Subject: bpf: Allow helper bpf_get_[ns_]current_pid_tgid() for all prog types

Currently bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() is allowed in tracing, cgroup
and sk_msg progs while bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid() is only allowed
in tracing progs.

We have an internal use case where for an application running
in a container (with pid namespace), user wants to get
the pid associated with the pid namespace in a cgroup bpf
program. Currently, cgroup bpf progs already allow
bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(). Let us allow bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid()
as well.

With auditing the code, bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() is also used
by sk_msg prog. But there are no side effect to expose these two
helpers to all prog types since they do not reveal any kernel specific
data. The detailed discussion is in [1].

So with this patch, both bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() and bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid()
are put in bpf_base_func_proto(), making them available to all
program types.

Subject: bpf: flatten bpf_probe_register call chain

bpf_probe_register() and __bpf_probe_register() have identical
signatures and bpf_probe_register() just redirect to
__bpf_probe_register(). So get rid of this extra function call step to
simplify following the source code.

It has no difference at runtime due to inlining, of course.

Subject: bpf: pass whole link instead of prog when triggering raw tracepoint

Instead of passing prog as an argument to bpf_trace_runX() helpers, that
are called from tracepoint triggering calls, store BPF link itself
(struct bpf_raw_tp_link for raw tracepoints). This will allow to pass
extra information like BPF cookie into raw tracepoint registration.

Instead of replacing `struct bpf_prog *prog = __data;` with
corresponding `struct bpf_raw_tp_link *link = __data;` assignment in
`__bpf_trace_##call` I just passed `__data` through into underlying
bpf_trace_runX() call. This works well because we implicitly cast `void *`,
and it also avoids naming clashes with arguments coming from
tracepoint's "proto" list. We could have run into the same problem with
"prog", we just happened to not have a tracepoint that has "prog" input
argument. We are less lucky with "link", as there are tracepoints using
"link" argument name already. So instead of trying to avoid naming
conflicts, let's just remove intermediate local variable. It doesn't
hurt readibility, it's either way a bit of a maze of calls and macros,
that requires careful reading.

Wire up BPF cookie for raw tracepoint programs (both BTF and non-BTF
aware variants). This brings them up to part w.r.t. BPF cookie usage
with classic tracepoint and fentry/fexit programs.

Subject: bpf: Avoid get_kernel_nofault() to fetch kprobe entry IP

get_kernel_nofault() (or, rather, underlying copy_from_kernel_nofault())
is not free and it does pop up in performance profiles when
kprobes are heavily utilized with CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT=y config.

Let's avoid using it if we know that fentry_ip - 4 can't cross page
boundary. We do that by masking lowest 12 bits and checking if they are

Another benefit (and actually what caused a closer look at this part of
code) is that now LBR record is (typically) not wasted on
copy_from_kernel_nofault() call and code, which helps tools like
retsnoop that grab LBR records from inside BPF code in kretprobes.

Subject: bitops: make BYTES_TO_BITS() treewide-available

Avoid open-coding that simple expression each time by moving
BYTES_TO_BITS() from the probes code to <linux/bitops.h> to export
it to the rest of the kernel.
Simplify the macro while at it. `BITS_PER_LONG / sizeof(long)` always
equals to %BITS_PER_BYTE, regardless of the target architecture.
Do the same for the tools ecosystem as well (incl. its version of
bitops.h). The previous implementation had its implicit type of long,
while the new one is int, so adjust the format literal accordingly in
the perf code.

Subject: bpf: make bpf_get_branch_snapshot() architecture-agnostic

perf_snapshot_branch_stack is set up in an architecture-agnostic way, so
there is no reason for BPF subsystem to keep track of which
architectures do support LBR or not. E.g., it looks like ARM64 might soon
get support for BRBE ([0]), which (with proper integration) should be
possible to utilize using this BPF helper.

perf_snapshot_branch_stack static call will point to
__static_call_return0() by default, which just returns zero, which will
lead to -ENOENT, as expected. So no need to guard anything here.

