git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free memory when the function exits. - Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did the same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for both algorithms to use the same logic in one place. - Add poll to trace event hist files It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake up when an event is triggered. This will let the application know that the event it is waiting for happened. - Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter. That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently events do not have that feature. Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event, then either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or cache it so that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded. This also works from the kernel command line, where "trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the module is loaded at boot up, its events will be enabled then. * tag 'trace-v6.14-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (26 commits) tracing: Fix output of set_event for some cached module events tracing: Fix allocation of printing set_event file content tracing: Rename update_cache() to update_mod_cache() tracing: Fix #if CONFIG_MODULES to #ifdef CONFIG_MODULES selftests/ftrace: Add test that tests event :mod: commands tracing: Cache ":mod:" events for modules not loaded yet tracing: Add :mod: command to enabled module events selftests/tracing: Add hist poll() support test tracing/hist: Support POLLPRI event for poll on histogram tracing/hist: Add poll(POLLIN) support on hist file tracing: Fix using ret variable in tracing_set_tracer() tracepoint: Reduce duplication of __DO_TRACE_CALL tracing/string: Create and use __free(argv_free) in trace_dynevent.c tracing: Switch trace_stat.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_stack.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_osnoise.c code over to use guard() and __free() tracing: Switch trace_events_synth.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_events_filter.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_events_trigger.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_events_hist.c code over to use guard() ...

2025-01-21tracing: Fix allocation of printing set_event file contentSteven Rostedt
The adding of cached events for modules not loaded yet required a descriptor to separate the iteration of events with the iteration of cached events for a module. But the allocation used the size of the pointer and not the size of the contents to allocate its data and caused a slab-out-of-bounds.

2025-01-16tracing: Cache ":mod:" events for modules not loaded yetSteven Rostedt
When the :mod: command is written into /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event (or that file within an instance), if the module specified after the ":mod:" is not yet loaded, it will store that string internally. When the module is loaded, it will enable the events as if the module was loaded when the string was written into the set_event file. This can also be useful to enable events that are in the init section of the module, as the events are enabled before the init section is executed. This also works on the kernel command line: trace_event=:mod:<module> Will enable the events for <module> when it is loaded.

2025-01-16tracing: Add :mod: command to enabled module eventsSteven Rostedt
Add a :mod: command to enable only events from a given module from the set_events file. echo '*:mod:<module>' > set_events Or echo ':mod:<module>' > set_events Will enable all events for that module. Specific events can also be enabled via: echo '<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events Or echo '<system>:<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events Or echo '*:<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events The ":mod:" keyword is consistent with the function tracing filter to enable functions from a given module.

2025-01-07tracing/hist: Add poll(POLLIN) support on hist fileMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
Add poll syscall support on the `hist` file. The Waiter will be waken up when the histogram is updated with POLLIN. Currently, there is no way to wait for a specific event in userspace. So user needs to peek the `trace` periodicaly, or wait on `trace_pipe`. But it is not a good idea to peek at the `trace` for an event that randomly happens. And `trace_pipe` is not coming back until a page is filled with events. This allows a user to wait for a specific event on the `hist` file. User can set a histogram trigger on the event which they want to monitor and poll() on its `hist` file. Since this poll() returns POLLIN, the next poll() will return soon unless a read() happens on that hist file. NOTE: To read the hist file again, you must set the file offset to 0, but just for monitoring the event, you may not need to read the histogram.

2024-12-31tracing: Have process_string() also allow arraysSteven Rostedt
In order to catch a common bug where a TRACE_EVENT() TP_fast_assign() assigns an address of an allocated string to the ring buffer and then references it in TP_printk(), which can be executed hours later when the string is free, the function test_event_printk() runs on all events as they are registered to make sure there's no unwanted dereferencing. It calls process_string() to handle cases in TP_printk() format that has "%s". It returns whether or not the string is safe. But it can have some false positives. For instance, xe_bo_move() has: TP_printk("move_lacks_source:%s, migrate object %p [size %zu] from %s to %s device_id:%s", __entry->move_lacks_source ? "yes" : "no", __entry->bo, __entry->size, xe_mem_type_to_name[__entry->old_placement], xe_mem_type_to_name[__entry->new_placement], __get_str(device_id)) Where the "%s" references into xe_mem_type_to_name[]. This is an array of pointers that should be safe for the event to access. Instead of flagging this as a bad reference, if a reference points to an array, where the record field is the index, consider it safe.

