commit f6675872db57305fa957021efc788f9983ed3b67 upstream.

Commit 9178412ddf5a ("tracing: probeevent: Return consumed
bytes of dynamic area") improved the string fetching
mechanism by returning the number of required bytes after
copying the argument to the dynamic area. However, this
return value is now only used to increment the pointer
inside the dynamic area but misses updating the 'maxlen'
variable which indicates the remaining space in the dynamic
area.

This means that fetch_store_string() always reads the *total*
size of the dynamic area from the data_loc pointer instead of
the *remaining* size (and passes it along to
strncpy_from_{user,unsafe}) even if we're already about to
copy data into the middle of the dynamic area.

The subsystem-specific message prefix for uprobes was also
"trace_kprobe: " instead of "trace_uprobe: " as described in
the original commit message.

<title>tracing/uprobes: Fix output for multiple string arguments</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2e47e83acba8cdd302791e7924c8e27b6ba1bc42</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.

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.

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.

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.

 "Two more fixes:

   - Change idx variable in DO_TRACE macro to __idx to avoid name
     conflicts. A kvm event had "idx" as a parameter and it confused the
     macro.

   - Fix a race where interrupts would be traced when set_graph_function
     was set. The previous patch set increased a race window that
     tricked the function graph tracer to think it should trace
     interrupts when it really should not have.

     The bug has been there before, but was seldom hit. Only the last
     patch series made it more common"

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "While rewriting the function graph tracer, I discovered a design flaw
  that was introduced by a patch that tried to fix one bug, but by doing
  so created another bug.

  As both bugs corrupt the output (but they do not crash the kernel), I
  decided to fix the design such that it could have both bugs fixed. The
  original fix, fixed time reporting of the function graph tracer when
  doing a max_depth of one. This was code that can test how much the
  kernel interferes with userspace. But in doing so, it could corrupt
  the time keeping of the function profiler.

  The issue is that the curr_ret_stack variable was being used for two
  different meanings. One was to keep track of the stack pointer on the
  ret_stack (shadow stack used by the function graph tracer), and the
  other use case was the graph call depth. Although, the two may be
  closely related, where they got updated was the issue that lead to the
  two different bugs that required the two use cases to be updated
  differently.

  The big issue with this fix is that it requires changing each
  architecture. The good news is, I was able to remove a lot of code
  that was duplicated within the architectures and place it into a
  single location. Then I could make the fix in one place.

  I pushed this code into linux-next to let it settle over a week, and
  before doing so, I cross compiled all the affected architectures to
  make sure that they built fine.

  In the mean time, I also pulled in a patch that fixes the sched_switch
  previous tasks state output, that was not actually correct"

<content type='text'>
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.