Subject: tracing: Select new NEED_TASKS_RCU Kconfig option

Currently, if a Kconfig option depends on TASKS_RCU, it conditionally does
"select TASKS_RCU if PREEMPTION".  This works, but requires any change in
this enablement logic to be replicated across all such "select" clauses.
A new NEED_TASKS_RCU Kconfig option has been created to allow this
enablement logic to be in one place in kernel/rcu/Kconfig.

Therefore, select the new NEED_TASKS_RCU Kconfig option instead of the
old TASKS_RCU option.

Subject: ftrace: Choose RCU Tasks based on TASKS_RCU rather than PREEMPTION

The advent of CONFIG_PREEMPT_AUTO, AKA lazy preemption, will mean that
even kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
might see the occasional preemption, and that this preemption just might
happen within a trampoline.

Therefore, update ftrace_shutdown() to invoke synchronize_rcu_tasks()
based on CONFIG_TASKS_RCU instead of CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

gcc-9 warns about a possibly non-terminated string copy:

kernel/trace/blktrace.c: In function 'do_blk_trace_setup':
kernel/trace/blktrace.c:527:2: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 32 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]

Newer versions are fine here because they see the following explicit
nul-termination. Using strscpy_pad() avoids the warning and
simplifies the code a little. The padding helps  give a clean
buffer to userspace.

If traceprobe_parse_probe_arg_body() failed to allocate 'parg->fmt',

the buffer 'tmp' is not freed in this case and leaks its memory.

Thus jump to the label 'fail' in that error case.

Subject: bpf: Add support for kprobe session attach

Adding support to attach bpf program for entry and return probe
of the same function. This is common use case which at the moment
requires to create two kprobe multi links.

Adding new BPF_TRACE_KPROBE_SESSION attach type that instructs
kernel to attach single link program to both entry and exit probe.

It's possible to control execution of the bpf program on return
probe simply by returning zero or non zero from the entry bpf
program execution to execute or not the bpf program on return
probe respectively.

Subject: bpf: Add support for kprobe session context

Adding struct bpf_session_run_ctx object to hold session related
data, which is atm is_return bool and data pointer coming in
following changes.

Placing bpf_session_run_ctx layer in between bpf_run_ctx and
bpf_kprobe_multi_run_ctx so the session data can be retrieved
regardless of if it's kprobe_multi or uprobe_multi link, which
support is coming in future. This way both kprobe_multi and
uprobe_multi can use same kfuncs to access the session data.

Adding bpf_session_is_return kfunc that returns true if the
bpf program is executed from the exit probe of the kprobe multi
link attached in wrapper mode. It returns false otherwise.

Adding new kprobe hook for kprobe program type.

Subject: bpf: Add support for kprobe session cookie

Adding support for cookie within the session of kprobe multi
entry and return program.

The session cookie is u64 value and can be retrieved be new
kfunc bpf_session_cookie, which returns pointer to the cookie
value. The bpf program can use the pointer to store (on entry)
and load (on return) the value.

The cookie value is implemented via fprobe feature that allows
to share values between entry and return ftrace fprobe callbacks.

Subject: uprobes: encapsulate preparation of uprobe args buffer

Move the logic of fetching temporary per-CPU uprobe buffer and storing
uprobes args into it to a new helper function. Store data size as part
of this buffer, simplifying interfaces a bit, as now we only pass single
uprobe_cpu_buffer reference around, instead of pointer + dsize.

This logic was duplicated across uprobe_dispatcher and uretprobe_dispatcher,
and now will be centralized. All this is also in preparation to make
this uprobe_cpu_buffer handling logic optional in the next patch.

Subject: uprobes: prepare uprobe args buffer lazily
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

uprobe_cpu_buffer and corresponding logic to store uprobe args into it
are used for uprobes/uretprobes that are created through tracefs or
perf events.

