commit 46cc0b44428d0f0e81f11ea98217fc0edfbeab07 upstream.

Current snapshot implementation swaps two ring_buffers even though their
sizes are different from each other, that can cause an inconsistency
between the contents of buffer_size_kb file and the current buffer size.

For example:

  # cat buffer_size_kb
  7 (expanded: 1408)
  # echo 1 &gt; events/enable
  # grep bytes per_cpu/cpu0/stats
  bytes: 1441020
  # echo 1 &gt; snapshot             // current:1408, spare:1408
  # echo 123 &gt; buffer_size_kb     // current:123,  spare:1408
  # echo 1 &gt; snapshot             // current:1408, spare:123
  # grep bytes per_cpu/cpu0/stats
  bytes: 1443700
  # cat buffer_size_kb
  123                             // != current:1408

And also, a similar per-cpu case hits the following WARNING:

Reproducer:

  # echo 1 &gt; per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
  # echo 123 &gt; buffer_size_kb
  # echo 1 &gt; per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot

<title>tracing: Silence GCC 9 array bounds warning</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f7247666a71ad147a5f2ecbd1b09cb3e6c7b6a32</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0c97bf863efce63d6ab7971dad811601e6171d2f upstream.

Starting with GCC 9, -Warray-bounds detects cases when memset is called
starting on a member of a struct but the size to be cleared ends up
writing over further members.

Such a call happens in the trace code to clear, at once, all members
after and including `seq` on struct trace_iterator:

    In function 'memset',
        inlined from 'ftrace_dump' at kernel/trace/trace.c:8914:3:
    ./include/linux/string.h:344:9: warning: '__builtin_memset' offset
    [8505, 8560] from the object at 'iter' is out of the bounds of
    referenced subobject 'seq' with type 'struct trace_seq' at offset
    4368 [-Warray-bounds]
      344 |  return __builtin_memset(p, c, size);
          |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to avoid GCC complaining about it, we compute the address
ourselves by adding the offsetof distance instead of referring
directly to the member.

Since there are two places doing this clear (trace.c and trace_kdb.c),
take the chance to move the workaround into a single place in
the internal header.

<title>tracing: Fix partial reading of trace event's id file</title>

<id>urn:sha1:11988047b39ad52bc455fb8ba6ad202ddcea0b24</id>
<content type='text'>
commit cbe08bcbbe787315c425dde284dcb715cfbf3f39 upstream.

When reading only part of the id file, the ppos isn't tracked correctly.
This is taken care by simple_read_from_buffer.

Reading a single byte, and then the next byte would result EOF.

While this seems like not a big deal, this breaks abstractions that
reads information from files unbuffered. See for example
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/29399

This code was mentioned as problematic in
commit cd458ba9d5a5
("tracing: Do not (ab)use trace_seq in event_id_read()")

An example C code that show this bug is:

  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdint.h&gt;

  #include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;
  #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
  #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

  int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    if (argc &lt; 2)
      return 1;
    int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
    char c;
    read(fd, &amp;c, 1);
    printf("First  %c\n", c);
    read(fd, &amp;c, 1);
    printf("Second %c\n", c);
  }

Then run with, e.g.

  sudo ./a.out /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/tcp_set_state/id

You'll notice you're getting the first character twice, instead of the
first two characters in the id file.

commit d6097c9e4454adf1f8f2c9547c2fa6060d55d952 upstream.

Unless the very next line is schedule(), or implies it, one must not use
preempt_enable_no_resched(). It can cause a preemption to go missing and
thereby cause arbitrary delays, breaking the PREEMPT=y invariant.

[ Upstream commit 31b265b3baaf55f209229888b7ffea523ddab366 ]

As reported back in 2016-11 [1], the "ftdump" kdb command triggers a
BUG for "sleeping function called from invalid context".

kdb's "ftdump" command wants to call ring_buffer_read_prepare() in
atomic context.  A very simple solution for this is to add allocation
flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() so kdb can call it without
triggering the allocation error.  This patch does that.

Note that in the original email thread about this, it was suggested
that perhaps the solution for kdb was to either preallocate the buffer
ahead of time or create our own iterator.  I'm hoping that this
alternative of adding allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare()
can be considered since it means I don't need to duplicate more of the
core trace code into "trace_kdb.c" (for either creating my own
iterator or re-preparing a ring allocator whose memory was already
allocated).

NOTE: another option for kdb is to actually figure out how to make it
reuse the existing ftrace_dump() function and totally eliminate the
duplication.  This sounds very appealing and actually works (the "sr
z" command can be seen to properly dump the ftrace buffer).  The
downside here is that ftrace_dump() fully consumes the trace buffer.
Unless that is changed I'd rather not use it because it means "ftdump
| grep xyz" won't be very useful to search the ftrace buffer since it
will throw away the whole trace on the first grep.  A future patch to
dump only the last few lines of the buffer will also be hard to
implement.

commit e7f0c424d0806b05d6f47be9f202b037eb701707 upstream.

Commit d716ff71dd12 ("tracing: Remove taking of trace_types_lock in
pipe files") use the current tracer instead of the copy in
tracing_open_pipe(), but it forget to remove the freeing sentence in
the error path.

There's an error path that can call kfree(iter-&gt;trace) after the iter-&gt;trace
was assigned to tr-&gt;current_trace, which would be bad to free.

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

<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.

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.
