<id>urn:sha1:f97eb0ab066133483a65c93eb894748de2f6b598</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3bb06eb6e9acf7c4a3e1b5bc87aed398ff8e2253 upstream.

Currently trace_printk() can be used as soon as early_trace_init() is
called from start_kernel(). But if a crash happens, and
"ftrace_dump_on_oops" is set on the kernel command line, all you get will
be:

  [    0.456075]   &lt;idle&gt;-0         0dN.2. 347519us : Unknown type 6
  [    0.456075]   &lt;idle&gt;-0         0dN.2. 353141us : Unknown type 6
  [    0.456075]   &lt;idle&gt;-0         0dN.2. 358684us : Unknown type 6

This is because the trace_printk() event (type 6) hasn't been registered
yet. That gets done via an early_initcall(), which may be early, but not
early enough.

Instead of registering the trace_printk() event (and other ftrace events,
which are not trace events) via an early_initcall(), have them registered at
the same time that trace_printk() can be used. This way, if there is a
crash before early_initcall(), then the trace_printk()s will actually be
useful.

commit c1ac03af6ed45d05786c219d102f37eb44880f28 upstream.

print_trace_line may overflow seq_file buffer. If the event is not
consumed, the while loop keeps peeking this event, causing a infinite loop.

[ Upstream commit f596da3efaf4130ff61cd029558845808df9bf99 ]

When the blk_classic option is enabled, non-blktrace events must be
filtered out. Otherwise, events of other types are output in the blktrace
classic format, which is unexpected.

The problem can be triggered in the following ways:

  # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/blk_classic
  # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable
  # echo blk &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe

commit 19ba6c8af9382c4c05dc6a0a79af3013b9a35cd0 upstream.

The @ftrace_mod is allocated by kzalloc(), so both the members {prev,next}
of @ftrace_mode-&gt;list are NULL, it's not a valid state to call list_del().
If kstrdup() for @ftrace_mod-&gt;{func|module} fails, it goes to @out_free
tag and calls free_ftrace_mod() to destroy @ftrace_mod, then list_del()
will write prev-&gt;next and next-&gt;prev, where null pointer dereference
happens.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008

<title>ring-buffer: Fix race between reset page and reading page</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2b261933e267eac0a95adf0474be805708f898a6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a0fcaaed0c46cf9399d3a2d6e0c87ddb3df0e044 upstream.

The ring buffer is broken up into sub buffers (currently of page size).
Each sub buffer has a pointer to its "tail" (the last event written to the
sub buffer). When a new event is requested, the tail is locally
incremented to cover the size of the new event. This is done in a way that
there is no need for locking.

If the tail goes past the end of the sub buffer, the process of moving to
the next sub buffer takes place. After setting the current sub buffer to
the next one, the previous one that had the tail go passed the end of the
sub buffer needs to be reset back to the original tail location (before
the new event was requested) and the rest of the sub buffer needs to be
"padded".

The race happens when a reader takes control of the sub buffer. As readers
do a "swap" of sub buffers from the ring buffer to get exclusive access to
the sub buffer, it replaces the "head" sub buffer with an empty sub buffer
that goes back into the writable portion of the ring buffer. This swap can
happen as soon as the writer moves to the next sub buffer and before it
updates the last sub buffer with padding.

Because the sub buffer can be released to the reader while the writer is
still updating the padding, it is possible for the reader to see the event
that goes past the end of the sub buffer. This can cause obvious issues.

To fix this, add a few memory barriers so that the reader definitely sees
the updates to the sub buffer, and also waits until the writer has put
back the "tail" of the sub buffer back to the last event that was written
on it.

To be paranoid, it will only spin for 1 second, otherwise it will
warn and shutdown the ring buffer code. 1 second should be enough as
the writer does have preemption disabled. If the writer doesn't move
within 1 second (with preemption disabled) something is horribly
wrong. No interrupt should last 1 second!

<title>ring-buffer: Check pending waiters when doing wake ups as well</title>

commit ec0bbc5ec5664dcee344f79373852117dc672c86 upstream.

The wake up waiters only checks the "wakeup_full" variable and not the
"full_waiters_pending". The full_waiters_pending is set when a waiter is
added to the wait queue. The wakeup_full is only set when an event is
triggered, and it clears the full_waiters_pending to avoid multiple calls
to irq_work_queue().

The irq_work callback really needs to check both wakeup_full as well as
full_waiters_pending such that this code can be used to wake up waiters
when a file is closed that represents the ring buffer and the waiters need
to be woken up.

<title>ring-buffer: Allow splice to read previous partially read pages</title>

<content type='text'>
commit fa8f4a89736b654125fb254b0db753ac68a5fced upstream.

If a page is partially read, and then the splice system call is run
against the ring buffer, it will always fail to read, no matter how much
is in the ring buffer. That's because the code path for a partial read of
the page does will fail if the "full" flag is set.

The splice system call wants full pages, so if the read of the ring buffer
is not yet full, it should return zero, and the splice will block. But if
a previous read was done, where the beginning has been consumed, it should
still be given to the splice caller if the rest of the page has been
written to.

This caused the splice command to never consume data in this scenario, and
let the ring buffer just fill up and lose events.