BPF is yet another user of uprobe/uretprobe infrastructure, but doesn't
need uprobe_cpu_buffer and associated data. For BPF-only use cases this
buffer handling and preparation is a pure overhead. At the same time,
BPF-only uprobe/uretprobe usage is very common in practice. Also, for
a lot of cases applications are very senstivie to performance overheads,
as they might be tracing a very high frequency functions like
malloc()/free(), so every bit of performance improvement matters.

All that is to say that this uprobe_cpu_buffer preparation is an
unnecessary overhead that each BPF user of uprobes/uretprobe has to pay.
This patch is changing this by making uprobe_cpu_buffer preparation
optional. It will happen only if either tracefs-based or perf event-based
uprobe/uretprobe consumer is registered for given uprobe/uretprobe. For
BPF-only use cases this step will be skipped.

We used uprobe/uretprobe benchmark which is part of BPF selftests (see [0])
to estimate the improvements. We have 3 uprobe and 3 uretprobe
scenarios, which vary an instruction that is replaced by uprobe: nop
(fastest uprobe case), `push rbp` (typical case), and non-simulated
`ret` instruction (slowest case). Benchmark thread is constantly calling
user space function in a tight loop. User space function has attached
BPF uprobe or uretprobe program doing nothing but atomic counter
increments to count number of triggering calls. Benchmark emits
throughput in millions of executions per second.

BEFORE these changes
====================
uprobe-nop     :    2.657 ± 0.024M/s
uprobe-push    :    2.499 ± 0.018M/s
uprobe-ret     :    1.100 ± 0.006M/s
uretprobe-nop  :    1.356 ± 0.004M/s
uretprobe-push :    1.317 ± 0.019M/s
uretprobe-ret  :    0.785 ± 0.007M/s

AFTER these changes
===================
uprobe-nop     :    2.732 ± 0.022M/s (+2.8%)
uprobe-push    :    2.621 ± 0.016M/s (+4.9%)
uprobe-ret     :    1.105 ± 0.007M/s (+0.5%)
uretprobe-nop  :    1.396 ± 0.007M/s (+2.9%)
uretprobe-push :    1.347 ± 0.008M/s (+2.3%)
uretprobe-ret  :    0.800 ± 0.006M/s (+1.9)

So the improvements on this particular machine seems to be between 2% and 5%.

From cdf355cc60e388d992bdd205b8ee70dc4d533461 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: uprobes: add speculative lockless system-wide uprobe filter check
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It's very common with BPF-based uprobe/uretprobe use cases to have
a system-wide (not PID specific) probes used. In this case uprobe's
trace_uprobe_filter->nr_systemwide counter is bumped at registration
time, and actual filtering is short circuited at the time when
uprobe/uretprobe is triggered.

This is a great optimization, and the only issue with it is that to even
get to checking this counter uprobe subsystem is taking
read-side trace_uprobe_filter->rwlock. This is actually noticeable in
profiles and is just another point of contention when uprobe is
triggered on multiple CPUs simultaneously.

This patch moves this nr_systemwide check outside of filter list's
rwlock scope, as rwlock is meant to protect list modification, while
nr_systemwide-based check is speculative and racy already, despite the
lock (as discussed in [0]). trace_uprobe_filter_remove() and
trace_uprobe_filter_add() already check for filter->nr_systewide
explicitly outside of __uprobe_perf_filter, so no modifications are
required there.

Confirming with BPF selftests's based benchmarks.

AFTER
=====
uprobe-nop     :    2.878 ± 0.017M/s (+5.5%, total +8.3%)
uprobe-push    :    2.753 ± 0.013M/s (+5.3%, total +10.2%)
uprobe-ret     :    1.142 ± 0.010M/s (+3.8%, total +3.8%)
uretprobe-nop  :    1.444 ± 0.008M/s (+3.5%, total +6.5%)

uretprobe-ret  :    0.816 ± 0.002M/s (+2.0%, total +3.9%)

In the above, first percentage value is based on top of previous patch
(lazy uprobe buffer optimization), while the "total" percentage is
based on kernel without any of the changes in this patch set.

