commit 3cec638b3d793b7cacdec5b8072364b41caeb0e1 upstream.

When create_event_filter() fails in set_trigger_filter(), the filter may
still be allocated and needs to be freed. The caller expects the
data-&gt;filter to be updated with the new filter, even if the new filter
failed (we could add an error message by setting set_str parameter of
create_event_filter(), but that's another update).

But because the error would just exit, filter was left hanging and
nothing could free it.

Found by kmemleak detector.

commit 15cc78644d0075e76d59476a4467e7143860f660 upstream.

There was a case that triggered a double free in event_trigger_callback()
due to the called reg() function freeing the trigger_data and then it
getting freed again by the error return by the caller. The solution there
was to up the trigger_data ref count.

Code inspection found that event_enable_trigger_func() has the same issue,
but is not as easy to trigger (requires harder to trigger failures). It
needs to be solved slightly different as it needs more to clean up when the
reg() function fails.

The cause is because the register_snapshot_trigger() call failed to
allocate the snapshot buffer, and then called unregister_trigger()
which freed the data that was passed to it. Then on return to the
function that called register_snapshot_trigger(), as it sees it
failed to register, it frees the trigger_data again and causes
a double free.

By calling event_trigger_init() on the trigger_data (which only ups
the reference counter for it), and then event_trigger_free() afterward,
the trigger_data would not get freed by the registering trigger function
as it would only up and lower the ref count for it. If the register
trigger function fails, then the event_trigger_free() called after it
will free the trigger data normally.

commit 2824f5033248600673e3e126a4d135363cbfd9ac upstream.

The snapshot trigger currently only affects the main ring buffer, even when
it is used by the instances. This can be confusing as the snapshot trigger
is listed in the instance.

 &gt; # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 &gt; # mkdir instances/foo
 &gt; # echo snapshot &gt; instances/foo/events/syscalls/sys_enter_fchownat/trigger
 &gt; # echo top buffer &gt; trace_marker
 &gt; # echo foo buffer &gt; instances/foo/trace_marker
 &gt; # touch /tmp/bar
 &gt; # chown rostedt /tmp/bar
 &gt; # cat instances/foo/snapshot
 # tracer: nop
 #
 #
 # * Snapshot is freed *
 #
 # Snapshot commands:
 # echo 0 &gt; snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer
 # echo 1 &gt; snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated.
 #                      Takes a snapshot of the main buffer.
 # echo 2 &gt; snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate or free)
 #                      (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
 #                       is not a '0' or '1')

 &gt; # cat snapshot
 # tracer: nop
 #
 #                              _-----=&gt; irqs-off
 #                             / _----=&gt; need-resched
 #                            | / _---=&gt; hardirq/softirq

             bash-1189  [000] ....   111.488323: tracing_mark_write: top buffer

Not only did the snapshot occur in the top level buffer, but the instance
snapshot buffer should have been allocated, and it is still free.

commit 86b389ff22bd6ad8fd3cb98e41cd271886c6d023 upstream.

If a instance has an event trigger enabled when it is freed, it could cause
an access of free memory. Here's the case that crashes:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # echo snapshot &gt; instances/foo/events/initcall/initcall_start/trigger
 # rmdir instances/foo

Would produce:

We don't actually need the full rculist.h header in sched.h anymore,
we will be able to include the smaller rcupdate.h header instead.

But first update code that relied on the implicit header inclusion.

Call traceoff trigger after the event is recorded.
Since current traceoff trigger is called before recording
the event, we can not know what event stopped tracing.

Typical usecase of traceoff/traceon trigger is tracing
function calls and trace events between a pair of events.
For example, trace function calls between syscall entry/exit.
In that case, it is useful if we can see the return code
of the target syscall.

<content type='text'>
Named triggers are sets of triggers that share a common set of trigger
data.  An example of functionality that could benefit from this type
of capability would be a set of inlined probes that would each
contribute event counts, for example, to a shared counter data
structure.

The first named trigger registered with a given name owns the common
trigger data that the others subsequently registered with the same
name will reference.  The functions defined here allow users to add,
delete, and find named triggers.

It also adds functions to pause and unpause named triggers; since
named triggers act upon common data, they should also be paused and
unpaused as a group.

Similar to enable_event/disable_event triggers, these triggers enable
and disable the aggregation of events into maps rather than enabling
and disabling their writing into the trace buffer.

They can be used to automatically start and stop hist triggers based
on a matching filter condition.

If there's a paused hist trigger on system:event, the following would
start it when the filter condition was hit:

  # echo enable_hist:system:event [ if filter] &gt; event/trigger

And the following would disable a running system:event hist trigger:

  # echo disable_hist:system:event [ if filter] &gt; event/trigger

See Documentation/trace/events.txt for real examples.

'hist' triggers allow users to continually aggregate trace events,
which can then be viewed afterwards by simply reading a 'hist' file
containing the aggregation in a human-readable format.

The basic idea is very simple and boils down to a mechanism whereby
trace events, rather than being exhaustively dumped in raw form and
viewed directly, are automatically 'compressed' into meaningful tables
completely defined by the user.

This is done strictly via single-line command-line commands and
without the aid of any kind of programming language or interpreter.

A surprising number of typical use cases can be accomplished by users
via this simple mechanism.  In fact, a large number of the tasks that
users typically do using the more complicated script-based tracing
tools, at least during the initial stages of an investigation, can be
accomplished by simply specifying a set of keys and values to be used
in the creation of a hash table.

The Linux kernel trace event subsystem happens to provide an extensive
list of keys and values ready-made for such a purpose in the form of
the event format files associated with each trace event.  By simply
consulting the format file for field names of interest and by plugging
them into the hist trigger command, users can create an endless number
of useful aggregations to help with investigating various properties
of the system.  See Documentation/trace/events.txt for examples.

hist triggers are implemented on top of the existing event trigger
infrastructure, and as such are consistent with the existing triggers
from a user's perspective as well.

The basic syntax follows the existing trigger syntax.  Users start an
aggregation by writing a 'hist' trigger to the event of interest's
trigger file:

  # echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] &gt; event/trigger

Once a hist trigger has been set up, by default it continually
aggregates every matching event into a hash table using the event key
and a value field named 'hitcount'.

To view the aggregation at any point in time, simply read the 'hist'
file in the same directory as the 'trigger' file:

  # cat event/hist

The detailed syntax provides additional options for user control, and
is described exhaustively in Documentation/trace/events.txt and in the
virtual tracing/README file in the tracing subsystem.
