<id>urn:sha1:137f4db172afeb1aef3157e992e0e663c7d53aaa</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0722069a5374b904ec1a67f91249f90e1cfae259 upstream.

When printing multiple uprobe arguments as strings the output for the
earlier arguments would also include all later string arguments.

This is best explained in an example:

Consider adding a uprobe to a function receiving two strings as
parameters which is at offset 0xa0 in strlib.so and we want to print
both parameters when the uprobe is hit (on x86_64):

$ echo 'p:func /lib/strlib.so:0xa0 +0(%di):string +0(%si):string' &gt; \
    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

When the function is called as func("foo", "bar") and we hit the probe,
the trace file shows a line like the following:

  [...] func: (0x7f7e683706a0) arg1="foobar" arg2="bar"

Note the extra "bar" printed as part of arg1. This behaviour stacks up
for additional string arguments.

The strings are stored in a dynamically growing part of the uprobe
buffer by fetch_store_string() after copying them from userspace via
strncpy_from_user(). The return value of strncpy_from_user() is then
directly used as the required size for the string. However, this does
not take the terminating null byte into account as the documentation
for strncpy_from_user() cleary states that it "[...] returns the
length of the string (not including the trailing NUL)" even though the
null byte will be copied to the destination.

Therefore, subsequent calls to fetch_store_string() will overwrite
the terminating null byte of the most recently fetched string with
the first character of the current string, leading to the
"accumulation" of strings in earlier arguments in the output.

Fix this by incrementing the return value of strncpy_from_user() by
one if we did not hit the maximum buffer size.

<title>uprobes: Use synchronize_rcu() not synchronize_sched()</title>

commit 016f8ffc48cb01d1e7701649c728c5d2e737d295 upstream.

While debugging another bug, I was looking at all the synchronize*()
functions being used in kernel/trace, and noticed that trace_uprobes was
using synchronize_sched(), with a comment to synchronize with
{u,ret}_probe_trace_func(). When looking at those functions, the data is
protected with "rcu_read_lock()" and not with "rcu_read_lock_sched()". This
is using the wrong synchronize_*() function.

commit 50268a3d266ecfdd6c5873d62b2758d9732fc598 upstream.

Fix string fetch function to terminate with NUL.
It is OK to drop the rest of string.

<title>tracing/uprobes: Do not print '0x (null)' when offset is 0</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a2fb3382edbea83c6f2bf6ac15e3673b2e254aad</id>
<content type='text'>
When manually added uprobe point with zero address, 'uprobe_events'
output '(null)' instead of 0x00000000:

  # echo p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x0 arg1=%ax &gt; \
            /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
    p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x          (null) arg1=%ax

 This patch fixes this behavior:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
  p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x0000000000000000

<title>tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to uprobes</title>

<content type='text'>
By copying BPF related operation to uprobe processing path, this patch
allow users attach BPF programs to uprobes like what they are already
doing on kprobes.

After this patch, users are allowed to use PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF on a
uprobe perf event. Which make it possible to profile user space programs
and kernel events together using BPF.

Because of this patch, CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS should be selected by
CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT to ensure trace_call_bpf() is compiled even if
KPROBE_EVENT is not set.

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It
is not about the trace_events. The ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() tests if a
trace_event is soft disabled (called but not traced), and returns true if
it is. It has nothing to do with function tracing and should be renamed.

instead.

Also renamed ftrace_event_reg() to trace_event_reg() for the same reason.
