Let pid_list is NULL and assign to tr->filtered_pids. 4. echo 9 >> set_event_pid, will trigger the double register sched_switch tracepoint warning. The reason is that syzkaller injects a fault into the chunk allocation in trace_pid_list_alloc, causing a failure in trace_pid_list_set, which may trigger double register of the same tracepoint.

tracing: Fix tracing_marker may trigger page fault during preempt_disable

2025-09-19T14:32:02Z

[ Upstream commit 3d62ab32df065e4a7797204a918f6489ddb8a237 ] Both tracing_mark_write and tracing_mark_raw_write call __copy_from_user_inatomic during preempt_disable. But in some case, __copy_from_user_inatomic may trigger page fault, and will call schedule() subtly. And if a task is migrated to other cpu, the following warning will be trigger: if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, !local_read(&cpu_buffer->committing))) An example can illustrate this issue: process flow CPU --------------------------------------------------------------------- tracing_mark_raw_write(): cpu:0 ... ring_buffer_lock_reserve(): cpu:0 ... cpu = raw_smp_processor_id() cpu:0 cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] cpu:0 ... ... __copy_from_user_inatomic(): cpu:0 ... # page fault do_mem_abort(): cpu:0 ... # Call schedule schedule() cpu:0 ... # the task schedule to cpu1 __buffer_unlock_commit(): cpu:1 ... ring_buffer_unlock_commit(): cpu:1 ... cpu = raw_smp_processor_id() cpu:1 cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] cpu:1 As shown above, the process will acquire cpuid twice and the return values are not the same. To fix this problem using copy_from_user_nofault instead of __copy_from_user_inatomic, as the former performs 'access_ok' before copying.

ftrace: Fix potential warning in trace_printk_seq during ftrace_dump

2025-09-04T13:30:19Z

[ 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.

tracing: Allow creating instances with specified system events

2025-04-10T12:37:41Z

[ Upstream commit d23569979ca1cd139a42c410e0c7b9e6014c3b3a ] A trace instance may only need to enable specific events. As the eventfs directory of an instance currently creates all events which adds overhead, allow internal instances to be created with just the events in systems that they care about. This currently only deals with systems and not individual events, but this should bring down the overhead of creating instances for specific use cases quite bit. The trace_array_get_by_name() now has another parameter "systems". This parameter is a const string pointer of a comma/space separated list of event systems that should be created by the trace_array. (Note if the trace_array already exists, this parameter is ignored). The list of systems is saved and if a module is loaded, its events will not be added unless the system for those events also match the systems string.

tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk format

2025-01-09T12:31:55Z

[ Upstream commit afd2627f727b89496d79a6b934a025fc916d4ded ] The TP_printk() portion of a trace event is executed at the time a event is read from the trace. This can happen seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years possibly later since the event was recorded. If the print format contains a dereference to a string via "%s", and that string was allocated, there's a chance that string could be freed before it is read by the trace file. To protect against such bugs, there are two functions that verify the event. The first one is test_event_printk(), which is called when the event is created. It reads the TP_printk() format as well as its arguments to make sure nothing may be dereferencing a pointer that was not copied into the ring buffer along with the event. If it is, it will trigger a WARN_ON(). For strings that use "%s", it is not so easy. The string may not reside in the ring buffer but may still be valid. Strings that are static and part of the kernel proper which will not be freed for the life of the running system, are safe to dereference. But to know if it is a pointer to a static string or to something on the heap can not be determined until the event is triggered. This brings us to the second function that tests for the bad dereferencing of strings, trace_check_vprintf(). It would walk through the printf format looking for "%s", and when it finds it, it would validate that the pointer is safe to read. If not, it would produces a WARN_ON() as well and write into the ring buffer "[UNSAFE-MEMORY]". The problem with this is how it used va_list to have vsnprintf() handle all the cases that it didn't need to check. Instead of re-implementing vsnprintf(), it would make a copy of the format up to the %s part, and call vsnprintf() with the current va_list ap variable, where the ap would then be ready to point at the string in question. For architectures that passed va_list by reference this was possible. For architectures that passed it by copy it was not. A test_can_verify() function was used to differentiate between the two, and if it wasn't possible, it would disable it. Even for architectures where this was feasible, it was a stretch to rely on such a method that is undocumented, and could cause issues later on with new optimizations of the compiler. Instead, the first function test_event_printk() was updated to look at "%s" as well. If the "%s" argument is a pointer outside the event in the ring buffer, it would find the field type of the event that is the problem and mark the structure with a new flag called "needs_test". The event itself will be marked by TRACE_EVENT_FL_TEST_STR to let it be known that this event has a field that needs to be verified before the event can be printed using the printf format. When the event fields are created from the field type structure, the fields would copy the field type's "needs_test" value. Finally, before being printed, a new function ignore_event() is called which will check if the event has the TEST_STR flag set (if not, it returns false). If the flag is set, it then iterates through the events fields looking for the ones that have the "needs_test" flag set. Then it uses the offset field from the field structure to find the pointer in the ring buffer event. It runs the tests to make sure that pointer is safe to print and if not, it triggers the WARN_ON() and also adds to the trace output that the event in question has an unsafe memory access. The ignore_event() makes the trace_check_vprintf() obsolete so it is removed.
