commit 2840f84f74035e5a535959d5f17269c69fa6edc5 upstream.

The following commands will cause a memory leak:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # echo schedule &gt; instance/foo/set_ftrace_filter
 # rmdir instances/foo

The reason is that the hashes that hold the filters to set_ftrace_filter and
set_ftrace_notrace are not freed if they contain any data on the instance
and the instance is removed.

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.

commit b61c19209c2c35ea2a2fe502d484703686eba98c upstream.

The create_filter() calls create_filter_start() which allocates a
"parse_error" descriptor, but fails to call create_filter_finish() that
frees it.

The op_stack and inverts in predicate_parse() were also not freed.

commit 5cf99a0f3161bc3ae2391269d134d6bf7e26f00e upstream.

The tracefs file set_graph_function is used to only function graph functions
that are listed in that file (or all functions if the file is empty). The
way this is implemented is that the function graph tracer looks at every
function, and if the current depth is zero and the function matches
something in the file then it will trace that function. When other functions
are called, the depth will be greater than zero (because the original
function will be at depth zero), and all functions will be traced where the
depth is greater than zero.

The issue is that when a function is first entered, and the handler that
checks this logic is called, the depth is set to zero. If an interrupt comes
in and a function in the interrupt handler is traced, its depth will be
greater than zero and it will automatically be traced, even if the original
function was not. But because the logic only looks at depth it may trace
interrupts when it should not be.

The recent design change of the function graph tracer to fix other bugs
caused the depth to be zero while the function graph callback handler is
being called for a longer time, widening the race of this happening. This
bug was actually there for a longer time, but because the race window was so
small it seldom happened. The Fixes tag below is for the commit that widen
the race window, because that commit belongs to a series that will also help
fix the original bug.

<title>function_graph: Reverse the order of pushing the ret_stack and the callback</title>

commit 7c6ea35ef50810aa12ab26f21cb858d980881576 upstream.

The function graph profiler uses the ret_stack to store the "subtime" and
reuse it by nested functions and also on the return. But the current logic
has the profiler callback called before the ret_stack is updated, and it is
just modifying the ret_stack that will later be allocated (it's just lucky
that the "subtime" is not touched when it is allocated).

This could also cause a crash if we are at the end of the ret_stack when
this happens.

By reversing the order of the allocating the ret_stack and then calling the
callbacks attached to a function being traced, the ret_stack entry is no
longer used before it is allocated.

commit 552701dd0fa7c3d448142e87210590ba424694a0 upstream.

In the past, curr_ret_stack had two functions. One was to denote the depth
of the call graph, the other is to keep track of where on the ret_stack the
data is used. Although they may be slightly related, there are two cases
where they need to be used differently.

The one case is that it keeps the ret_stack data from being corrupted by an
interrupt coming in and overwriting the data still in use. The other is just
to know where the depth of the stack currently is.

The function profiler uses the ret_stack to save a "subtime" variable that
is part of the data on the ret_stack. If curr_ret_stack is modified too
early, then this variable can be corrupted.

The "max_depth" option, when set to 1, will record the first functions going
into the kernel. To see all top functions (when dealing with timings), the
depth variable needs to be lowered before calling the return hook. But by
lowering the curr_ret_stack, it makes the data on the ret_stack still being
used by the return hook susceptible to being overwritten.

Now that there's two variables to handle both cases (curr_ret_depth), we can
move them to the locations where they can handle both cases.

commit b1b35f2e218a5b57d03bbc3b0667d5064570dc60 upstream.

The profiler uses trace-&gt;depth to find its entry on the ret_stack, but the
depth may not match the actual location of where its entry is (if an
interrupt were to preempt the processing of the profiler for another
function, the depth and the curr_ret_stack will be different).

Have it use the curr_ret_stack as the index to find its ret_stack entry
instead of using the depth variable, as that is no longer guaranteed to be
the same.

<id>urn:sha1:392374326d2905e1c617fae703237be84ba09e4f</id>

commit 39eb456dacb543de90d3bc6a8e0ac5cf51ac475e upstream.

Currently, the depth of the ret_stack is determined by curr_ret_stack index.
The issue is that there's a race between setting of the curr_ret_stack and
calling of the callback attached to the return of the function.

Commit 03274a3ffb44 ("tracing/fgraph: Adjust fgraph depth before calling
trace return callback") moved the calling of the callback to after the
setting of the curr_ret_stack, even stating that it was safe to do so, when
in fact, it was the reason there was a barrier() there (yes, I should have
commented that barrier()).

Not only does the curr_ret_stack keep track of the current call graph depth,
it also keeps the ret_stack content from being overwritten by new data.

The function profiler, uses the "subtime" variable of ret_stack structure
and by moving the curr_ret_stack, it allows for interrupts to use the same
structure it was using, corrupting the data, and breaking the profiler.

To fix this, there needs to be two variables to handle the call stack depth
and the pointer to where the ret_stack is being used, as they need to change
at two different locations.

commit d125f3f866df88da5a85df00291f88f0baa89f7c upstream.

As all architectures now call function_graph_enter() to do the entry work,
no architecture should ever call ftrace_push_return_trace(). Make it static.

This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack
is used.