As can be seen, we get about 4% - 10% speed up, in total, with both lazy
uprobe buffer and speculative filter check optimizations.

Subject: tracing/probes: support '%pd' type for print struct dentry's name

During fault locating, the file name needs to be printed based on the
dentry  address. The offset needs to be calculated each time, which
is troublesome. Similar to printk, kprobe support print type '%pd' for
print dentry's name. For example "name=$arg1:%pd" casts the `$arg1`
as (struct dentry *), dereferences the "d_name.name" field and stores
it to "name" argument as a kernel string.
Here is an example:
[tracing]# echo 'p:testprobe dput name=$arg1:%pd' > kprobe_events
[tracing]# echo 1 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# grep -q "1" events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# echo 0 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# cat trace | grep "enable"
	    bash-14844   [002] ..... 16912.889543: testprobe: (dput+0x4/0x30) name="enable"
            grep-15389   [003] ..... 16922.834182: testprobe: (dput+0x4/0x30) name="enable"
            grep-15389   [003] ..... 16922.836103: testprobe: (dput+0x4/0x30) name="enable"
            bash-14844   [001] ..... 16931.820909: testprobe: (dput+0x4/0x30) name="enable"

Note that this expects the given argument (e.g. $arg1) is an address of struct
dentry. User must ensure it.

Subject: tracing/probes: support '%pD' type for print struct file's name

As like '%pd' type, this patch supports print type '%pD' for print file's
name. For example "name=$arg1:%pD" casts the `$arg1` as (struct file*),
dereferences the "file.f_path.dentry.d_name.name" field and stores it to
"name" argument as a kernel string.
Here is an example:
[tracing]# echo 'p:testprobe vfs_read name=$arg1:%pD' > kprobe_event
[tracing]# echo 1 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# grep -q "1" events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# echo 0 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# grep "vfs_read" trace | grep "enable"
            grep-15108   [003] .....  5228.328609: testprobe: (vfs_read+0x4/0xbb0) name="enable"

Note that this expects the given argument (e.g. $arg1) is an address of struct
file. User must ensure it.

Subject: rethook: Remove warning messages printed for finding return address
 of a frame.

The function rethook_find_ret_addr() prints a warning message and returns 0
when the target task is running and is not the "current" task in order to
prevent the incorrect return address, although it still may return an
incorrect address.

However, the warning message turns into noise when BPF profiling programs
call bpf_get_task_stack() on running tasks in a firm with a large number of
hosts.

The callers should be aware and willing to take the risk of receiving an
incorrect return address from a task that is currently running other than
the "current" one. A warning is not needed here as the callers are intent
on it.

Subject: ftrace: make extra rcu_is_watching() validation check optional

Introduce CONFIG_FTRACE_VALIDATE_RCU_IS_WATCHING config option to
control whether ftrace low-level code performs additional
rcu_is_watching()-based validation logic in an attempt to catch noinstr
violations.

This check is expected to never be true and is mostly useful for
low-level validation of ftrace subsystem invariants. For most users it
should probably be kept disabled to eliminate unnecessary runtime
overhead.

This improves BPF multi-kretprobe (relying on ftrace and rethook
infrastructure) runtime throughput by 2%, according to BPF benchmarks ([0]).

Subject: rethook: honor CONFIG_FTRACE_VALIDATE_RCU_IS_WATCHING in
 rethook_try_get()

Take into account CONFIG_FTRACE_VALIDATE_RCU_IS_WATCHING when validating
that RCU is watching when trying to setup rethooko on a function entry.

One notable exception when we force rcu_is_watching() check is
CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE=y case, in which case kretprobes will use
old-style int3-based workflow instead of relying on ftrace, making RCU
watching check important to validate.