2024-12-26tracing: Switch trace_events.c code over to use guard()Steven Rostedt
There are several functions in trace_events.c that have "goto out;" or equivalent on error in order to release locks that were taken. This can be error prone or just simply make the code more complex. Switch every location that ends with unlocking a mutex on error over to using the guard(mutex)() infrastructure to let the compiler worry about releasing locks. This makes the code easier to read and understand. Some locations did some simple arithmetic after releasing the lock. As this causes no real overhead for holding a mutex while processing the file position (*ppos += cnt;) let the lock be held over this logic too.

2024-12-26tracing: Simplify event_enable_func() goto out_free logicSteven Rostedt
The event_enable_func() function allocates the data descriptor early in the function just to assign its data->count value via: kstrtoul(number, 0, &data->count); This makes the code more complex as there are several error paths before the data descriptor is actually used. This means there needs to be a goto out_free; to clean it up. Use a local variable "count" to do the update and move the data allocation just before it is used. This removes the "out_free" label as the data can be freed on the failure path of where it is used.

2024-12-17tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk formatSteven Rostedt
The TP_printk() portion of a trace event is executed at the time a event is read from the trace. This can happen seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years possibly later since the event was recorded. If the print format contains a dereference to a string via "%s", and that string was allocated, there's a chance that string could be freed before it is read by the trace file. To protect against such bugs, there are two functions that verify the event. The first one is test_event_printk(), which is called when the event is created. It reads the TP_printk() format as well as its arguments to make sure nothing may be dereferencing a pointer that was not copied into the ring buffer along with the event. If it is, it will trigger a WARN_ON(). For strings that use "%s", it is not so easy. The string may not reside in the ring buffer but may still be valid. Strings that are static and part of the kernel proper which will not be freed for the life of the running system, are safe to dereference. But to know if it is a pointer to a static string or to something on the heap can not be determined until the event is triggered. This brings us to the second function that tests for the bad dereferencing of strings, trace_check_vprintf(). It would walk through the printf format looking for "%s", and when it finds it, it would validate that the pointer is safe to read. If not, it would produces a WARN_ON() as well and write into the ring buffer "[UNSAFE-MEMORY]". The problem with this is how it used va_list to have vsnprintf() handle all the cases that it didn't need to check. Instead of re-implementing vsnprintf(), it would make a copy of the format up to the %s part, and call vsnprintf() with the current va_list ap variable, where the ap would then be ready to point at the string in question. For architectures that passed va_list by reference this was possible. For architectures that passed it by copy it was not. A test_can_verify() function was used to differentiate between the two, and if it wasn't possible, it would disable it. Even for architectures where this was feasible, it was a stretch to rely on such a method that is undocumented, and could cause issues later on with new optimizations of the compiler. Instead, the first function test_event_printk() was updated to look at "%s" as well. If the "%s" argument is a pointer outside the event in the ring buffer, it would find the field type of the event that is the problem and mark the structure with a new flag called "needs_test". The event itself will be marked by TRACE_EVENT_FL_TEST_STR to let it be known that this event has a field that needs to be verified before the event can be printed using the printf format. When the event fields are created from the field type structure, the fields would copy the field type's "needs_test" value. Finally, before being printed, a new function ignore_event() is called which will check if the event has the TEST_STR flag set (if not, it returns false). If the flag is set, it then iterates through the events fields looking for the ones that have the "needs_test" flag set. Then it uses the offset field from the field structure to find the pointer in the ring buffer event. It runs the tests to make sure that pointer is safe to print and if not, it triggers the WARN_ON() and also adds to the trace output that the event in question has an unsafe memory access. The ignore_event() makes the trace_check_vprintf() obsolete so it is removed.

2024-12-17tracing: Add "%s" check in test_event_printk()Steven Rostedt
The test_event_printk() code makes sure that when a trace event is registered, any dereferenced pointers in from the event's TP_printk() are pointing to content in the ring buffer. But currently it does not handle "%s", as there's cases where the string pointer saved in the ring buffer points to a static string in the kernel that will never be freed. As that is a valid case, the pointer needs to be checked at runtime. Currently the runtime check is done via trace_check_vprintf(), but to not have to replicate everything in vsnprintf() it does some logic with the va_list that may not be reliable across architectures. In order to get rid of that logic, more work in the test_event_printk() needs to be done. Some of the strings can be validated at this time when it is obvious the string is valid because the string will be saved in the ring buffer content. Do all the validation of strings in the ring buffer at boot in test_event_printk(), and make sure that the field of the strings that point into the kernel are accessible. This will allow adding checks at runtime that will validate the fields themselves and not rely on paring the TP_printk() format at runtime.

