b590ee112e0 upstream. Currently the snapshot trigger enables the probe and then allocates the snapshot. If the probe triggers before the allocation, it could cause the snapshot to fail and turn tracing off. It's best to allocate the snapshot buffer first, and then enable the trigger. If something goes wrong in the enabling of the trigger, the snapshot buffer is still allocated, but it can also be freed by the user by writting zero into the snapshot buffer file. Also add a check of the return status of alloc_snapshot().