This further (in addition to improvements in the previous patch)
improves BPF multi-kretprobe (which rely on rethook) runtime throughput
by 2.3%, according to BPF benchmarks ([0]).

Subject: eventfs/tracing: Add callback for release of an eventfs_inode
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Synthetic events create and destroy tracefs files when they are created
and removed. The tracing subsystem has its own file descriptor
representing the state of the events attached to the tracefs files.
There's a race between the eventfs files and this file descriptor of the
tracing system where the following can cause an issue:

With two scripts 'A' and 'B' doing:

  Script 'A':
    echo "hello int aaa" > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
    while :
    do
      echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/hello/enable
    done

  Script 'B':
    echo > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events

Script 'A' creates a synthetic event "hello" and then just writes zero
into its enable file.

Script 'B' removes all synthetic events (including the newly created
"hello" event).

What happens is that the opening of the "enable" file has:

 {
	struct trace_event_file *file = inode->i_private;
	int ret;

	ret = tracing_check_open_get_tr(file->tr);
 [..]

But deleting the events frees the "file" descriptor, and a "use after
free" happens with the dereference at "file->tr".

The file descriptor does have a reference counter, but there needs to be a
way to decrement it from the eventfs when the eventfs_inode is removed
that represents this file descriptor.

Add an optional "release" callback to the eventfs_entry array structure,
that gets called when the eventfs file is about to be removed. This allows
for the creating on the eventfs file to increment the tracing file
descriptor ref counter. When the eventfs file is deleted, it can call the
release function that will call the put function for the tracing file
descriptor.

This will protect the tracing file from being freed while a eventfs file
that references it is being opened.

Subject: tracing/user_events: Fix non-spaced field matching

When the ABI was updated to prevent same name w/different args, it
missed an important corner case when fields don't end with a space.
Typically, space is used for fields to help separate them, like
"u8 field1; u8 field2". If no spaces are used, like
"u8 field1;u8 field2", then the parsing works for the first time.
However, the match check fails on a subsequent register, leading to
confusion.

This is because the match check uses argv_split() and assumes that all
fields will be split upon the space. When spaces are used, we get back
{ "u8", "field1;" }, without spaces we get back { "u8", "field1;u8" }.
This causes a mismatch, and the user program gets back -EADDRINUSE.

Add a method to detect this case before calling argv_split(). If found
force a space after the field separator character ';'. This ensures all
cases work properly for matching.

With this fix, the following are all treated as matching:
u8 field1;u8 field2
u8 field1; u8 field2
u8 field1;\tu8 field2
u8 field1;\nu8 field2

Subject: ring-buffer: Introducing ring-buffer mapping functions

In preparation for allowing the user-space to map a ring-buffer, add
a set of mapping functions:

  ring_buffer_{map,unmap}()

And controls on the ring-buffer:

  ring_buffer_map_get_reader()  /* swap reader and head */

Mapping the ring-buffer also involves:

  A unique ID for each subbuf of the ring-buffer, currently they are
  only identified through their in-kernel VA.

  A meta-page, where are stored ring-buffer statistics and a
  description for the current reader

The linear mapping exposes the meta-page, and each subbuf of the
ring-buffer, ordered following their unique ID, assigned during the
first mapping.

Once mapped, no subbuf can get in or out of the ring-buffer: the buffer
size will remain unmodified and the splice enabling functions will in
reality simply memcpy the data instead of swapping subbufs.

Subject: tracing: Allow user-space mapping of the ring-buffer

Currently, user-space extracts data from the ring-buffer via splice,
which is handy for storage or network sharing. However, due to splice
limitations, it is imposible to do real-time analysis without a copy.

A solution for that problem is to let the user-space map the ring-buffer
directly.