2024-12-17tracing: Add missing helper functions in event pointer dereference checkSteven Rostedt
The process_pointer() helper function looks to see if various trace event macros are used. These macros are for storing data in the event. This makes it safe to dereference as the dereference will then point into the event on the ring buffer where the content of the data stays with the event itself. A few helper functions were missing. Those were: __get_rel_dynamic_array() __get_dynamic_array_len() __get_rel_dynamic_array_len() __get_rel_sockaddr() Also add a helper function find_print_string() to not need to use a middle man variable to test if the string exists.

2024-12-17tracing: Fix test_event_printk() to process entire print argumentSteven Rostedt
The test_event_printk() analyzes print formats of trace events looking for cases where it may dereference a pointer that is not in the ring buffer which can possibly be a bug when the trace event is read from the ring buffer and the content of that pointer no longer exists. The function needs to accurately go from one print format argument to the next. It handles quotes and parenthesis that may be included in an argument. When it finds the start of the next argument, it uses a simple "c = strstr(fmt + i, ',')" to find the end of that argument! In order to include "%s" dereferencing, it needs to process the entire content of the print format argument and not just the content of the first ',' it finds. As there may be content like: ({ const char *saved_ptr = trace_seq_buffer_ptr(p); static const char *access_str[] = { "---", "--x", "w--", "w-x", "-u-", "-ux", "wu-", "wux" }; union kvm_mmu_page_role role; role.word = REC->role; trace_seq_printf(p, "sp gen %u gfn %llx l%u %u-byte q%u%s %s%s" " %snxe %sad root %u %s%c", REC->mmu_valid_gen, REC->gfn, role.level, role.has_4_byte_gpte ? 4 : 8, role.quadrant, role.direct ? " direct" : "", access_str[role.access], role.invalid ? " invalid" : "", role.efer_nx ? "" : "!", role.ad_disabled ? "!" : "", REC->root_count, REC->unsync ? "unsync" : "sync", 0); saved_ptr; }) Which is an example of a full argument of an existing event. As the code already handles finding the next print format argument, process the argument at the end of it and not the start of it. This way it has both the start of the argument as well as the end of it. Add a helper function "process_pointer()" that will do the processing during the loop as well as at the end. It also makes the code cleaner and easier to read.

2024-08-07tracing: Have format file honor EVENT_FILE_FL_FREEDSteven Rostedt
When eventfs was introduced, special care had to be done to coordinate the freeing of the file meta data with the files that are exposed to user space. The file meta data would have a ref count that is set when the file is created and would be decremented and freed after the last user that opened the file closed it. When the file meta data was to be freed, it would set a flag (EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED) to denote that the file is freed, and any new references made (like new opens or reads) would fail as it is marked freed. This allowed other meta data to be freed after this flag was set (under the event_mutex). All the files that were dynamically created in the events directory had a pointer to the file meta data and would call event_release() when the last reference to the user space file was closed. This would be the time that it is safe to free the file meta data. A shortcut was made for the "format" file. It's i_private would point to the "call" entry directly and not point to the file's meta data. This is because all format files are the same for the same "call", so it was thought there was no reason to differentiate them. The other files maintain state (like the "enable", "trigger", etc). But this meant if the file were to disappear, the "format" file would be unaware of it. This caused a race that could be trigger via the user_events test (that would create dynamic events and free them), and running a loop that would read the user_events format files: In one console run: # cd tools/testing/selftests/user_events # while true; do ./ftrace_test; done And in another console run: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ # while true; do cat events/user_events/__test_event/format; done 2>/dev/null With KASAN memory checking, it would trigger a use-after-free bug report (which was a real bug). This was because the format file was not checking the file's meta data flag "EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED", so it would access the event that the file meta data pointed to after the event was freed. After inspection, there are other locations that were found to not check the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag when accessing the trace_event_file. Add a new helper function: event_file_file() that will make sure that the event_mutex is held, and will return NULL if the trace_event_file has the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag set. Have the first reference of the struct file pointer use event_file_file() and check for NULL. Later uses can still use the event_file_data() helper function if the event_mutex is still held and was not released since the event_file_file() call.

2024-05-04eventfs/tracing: Add callback for release of an eventfs_inodeSteven Rostedt (Google)
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.

2023-12-18tracing: Allow creating instances with specified system eventsSteven Rostedt (Google)
A trace instance may only need to enable specific events. As the eventfs directory of an instance currently creates all events which adds overhead, allow internal instances to be created with just the events in systems that they care about. This currently only deals with systems and not individual events, but this should bring down the overhead of creating instances for specific use cases quite bit. The trace_array_get_by_name() now has another parameter "systems". This parameter is a const string pointer of a comma/space separated list of event systems that should be created by the trace_array. (Note if the trace_array already exists, this parameter is ignored). The list of systems is saved and if a module is loaded, its events will not be added unless the system for those events also match the systems string.

