We can reproduce the warning by following the steps below:
1. echo 8 &gt;&gt; set_event_notrace_pid. Let tr-&gt;filtered_pids owns one pid
   and register sched_switch tracepoint.
2. echo ' ' &gt;&gt; set_event_pid, and perform fault injection during chunk
   allocation of trace_pid_list_alloc. Let pid_list with no pid and
assign to tr-&gt;filtered_pids.
3. echo ' ' &gt;&gt; set_event_pid. Let pid_list is NULL and assign to
   tr-&gt;filtered_pids.
4. echo 9 &gt;&gt; set_event_pid, will trigger the double register
   sched_switch tracepoint warning.

The reason is that syzkaller injects a fault into the chunk allocation
in trace_pid_list_alloc, causing a failure in trace_pid_list_set, which
may trigger double register of the same tracepoint. This only occurs
when the system is about to crash, but to suppress this warning, let's
add failure handling logic to trace_pid_list_set.

[ Upstream commit 3d62ab32df065e4a7797204a918f6489ddb8a237 ]

Both tracing_mark_write and tracing_mark_raw_write call
__copy_from_user_inatomic during preempt_disable. But in some case,
__copy_from_user_inatomic may trigger page fault, and will call schedule()
subtly. And if a task is migrated to other cpu, the following warning will
be trigger:
        if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer,
                       !local_read(&amp;cpu_buffer-&gt;committing)))

An example can illustrate this issue:

process flow						CPU
---------------------------------------------------------------------

tracing_mark_raw_write():				cpu:0
   ...
   ring_buffer_lock_reserve():				cpu:0
      ...
      cpu = raw_smp_processor_id()			cpu:0
      cpu_buffer = buffer-&gt;buffers[cpu]			cpu:0
      ...
   ...
   __copy_from_user_inatomic():				cpu:0
      ...
      # page fault
      do_mem_abort():					cpu:0
         ...
         # Call schedule
         schedule()					cpu:0
	 ...
   # the task schedule to cpu1
   __buffer_unlock_commit():				cpu:1
      ...
      ring_buffer_unlock_commit():			cpu:1
	 ...
	 cpu = raw_smp_processor_id()			cpu:1
	 cpu_buffer = buffer-&gt;buffers[cpu]		cpu:1

As shown above, the process will acquire cpuid twice and the return values
are not the same.

To fix this problem using copy_from_user_nofault instead of
__copy_from_user_inatomic, as the former performs 'access_ok' before
copying.

<title>tracing: Do not add length to print format in synthetic events</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bfb059417fa31a707b1179dcf5b25aa98a342538</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit e1a453a57bc76be678bd746f84e3d73f378a9511 ]

The following causes a vsnprintf fault:

  # echo 's:wake_lat char[] wakee; u64 delta;' &gt;&gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events
  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts=common_timestamp.usecs if !(common_flags &amp; 0x18)' &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:delta=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(wake_lat,next_comm,$delta)' &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger

Because the synthetic event's "wakee" field is created as a dynamic string
(even though the string copied is not). The print format to print the
dynamic string changed from "%*s" to "%s" because another location
(__set_synth_event_print_fmt()) exported this to user space, and user
space did not need that. But it is still used in print_synth_event(), and
the output looks like:

          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [001] d..5.   193.428167: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)sshd-sessiondelta=155
    sshd-session-879     [001] d..5.   193.811080: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)kworker/u34:5delta=58
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [002] d..5.   193.811198: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)bashdelta=91
            bash-880     [002] d..5.   193.811371: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)kworker/u35:2delta=21
          &lt;idle&gt;-0       [001] d..5.   193.811516: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)sshd-sessiondelta=129
    sshd-session-879     [001] d..5.   193.967576: wake_lat: wakee=(efault)kworker/u34:5delta=50

The length isn't needed as the string is always nul terminated. Just print
the string and not add the length (which was hard coded to the max string
length anyway).

<title>ftrace: Fix potential warning in trace_printk_seq during ftrace_dump</title>

[ Upstream commit 4013aef2ced9b756a410f50d12df9ebe6a883e4a ]

When calling ftrace_dump_one() concurrently with reading trace_pipe,
a WARN_ON_ONCE() in trace_printk_seq() can be triggered due to a race
condition.

The issue occurs because:

CPU0 (ftrace_dump)                              CPU1 (reader)
echo z &gt; /proc/sysrq-trigger

!trace_empty(&amp;iter)
trace_iterator_reset(&amp;iter) &lt;- len = size = 0
                                                cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe
trace_find_next_entry_inc(&amp;iter)
  __find_next_entry
    ring_buffer_empty_cpu &lt;- all empty
  return NULL

trace_printk_seq(&amp;iter.seq)
  WARN_ON_ONCE(s-&gt;seq.len &gt;= s-&gt;seq.size)

In the context between trace_empty() and trace_find_next_entry_inc()
during ftrace_dump, the ring buffer data was consumed by other readers.
This caused trace_find_next_entry_inc to return NULL, failing to populate
`iter.seq`. At this point, due to the prior trace_iterator_reset, both
`iter.seq.len` and `iter.seq.size` were set to 0. Since they are equal,
the WARN_ON_ONCE condition is triggered.

