commit dfb4a6f2191a80c8b790117d0ff592fd712d3296 upstream.

In case of errors, predicate_parse() goes to the out_free label
to free memory and to return an error code.

However, predicate_parse() does not free the predicates of the
temporary prog_stack array, thence leaking them.

[ Upstream commit 4a6c91fbdef846ec7250b82f2eeeb87ac5f18cf9 ]

For CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING=y the likely/unlikely things get
overloaded and generate callouts to this code, and thus also when
AC=1.

Make it safe.

<title>tracing: Add a check_val() check before updating cond_snapshot() track_val</title>

commit 9b2ca371b1505a547217b244f903ad3fb86fa5b4 upstream.

Without this check a snapshot is taken whenever a bucket's max is hit,
rather than only when the global max is hit, as it should be.

Before:

  In this example, we do a first run of the workload (cyclictest),
  examine the output, note the max ('triggering value') (347), then do
  a second run and note the max again.

  In this case, the max in the second run (39) is below the max in the
  first run, but since we haven't cleared the histogram, the first max
  is still in the histogram and is higher than any other max, so it
  should still be the max for the snapshot.  It isn't however - the
  value should still be 347 after the second run.

  any bucket, as it should be.

commit 3dd1f7f24f8ceec00bbbc364c2ac3c893f0fdc4c upstream.

Fix to make the type of $comm "string".  If we set the other type to $comm
argument, it shows meaningless value or wrong data. Currently probe events
allow us to set string array type (e.g. ":string[2]"), or other digit types
like x8 on $comm. But since clearly $comm is just a string data, it should
not be fetched by other types including array.

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

<id>urn:sha1:692cbbd481524c650a6845fd5539d3906e1b291f</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.

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.

In trace_pid_write(), the buffer for trace parser is allocated through
kmalloc() in trace_parser_get_init(). Later on, after the buffer is used,
it is then freed through kfree() in trace_parser_put(). However, it is
possible that trace_pid_write() is terminated due to unexpected errors,
e.g., ENOMEM. In that case, the allocated buffer will not be freed, which
is a memory leak bug.

To fix this issue, free the allocated buffer when an error is encountered.

This fixes multiple issues in buffer_pipe_buf_ops:

 - The -&gt;steal() handler must not return zero unless the pipe buffer has
   the only reference to the page. But generic_pipe_buf_steal() assumes
   that every reference to the pipe is tracked by the page's refcount,
   which isn't true for these buffers - buffer_pipe_buf_get(), which
   duplicates a buffer, doesn't touch the page's refcount.
   Fix it by using generic_pipe_buf_nosteal(), which refuses every
   attempted theft. It should be easy to actually support -&gt;steal, but the
   only current users of pipe_buf_steal() are the virtio console and FUSE,
   and they also only use it as an optimization. So it's probably not worth
   the effort.
 - The -&gt;get() and -&gt;release() handlers can be invoked concurrently on pipe
   buffers backed by the same struct buffer_ref. Make them safe against
   concurrency by using refcount_t.
 - The pointers stored in -&gt;private were only zeroed out when the last
   reference to the buffer_ref was dropped. As far as I know, this
   shouldn't be necessary anyway, but if we do it, let's always do it.

Mark ftrace mcount handler functions nokprobe since
probing on these functions with kretprobe pushes
return address incorrectly on kretprobe shadow stack.
