tracing: Merge irqflags + preempt counter.

2021-02-02T22:02:06Z

The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits (softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed. The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'. tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth (considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one special cases). The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record. The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the state. Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used outside of trace recording. This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and local_save_flags() invocations. As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke: - trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update() - event_trigger_unlock_commit() -> ftrace_trace_stack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update() -> ftrace_trace_userstack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update() In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

ftrace: Have the callbacks receive a struct ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs

2020-11-13T17:14:55Z

In preparation to have arguments of a function passed to callbacks attached to functions as default, change the default callback prototype to receive a struct ftrace_regs as the forth parameter instead of a pt_regs. For callbacks that set the FL_SAVE_REGS flag in their ftrace_ops flags, they will now need to get the pt_regs via a ftrace_get_regs() helper call. If this is called by a callback that their ftrace_ops did not have a FL_SAVE_REGS flag set, it that helper function will return NULL. This will allow the ftrace_regs to hold enough just to get the parameters and stack pointer, but without the worry that callbacks may have a pt_regs that is not completely filled.

ftrace: Add recording of functions that caused recursion

2020-11-06T13:42:26Z

This adds CONFIG_FTRACE_RECORD_RECURSION that will record to a file "recursed_functions" all the functions that caused recursion while a callback to the function tracer was running.

perf/ftrace: Check for rcu_is_watching() in callback function

2020-11-06T13:42:05Z

If a ftrace callback requires "rcu_is_watching", then it adds the FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU flag and it will not be called if RCU is not "watching". But this means that it will use a trampoline when called, and this slows down the function tracing a tad. By checking rcu_is_watching() from within the callback, it no longer needs the RCU flag set in the ftrace_ops and it can be safely called directly.

perf/ftrace: Add recursion protection to the ftrace callback

2020-11-06T13:41:56Z

If a ftrace callback does not supply its own recursion protection and does not set the RECURSION_SAFE flag in its ftrace_ops, then ftrace will make a helper trampoline to do so before calling the callback instead of just calling the callback directly. The default for ftrace_ops is going to change. It will expect that handlers provide their own recursion protection, unless its ftrace_ops states otherwise.

tracing: Fix race in perf_trace_buf initialization

2019-10-21T23:38:28Z

A race condition exists while initialiazing perf_trace_buf from perf_trace_init() and perf_kprobe_init(). CPU0 CPU1 perf_trace_init() mutex_lock(&event_mutex) perf_trace_event_init() perf_trace_event_reg() total_ref_count == 0 buf = alloc_percpu() perf_trace_buf[i] = buf tp_event->class->reg() //fails perf_kprobe_init() goto fail perf_trace_event_init() perf_trace_event_reg() fail: total_ref_count == 0 total_ref_count == 0 buf = alloc_percpu() perf_trace_buf[i] = buf tp_event->class->reg() total_ref_count++ free_percpu(perf_trace_buf[i]) perf_trace_buf[i] = NULL Any subsequent call to perf_trace_event_reg() will observe total_ref_count > 0, causing the perf_trace_buf to be always NULL. This can result in perf_trace_buf getting accessed from perf_trace_buf_alloc() without being initialized. Acquiring event_mutex in perf_kprobe_init() before calling perf_trace_event_init() should fix this race. The race caused the following bug: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000003106f2003c Mem abort info: ESR = 0x96000045 Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000045 CM = 0, WnR = 1 user pgtable: 4k pages, 39-bit VAs, pgdp = ffffffc034b9b000 [0000003106f2003c] pgd=0000000000000000, pud=0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 96000045 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Process syz-executor (pid: 18393, stack limit = 0xffffffc093190000) pstate: 80400005 (Nzcv daif +PAN -UAO) pc : __memset+0x20/0x1ac lr : memset+0x3c/0x50 sp : ffffffc09319fc50 __memset+0x20/0x1ac perf_trace_buf_alloc+0x140/0x1a0 perf_trace_sys_enter+0x158/0x310 syscall_trace_enter+0x348/0x7c0 el0_svc_common+0x11c/0x368 el0_svc_handler+0x12c/0x198 el0_svc+0x8/0xc Ramdumps showed the following: total_ref_count = 3 perf_trace_buf = ( 0x0 -> NULL, 0x0 -> NULL, 0x0 -> NULL, 0x0 -> NULL) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1571120245-4186-1-git-send-email-prsood@codeaurora.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: e12f03d7031a9 ("perf/core: Implement the 'perf_kprobe' PMU") Acked-by: Song Liu Signed-off-by: Prateek Sood Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

perf_event: Add support for LSM and SELinux checks

2019-10-17T19:31:55Z

In current mainline, the degree of access to perf_event_open(2) system call depends on the perf_event_paranoid sysctl. This has a number of limitations: 1. The sysctl is only a single value. Many types of accesses are controlled based on the single value thus making the control very limited and coarse grained. 2. The sysctl is global, so if the sysctl is changed, then that means all processes get access to perf_event_open(2) opening the door to security issues. This patch adds LSM and SELinux access checking which will be used in Android to access perf_event_open(2) for the purposes of attaching BPF programs to tracepoints, perf profiling and other operations from userspace. These operations are intended for production systems. 5 new LSM hooks are added: 1. perf_event_open: This controls access during the perf_event_open(2) syscall itself. The hook is called from all the places that the perf_event_paranoid sysctl is checked to keep it consistent with the systctl. The hook gets passed a 'type' argument which controls CPU, kernel and tracepoint accesses (in this context, CPU, kernel and tracepoint have the same semantics as the perf_event_paranoid sysctl). Additionally, I added an 'open' type which is similar to perf_event_paranoid sysctl == 3 patch carried in Android and several other distros but was rejected in mainline [1] in 2016. 2. perf_event_alloc: This allocates a new security object for the event which stores the current SID within the event. It will be useful when the perf event's FD is passed through IPC to another process which may try to read the FD. Appropriate security checks will limit access. 3. perf_event_free: Called when the event is closed. 4. perf_event_read: Called from the read(2) and mmap(2) syscalls for the event. 5. perf_event_write: Called from the ioctl(2) syscalls for the event. [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/696240/ Since Peter had suggest LSM hooks in 2016 [1], I am adding his Suggested-by tag below. To use this patch, we set the perf_event_paranoid sysctl to -1 and then apply selinux checking as appropriate (default deny everything, and then add policy rules to give access to domains that need it). In the future we can remove the perf_event_paranoid sysctl altogether.

tracing/perf: Use strndup_user() instead of buggy open-coded version

2019-02-21T15:35:10Z

The first version of this method was missing the check for `ret == PATH_MAX`; then such a check was added, but it didn't call kfree() on error, so there was still a small memory leak in the error case. Fix it by using strndup_user() instead of open-coding it.