The mapping is exposed via the per-CPU file trace_pipe_raw. The first
element of the mapping is the meta-page. It is followed by each
subbuffer constituting the ring-buffer, ordered by their unique page ID:

  * Meta-page -- include/uapi/linux/trace_mmap.h for a description
  * Subbuf ID 0
  * Subbuf ID 1
     ...

It is therefore easy to translate a subbuf ID into an offset in the
mapping:

  reader_id = meta->reader->id;
  reader_offset = meta->meta_page_size + reader_id * meta->subbuf_size;

When new data is available, the mapper must call a newly introduced ioctl:
TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER. This will update the Meta-page reader ID to
point to the next reader containing unread data.

Mapping will prevent snapshot and buffer size modifications.

Subject: ftrace: Replaces simple_strtoul in ftrace

The function simple_strtoul performs no error checking in scenarios
where the input value overflows the intended output variable.
This results in this function successfully returning, even when the
output does not match the input string (aka the function returns
successfully even when the result is wrong).

Or as it was mentioned [1], "...simple_strtol(), simple_strtoll(),
simple_strtoul(), and simple_strtoull() functions explicitly ignore
overflows, which may lead to unexpected results in callers."
Hence, the use of those functions is discouraged.

This patch replaces all uses of the simple_strtoul with the safer
alternatives kstrtoul and kstruint.

Callers affected:
- add_rec_by_index
- set_graph_max_depth_function

Side effects of this patch:
- Since `fgraph_max_depth` is an `unsigned int`, this patch uses
  kstrtouint instead of kstrtoul to avoid any compiler warnings
  that could originate from calling the latter.
- This patch ensures that the callers of kstrtou* return accordingly
  when kstrtoul and kstruint fail for some reason.
  In this case, both callers this patch is addressing return 0 on error.

Subject: ftrace: Use asynchronous grace period for register_ftrace_direct()

When running heavy test workloads with KASAN enabled, RCU Tasks grace
periods can extend for many tens of seconds, significantly slowing
trace registration.  Therefore, make the registration-side RCU Tasks
grace period be asynchronous via call_rcu_tasks().

Subject: ring-buffer: Have mmapped ring buffer keep track of missed events

While testing libtracefs on the mmapped ring buffer, the test that checks
if missed events are accounted for failed when using the mapped buffer.
This is because the mapped page does not update the missed events that
were dropped because the writer filled up the ring buffer before the
reader could catch it.

Add the missed events to the reader page/sub-buffer when the IOCTL is done
and a new reader page is acquired.

Note that all accesses to the reader_page via rb_page_commit() had to be
switched to rb_page_size(), and rb_page_size() which was just a copy of
rb_page_commit() but now it masks out the RB_MISSED bits. This is needed
as the mapped reader page is still active in the ring buffer code and
where it reads the commit field of the bpage for the size, it now must
mask it otherwise the missed bits that are now set will corrupt the size
returned.

Subject: tracing: Improve benchmark test performance by using do_div()

Partially revert commit d6cb38e10810 ("tracing: Use div64_u64() instead
of do_div()") and use do_div() again to utilize its faster 64-by-32
division compared to the 64-by-64 division done by div64_u64().

Explicitly cast the divisor bm_cnt to u32 to prevent a Coccinelle
warning reported by do_div.cocci. The warning was removed with commit
d6cb38e10810 ("tracing: Use div64_u64() instead of do_div()").

Using the faster 64-by-32 division and casting bm_cnt to u32 is safe
because we return early from trace_do_benchmark() if bm_cnt > UINT_MAX.
This approach is already used twice in trace_do_benchmark() when
calculating the standard deviation:

	do_div(stddev, (u32)bm_cnt);
	do_div(stddev, (u32)bm_cnt - 1);

Subject: kprobes: remove dependency on CONFIG_MODULES

kprobes depended on CONFIG_MODULES because it has to allocate memory for
code.

Since code allocations are now implemented with execmem, kprobes can be
enabled in non-modular kernels.

