[ Upstream commit 3572bd5689b0812b161b40279e39ca5b66d73e88 ]

The kprobes and synth event generation test modules add events and lock
(get a reference) those event file reference in module init function,
and unlock and delete it in module exit function. This is because those
are designed for playing as modules.

If we make those modules as built-in, those events are left locked in the
kernel, and never be removed. This causes kprobe event self-test failure
as below.

And also, since we can not cleanup dynamic_event file, ftracetest are
failed too.

To avoid these issues, build these tests only as modules.

<title>ring-buffer: Fix a race between readers and resize checks</title>

commit c2274b908db05529980ec056359fae916939fdaa upstream.

The reader code in rb_get_reader_page() swaps a new reader page into the
ring buffer by doing cmpxchg on old-&gt;list.prev-&gt;next to point it to the
new page. Following that, if the operation is successful,
old-&gt;list.next-&gt;prev gets updated too. This means the underlying
doubly-linked list is temporarily inconsistent, page-&gt;prev-&gt;next or
page-&gt;next-&gt;prev might not be equal back to page for some page in the
ring buffer.

The resize operation in ring_buffer_resize() can be invoked in parallel.
It calls rb_check_pages() which can detect the described inconsistency
and stop further tracing:

Note that ring_buffer_resize() calls rb_check_pages() only if the parent
trace_buffer has recording disabled. Recent commit d78ab792705c
("tracing: Stop current tracer when resizing buffer") causes that it is
now always the case which makes it more likely to experience this issue.

The window to hit this race is nonetheless very small. To help
reproducing it, one can add a delay loop in rb_get_reader_page():

 ret = rb_head_page_replace(reader, cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page);
 if (!ret)
 	goto spin;
 for (unsigned i = 0; i &lt; 1U &lt;&lt; 26; i++)  /* inserted delay loop */
 	__asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory");
 rb_list_head(reader-&gt;list.next)-&gt;prev = &amp;cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page-&gt;list;

.. and then run the following commands on the target system:

 echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/enable
 while true; do
 	echo 16 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 	echo 8 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 done &amp;
 while true; do
 	for i in /sys/kernel/tracing/per_cpu/*; do
 		timeout 0.1 cat $i/trace_pipe; sleep 0.2
 	done
 done

To fix the problem, make sure ring_buffer_resize() doesn't invoke
rb_check_pages() concurrently with a reader operating on the same
ring_buffer_per_cpu by taking its cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_lock.

commit e60b613df8b6253def41215402f72986fee3fc8d upstream.

KASAN reports a bug:

The root cause is that, in lookup_rec(), ftrace record of some address
is being searched in ftrace pages of some module, but those ftrace pages
at the same time is being freed in ftrace_release_mod() as the
corresponding module is being deleted:

           CPU1                       |      CPU2
  register_kprobes() {                | delete_module() {
    check_kprobe_address_safe() {     |
      arch_check_ftrace_location() {  |
        ftrace_location() {           |
          lookup_rec() // USE!        |   ftrace_release_mod() // Free!

To fix this issue:
  1. Hold rcu lock as accessing ftrace pages in ftrace_location_range();
  2. Use ftrace_location_range() instead of lookup_rec() in
     ftrace_location();
  3. Call synchronize_rcu() before freeing any ftrace pages both in
     ftrace_process_locs()/ftrace_release_mod()/ftrace_free_mem().

[ Upstream commit 5281ec83454d70d98b71f1836fb16512566c01cd ]

When CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS, a 'make W=1' build produces a warning about the
unused ftrace_event_id_fops variable:

kernel/trace/trace_events.c:2155:37: error: 'ftrace_event_id_fops' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-const-variable=]
 2155 | static const struct file_operations ftrace_event_id_fops = {

Hide this in the same #ifdef as the reference to it.

<title>ring-buffer: Only update pages_touched when a new page is touched</title>

commit ffe3986fece696cf65e0ef99e74c75f848be8e30 upstream.

The "buffer_percent" logic that is used by the ring buffer splice code to
only wake up the tasks when there's no data after the buffer is filled to
the percentage of the "buffer_percent" file is dependent on three
variables that determine the amount of data that is in the ring buffer:

 1) pages_read - incremented whenever a new sub-buffer is consumed
 2) pages_lost - incremented every time a writer overwrites a sub-buffer
 3) pages_touched - incremented when a write goes to a new sub-buffer

The percentage is the calculation of:

  (pages_touched - (pages_lost + pages_read)) / nr_pages

Basically, the amount of data is the total number of sub-bufs that have been
touched, minus the number of sub-bufs lost and sub-bufs consumed. This is
divided by the total count to give the buffer percentage. When the
percentage is greater than the value in the "buffer_percent" file, it
wakes up splice readers waiting for that amount.

It was observed that over time, the amount read from the splice was
constantly decreasing the longer the trace was running. That is, if one
asked for 60%, it would read over 60% when it first starts tracing, but
then it would be woken up at under 60% and would slowly decrease the
amount of data read after being woken up, where the amount becomes much
less than the buffer percent.

This was due to an accounting of the pages_touched incrementation. This
value is incremented whenever a writer transfers to a new sub-buffer. But
the place where it was incremented was incorrect. If a writer overflowed
the current sub-buffer it would go to the next one. If it gets preempted
by an interrupt at that time, and the interrupt performs a trace, it too
will end up going to the next sub-buffer. But only one should increment
the counter. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

Change the cmpxchg() that does the real switch of the tail-page into a
try_cmpxchg(), and on success, perform the increment of pages_touched. This
will only increment the counter once for when the writer moves to a new
sub-buffer, and not when there's a race and is incremented for when a
writer and its preempting writer both move to the same new sub-buffer.

In function ring_buffer_iter_empty(), cpu_buffer-&gt;commit_page is read
while other threads may change it. It may cause the time_stamp that read
in the next line come from a different page. Use READ_ONCE() to avoid
having to reason about compiler optimizations now and in future.

<title>tracing: Use .flush() call to wake up readers</title>

commit e5d7c1916562f0e856eb3d6f569629fcd535fed2 upstream.

The .release() function does not get called until all readers of a file
descriptor are finished.

If a thread is blocked on reading a file descriptor in ring_buffer_wait(),
and another thread closes the file descriptor, it will not wake up the
other thread as ring_buffer_wake_waiters() is called by .release(), and
that will not get called until the .read() is finished.

The issue originally showed up in trace-cmd, but the readers are actually
other processes with their own file descriptors. So calling close() would wake
up the other tasks because they are blocked on another descriptor then the
one that was closed(). But there's other wake ups that solve that issue.

When a thread is blocked on a read, it can still hang even when another
thread closed its descriptor.

This is what the .flush() callback is for. Have the .flush() wake up the
readers.

<title>ring-buffer: Use wait_event_interruptible() in ring_buffer_wait()</title>

[ Upstream commit 7af9ded0c2caac0a95f33df5cb04706b0f502588 ]

Convert ring_buffer_wait() over to wait_event_interruptible(). The default
condition is to execute the wait loop inside __wait_event() just once.

This does not change the ring_buffer_wait() prototype yet, but
restructures the code so that it can take a "cond" and "data" parameter
and will call wait_event_interruptible() with a helper function as the
condition.

The helper function (rb_wait_cond) takes the cond function and data
parameters. It will first check if the buffer hit the watermark defined by
the "full" parameter and then call the passed in condition parameter. If
either are true, it returns true.

If rb_wait_cond() does not return true, it will set the appropriate
"waiters_pending" flag and returns false.