Move the trace_printk_seq() into the if block that checks to make sure the
return value of trace_find_next_entry_inc() is non-NULL in
ftrace_dump_one(), ensuring the 'iter.seq' is properly populated before
subsequent operations.

[ Upstream commit 6a909ea83f226803ea0e718f6e88613df9234d58 ]

When the length of the string written to set_ftrace_filter exceeds
FTRACE_BUFF_MAX, the following KASAN alarm will be triggered:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in strsep+0x18c/0x1b0
Read of size 1 at addr ffff0000d00bd5ba by task ash/165

 el0_svc+0xec/0xf0
 el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa0/0xe8
 el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0

The reason is that trace_get_user will fail when processing a string
longer than FTRACE_BUFF_MAX, but not set the end of parser-&gt;buffer to 0.
Then an OOB access will be triggered in ftrace_regex_release-&gt;
ftrace_process_regex-&gt;strsep-&gt;strpbrk. We can solve this problem by
limiting access to parser-&gt;buffer when trace_get_user failed.

[ Upstream commit c89504a703fb779052213add0e8ed642f4a4f1c8 ]

Several places in the trace.c file there's a goto out where the out is
simply a return. There's no reason to jump to the out label if it's not
doing any more logic but simply returning from the function.

Replace the goto outs with a return and remove the out labels.

commit bfb336cf97df7b37b2b2edec0f69773e06d11955 upstream.

Currently the reader of set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace just adds
the pointer to the global tracer hash to its iterator. Unlike the writer
that allocates a copy of the hash, the reader keeps the pointer to the
filter hashes. This is problematic because this pointer is static across
function calls that release the locks that can update the global tracer
hashes. This can cause UAF and similar bugs.

Allocate and copy the hash for reading the filter files like it is done
for the writers. This not only fixes UAF bugs, but also makes the code a
bit simpler as it doesn't have to differentiate when to free the
iterator's hash between writers and readers.

[ Upstream commit adc353c0bfb243ebfd29b6222fa3bf149169a6de ]

A CPU mask on the stack is broken for large values of CONFIG_NR_CPUS:

kernel/trace/preemptirq_delay_test.c: In function ‘preemptirq_delay_run’:
kernel/trace/preemptirq_delay_test.c:143:1: error: the frame size of 8512 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

Fall back to dynamic allocation here.

commit b5e8acc14dcb314a9b61ff19dcd9fdd0d88f70df upstream.

When a module is loaded, it adds trace events defined by the module. It
may also need to modify the modules trace printk formats to replace enum
names with their values.

If two modules are loaded at the same time, the adding of the event to the
ftrace_events list can corrupt the walking of the list in the code that is
modifying the printk format strings and crash the kernel.

The addition of the event should take the trace_event_sem for write while
it adds the new event.

Also add a lockdep_assert_held() on that semaphore in
__trace_add_event_dirs() as it iterates the list.

commit f914b52c379c12288b7623bb814d0508dbe7481d upstream.

The following issue happens with a buggy module:

 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e

The above issue may happen as follows:
(1) Add kprobe tracepoint;
(2) insmod test.ko;
(3)  Module triggers ftrace disabled;
(4) rmmod test.ko;
(5) cat /proc/kallsyms; --&gt; Will trigger UAF as test.ko already removed;
ftrace_mod_get_kallsym()
...
strscpy(module_name, mod_map-&gt;mod-&gt;name, MODULE_NAME_LEN);
...

The problem is when a module triggers an issue with ftrace and
sets ftrace_disable. The ftrace_disable is set when an anomaly is
discovered and to prevent any more damage, ftrace stops all text
modification. The issue that happened was that the ftrace_disable stops
more than just the text modification.

When a module is loaded, its init functions can also be traced. Because
kallsyms deletes the init functions after a module has loaded, ftrace
saves them when the module is loaded and function tracing is enabled. This
allows the output of the function trace to show the init function names
instead of just their raw memory addresses.

When a module is removed, ftrace_release_mod() is called, and if
ftrace_disable is set, it just returns without doing anything more. The
problem here is that it leaves the mod_list still around and if kallsyms
is called, it will call into this code and access the module memory that
has already been freed as it will return:

  strscpy(module_name, mod_map-&gt;mod-&gt;name, MODULE_NAME_LEN);

Where the "mod" no longer exists and triggers a UAF bug.