Add #ifdef CONFIG_MODULE guards for the code dealing with kprobes inside
modules, make CONFIG_KPROBES select CONFIG_EXECMEM and drop the
dependency of CONFIG_KPROBES on CONFIG_MODULES.

Subject: ftrace: Fix possible use-after-free issue in ftrace_location()

KASAN reports a bug:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_location+0x90/0x120

   do_syscall_64+0x68/0x140
   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x71/0x79

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().

Subject: kprobe/ftrace: bail out if ftrace was killed

If an error happens in ftrace, ftrace_kill() will prevent disarming
kprobes. Eventually, the ftrace_ops associated with the kprobes will be
freed, yet the kprobes will still be active, and when triggered, they
will use the freed memory, likely resulting in a page fault and panic.

This behavior can be reproduced quite easily, by creating a kprobe and
then triggering a ftrace_kill(). For simplicity, we can simulate an
ftrace error with a kernel module like [1]:

[1]: https://github.com/brenns10/kernel_stuff/tree/master/ftrace_killer

  sudo perf probe --add commit_creds
  sudo perf trace -e probe:commit_creds
  # In another terminal
  make
  sudo insmod ftrace_killer.ko  # calls ftrace_kill(), simulating bug
  # Back to perf terminal
  # ctrl-c
  sudo perf probe --del commit_creds

After a short period, a page fault and panic would occur as the kprobe
continues to execute and uses the freed ftrace_ops. While ftrace_kill()
is supposed to be used only in extreme circumstances, it is invoked in
FTRACE_WARN_ON() and so there are many places where an unexpected bug
could be triggered, yet the system may continue operating, possibly
without the administrator noticing. If ftrace_kill() does not panic the
system, then we should do everything we can to continue operating,
rather than leave a ticking time bomb.

Subject: ring-buffer: Correct stale comments related to non-consuming readers

Adjust the following code documentation:

* Kernel-doc comments for ring_buffer_read_prepare() and
  ring_buffer_read_finish() mention that recording to the ring buffer is
  disabled when the read is active. Remove mention of this restriction
  because it was already lifted in commit 1039221cc278 ("ring-buffer: Do
  not disable recording when there is an iterator").

* Function ring_buffer_read_finish() performs a self-check of the
  ring-buffer by locking cpu_buffer->reader_lock and then calling
  rb_check_pages(). The preceding comment explains that the lock is
  needed because rb_check_pages() clears the HEAD flag required by
  readers which might be running in parallel. Remove this explanation
  because commit 8843e06f67b1 ("ring-buffer: Handle race between
  rb_move_tail and rb_check_pages") simplified the function so it no
  longer resets the mentioned flag. Nonetheless, the lock is still
  needed because a reader swapping a page into the ring buffer can make
  the underlying doubly-linked list temporarily inconsistent.

This is a non-functional change.

Subject: ring-buffer: Fix a race between readers and resize checks

The reader code in rb_get_reader_page() swaps a new reader page into the
ring buffer by doing cmpxchg on old->list.prev->next to point it to the
new page. Following that, if the operation is successful,
old->list.next->prev gets updated too. This means the underlying
doubly-linked list is temporarily inconsistent, page->prev->next or
page->next->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->reader_page);
 if (!ret)
 	goto spin;
 for (unsigned i = 0; i < 1U << 26; i++)  /* inserted delay loop */
 	__asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory");
 rb_list_head(reader->list.next)->prev = &cpu_buffer->reader_page->list;

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

 echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/enable
 while true; do
 	echo 16 > /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 	echo 8 > /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 done &
 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->reader_lock.

Subject: tracing/treewide: Remove second parameter of __assign_str()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.

This means that with:

  __string(field, mystring)

Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.

There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:

  git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
      sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a > /tmp/test-file;
      mv /tmp/test-file $a;
  done

I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.

Note, the same updates will need to be done for:

  __assign_str_len()
  __assign_rel_str()
  __assign_rel_str_len()

I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).
