ftrace: Fix potential warning in trace_printk_seq during ftrace_dump

2025-09-04T13:26:24Z

[ Upstream commit 4013aef2ced9b756a410f50d12df9ebe6a883e4a ] When calling ftrace_dump_one() concurrently with reading trace_pipe, a WARN_ON_ONCE() in trace_printk_seq() can be triggered due to a race condition. The issue occurs because: CPU0 (ftrace_dump) CPU1 (reader) echo z > /proc/sysrq-trigger !trace_empty(&iter) trace_iterator_reset(&iter) <- len = size = 0 cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe trace_find_next_entry_inc(&iter) __find_next_entry ring_buffer_empty_cpu <- all empty return NULL trace_printk_seq(&iter.seq) WARN_ON_ONCE(s->seq.len >= s->seq.size) In the context between trace_empty() and trace_find_next_entry_inc() during ftrace_dump, the ring buffer data was consumed by other readers. This caused trace_find_next_entry_inc to return NULL, failing to populate `iter.seq`. At this point, due to the prior trace_iterator_reset, both `iter.seq.len` and `iter.seq.size` were set to 0. Since they are equal, the WARN_ON_ONCE condition is triggered. Move the trace_printk_seq() into the if block that checks to make sure the return value of trace_find_next_entry_inc() is non-NULL in ftrace_dump_one(), ensuring the 'iter.seq' is properly populated before subsequent operations.

[ Upstream commit 6a909ea83f226803ea0e718f6e88613df9234d58 ] When the length of the string written to set_ftrace_filter exceeds FTRACE_BUFF_MAX, the following KASAN alarm will be triggered: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in strsep+0x18c/0x1b0 Read of size 1 at addr ffff0000d00bd5ba by task ash/165 CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 165 Comm: ash Not tainted 6.16.0-g6bcdbd62bd56-dirty Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) Call trace: show_stack+0x34/0x50 (C) dump_stack_lvl+0xa0/0x158 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x88/0x398 print_report+0xb0/0x280 kasan_report+0xa4/0xf0 __asan_report_load1_noabort+0x20/0x30 strsep+0x18c/0x1b0 ftrace_process_regex.isra.0+0x100/0x2d8 ftrace_regex_release+0x484/0x618 __fput+0x364/0xa58 ____fput+0x28/0x40 task_work_run+0x154/0x278 do_notify_resume+0x1f0/0x220 el0_svc+0xec/0xf0 el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa0/0xe8 el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0 The reason is that trace_get_user will fail when processing a string longer than FTRACE_BUFF_MAX, but not set the end of parser->buffer to 0. Then an OOB access will be triggered in ftrace_regex_release-> ftrace_process_regex->strsep->strpbrk. We can solve this problem by limiting access to parser->buffer when trace_get_user failed.

tracing: Remove unneeded goto out logic

[ Upstream commit c89504a703fb779052213add0e8ed642f4a4f1c8 ] Several places in the trace.c file there's a goto out where the out is simply a return. There's no reason to jump to the out label if it's not doing any more logic but simply returning from the function. Replace the goto outs with a return and remove the out labels.

tracing: Fix compilation warning on arm32

2025-06-27T10:07:04Z

commit 2fbdb6d8e03b70668c0876e635506540ae92ab05 upstream. On arm32, size_t is defined to be unsigned int, while PAGE_SIZE is unsigned long. This hence triggers a compilation warning as min() asserts the type of two operands to be equal. Casting PAGE_SIZE to size_t solves this issue and works on other target architectures as well. Compilation warning details: kernel/trace/trace.c: In function 'tracing_splice_read_pipe': ./include/linux/minmax.h:20:28: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1))) ^ ./include/linux/minmax.h:26:4: note: in expansion of macro '__typecheck' (__typecheck(x, y) && __no_side_effects(x, y)) ^~~~~~~~~~~ ... kernel/trace/trace.c:6771:8: note: in expansion of macro 'min' min((size_t)trace_seq_used(&iter->seq), ^~~ Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20250526013731.1198030-1-pantaixi@huaweicloud.com Fixes: f5178c41bb43 ("tracing: Fix oob write in trace_seq_to_buffer()") Reviewed-by: Jeongjun Park Signed-off-by: Pan Taixi Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tracing: Have saved_cmdlines arrays all in one allocation

2024-10-17T13:22:10Z

[ Upstream commit 0b18c852cc6fb8284ac0ab97e3e840974a6a8a64 ] The saved_cmdlines have three arrays for mapping PIDs to COMMs: - map_pid_to_cmdline[] - map_cmdline_to_pid[] - saved_cmdlines The map_pid_to_cmdline[] is PID_MAX_DEFAULT in size and holds the index into the other arrays. The map_cmdline_to_pid[] is a mapping back to the full pid as it can be larger than PID_MAX_DEFAULT. And the saved_cmdlines[] just holds the COMMs associated to the pids. Currently the map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[] are allocated together (in reality the saved_cmdlines is just in the memory of the rounding of the allocation of the structure as it is always allocated in powers of two). The map_cmdline_to_pid[] array is allocated separately. Since the rounding to a power of two is rather large (it allows for 8000 elements in saved_cmdlines), also include the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array. (This drops it to 6000 by default, which is still plenty for most use cases). This saves even more memory as the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array doesn't need to be allocated.

tracing: Avoid possible softlockup in tracing_iter_reset()

2024-09-12T09:10:18Z

commit 49aa8a1f4d6800721c7971ed383078257f12e8f9 upstream. In __tracing_open(), when max latency tracers took place on the cpu, the time start of its buffer would be updated, then event entries with timestamps being earlier than start of the buffer would be skipped (see tracing_iter_reset()). Softlockup will occur if the kernel is non-preemptible and too many entries were skipped in the loop that reset every cpu buffer, so add cond_resched() to avoid it.

tracing: Use .flush() call to wake up readers

2024-04-03T13:19:40Z

commit e5d7c1916562f0e856eb3d6f569629fcd535fed2 upstream. The .release() function does not get called until all readers of a file descriptor are finished. If a thread is blocked on reading a file descriptor in ring_buffer_wait(), and another thread closes the file descriptor, it will not wake up the other thread as ring_buffer_wake_waiters() is called by .release(), and that will not get called until the .read() is finished. The issue originally showed up in trace-cmd, but the readers are actually other processes with their own file descriptors. So calling close() would wake up the other tasks because they are blocked on another descriptor then the one that was closed(). But there's other wake ups that solve that issue. When a thread is blocked on a read, it can still hang even when another thread closed its descriptor. This is what the .flush() callback is for. Have the .flush() wake up the readers.
