commit e3eea1404f5ff7a2ceb7b5e7ba412a6fd94f2935 upstream.

Commit 4104d326b670 ("ftrace: Remove global function list and call function
directly") simplified the ftrace code by removing the global_ops list with a
new design. But this cleanup also broke the filtering of PIDs that are added
to the set_ftrace_pid file.

Add back the proper hooks to have pid filtering working once again.

<title>tracing: Have branch tracer use recursive field of task struct</title>

<id>urn:sha1:624dda42c3e7a00608ca4532b2f7bc127bc0f740</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 6224beb12e190ff11f3c7d4bf50cb2922878f600 upstream.

Fengguang Wu's tests triggered a bug in the branch tracer's start up
test when CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT set. This was because that config
adds some debug logic in the per cpu field, which calls back into
the branch tracer.

The branch tracer has its own recursive checks, but uses a per cpu
variable to implement it. If retrieving the per cpu variable calls
back into the branch tracer, you can see how things will break.

Instead of using a per cpu variable, use the trace_recursion field
of the current task struct. Simply set a bit when entering the
branch tracing and clear it when leaving. If the bit is set on
entry, just don't do the tracing.

There's also the case with lockdep, as the local_irq_save() called
before the recursion can also trigger code that can call back into
the function. Changing that to a raw_local_irq_save() will protect
that as well.

This prevents the recursion and the inevitable crash that follows.

commit cc9e4bde03f2b4cfba52406c021364cbd2a4a0f3 upstream.

The trace.h header when called without CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING enabled
(seldom done), will not compile because of a typo in the protocol
of trace_event_enum_update().

<title>tracing/filter: Do not allow infix to exceed end of string</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 6b88f44e161b9ee2a803e5b2b1fbcf4e20e8b980 upstream.

While debugging a WARN_ON() for filtering, I found that it is possible
for the filter string to be referenced after its end. With the filter:

 # echo '&gt;' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/events/ext4/ext4_truncate_exit/filter

The filter_parse() function can call infix_get_op() which calls
infix_advance() that updates the infix filter pointers for the cnt
and tail without checking if the filter is already at the end, which
will put the cnt to zero and the tail beyond the end. The loop then calls
infix_next() that has

	ps-&gt;infix.cnt--;
	return ps-&gt;infix.string[ps-&gt;infix.tail++];

The cnt will now be below zero, and the tail that is returned is
already passed the end of the filter string. So far the allocation
of the filter string usually has some buffer that is zeroed out, but
if the filter string is of the exact size of the allocated buffer
there's no guarantee that the charater after the nul terminating
character will be zero.

Luckily, only root can write to the filter.

<title>tracing/filter: Do not WARN on operand count going below zero</title>

<content type='text'>
commit b4875bbe7e68f139bd3383828ae8e994a0df6d28 upstream.

When testing the fix for the trace filter, I could not come up with
a scenario where the operand count goes below zero, so I added a
WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt &lt; 0) to the logic. But there is legitimate case
that it can happen (although the filter would be wrong).

 # echo '&gt;' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/events/ext4/ext4_truncate_exit/filter

That is, a single operation without any operands will hit the path
where the WARN_ON_ONCE() can trigger. Although this is harmless,
and the filter is reported as a error. But instead of spitting out
a warning to the kernel dmesg, just fail nicely and report it via
the proper channels.

Worse yet, reading the error message (the filter again) it says that
there was no error, when there clearly was. The issue is that the
code that checks the input does not check for balanced ops. That is,
having an op between a closed parenthesis and the next token.

This would only cause a warning, and fail out before doing any real
harm, but it should still not caues a warning, and the error reported
should work:

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 # echo "((dev==1)blocks==2)" &gt; events/ext4/ext4_truncate_exit/filter
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
 # cat events/ext4/ext4_truncate_exit/filter
((dev==1)blocks==2)
^
parse_error: Meaningless filter expression

And give no kernel warning.

The only caller to this function (__print_array) was getting it wrong by
passing the array length instead of buffer length. As the element size
was already being passed for other reasons it seems reasonable to push
the calculation of buffer length into the function.

  The first is a bug when ftrace_dump_on_oops is triggered in atomic
  context and function graph tracer is the tracer that is being
  reported.

  The second fix is bad parsing of the trace_events from the kernel
  command line, where it would ignore specific events if the system name
  is used with defining the event(it enables all events within the
  system).

  The last one is a fix to the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), where a check was
  missing to see if the ptr was incremented to the end of the string,
  but the loop increments it again and can miss the nul delimiter to
  stop processing"