Change directory to the tracefs directory 2. Create a kprobe event (doesn't matter what one) 3. Open bash file descriptor 5 on the enable file of the kprobe event 4. Delete the kprobe event (removes the files too) 5. Close the bash file descriptor 5 The above causes a crash!

It maintains state of the event (is it enabled for the given instance?). Opening the "enable" file gets a reference to the event "file" descriptor via the open file descriptor. When the kprobe event is deleted, the file is also deleted from the tracefs system which also frees the event "file" descriptor. But as the tracefs file is still opened by user space, it will not be totally removed until the final dput() is called on it. But this is not true with the event "file" descriptor that is already freed. If the user does a write to or simply closes the file descriptor it will reference the event "file" descriptor that was just freed, causing a use-after-free bug. To solve this, add a ref count to the event "file" descriptor as well as a new flag called "FREED". The "file" will not be freed until the last reference is released. But the FREE flag will be set when the event is removed to prevent any more modifications to that event from happening, even if there's still a reference to the event "file" descriptor.

2023-10-05eventfs: Use eventfs_remove_events_dir()Steven Rostedt (Google)
The update to removing the eventfs_file changed the way the events top level directory was handled. Instead of returning a dentry, it now returns the eventfs_inode. In this changed, the removing of the events top level directory is not much different than removing any of the other directories. Because of this, the removal just called eventfs_remove_dir() instead of eventfs_remove_events_dir(). Although eventfs_remove_dir() does the clean up, it misses out on the dget() of the ei->dentry done in eventfs_create_events_dir(). It makes more sense to match eventfs_create_events_dir() with a specific function eventfs_remove_events_dir() and this specific function can then perform the dput() to the dentry that had the dget() when it was created.

2023-10-04eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inodeSteven Rostedt (Google)
Instead of having a descriptor for every file represented in the eventfs directory, only have the directory itself represented. Change the API to send in a list of entries that represent all the files in the directory (but not other directories). The entry list contains a name and a callback function that will be used to create the files when they are accessed. struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_events_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent, const struct eventfs_entry *entries, int size, void *data); is used for the top level eventfs directory, and returns an eventfs_inode that will be used by: struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct eventfs_inode *parent, const struct eventfs_entry *entries, int size, void *data); where both of the above take an array of struct eventfs_entry entries for every file that is in the directory. The entries are defined by: typedef int (*eventfs_callback)(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data, const struct file_operations **fops); struct eventfs_entry { const char *name; eventfs_callback callback; }; Where the name is the name of the file and the callback gets called when the file is being created. The callback passes in the name (in case the same callback is used for multiple files), a pointer to the mode, data and fops. The data will be pointing to the data that was passed in eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir() but may be overridden to point to something else, as it will be used to point to the inode->i_private that is created. The information passed back from the callback is used to create the dentry/inode. If the callback fills the data and the file should be created, it must return a positive number. On zero or negative, the file is ignored. This logic may also be used as a prototype to convert entire pseudo file systems into just-in-time allocation. The "show_events_dentry" file has been updated to show the directories, and any files they have.

2023-10-03tracing: Expand all ring buffers individuallyZheng Yejian
The ring buffer of global_trace is set to the minimum size in order to save memory on boot up and then it will be expand when some trace feature enabled. However currently operations under an instance can also cause global_trace ring buffer being expanded, and the expanded memory would be wasted if global_trace then not being used. See following case, we enable 'sched_switch' event in instance 'A', then ring buffer of global_trace is unexpectedly expanded to be 1410KB, also the '(expanded: 1408)' from 'buffer_size_kb' of instance is confusing. # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # mkdir instances/A # cat buffer_size_kb 7 (expanded: 1408) # cat instances/A/buffer_size_kb 1410 (expanded: 1408) # echo sched:sched_switch > instances/A/set_event # cat buffer_size_kb 1410 # cat instances/A/buffer_size_kb 1410 To fix it, we can: - Make 'ring_buffer_expanded' as a member of 'struct trace_array'; - Make 'ring_buffer_expanded' of instance is defaultly true, global_trace is defaultly false; - In order not to expose 'global_trace' outside of file 'kernel/trace/trace.c', introduce trace_set_ring_buffer_expanded() to set 'ring_buffer_expanded' as 'true'; - Pass the expected trace_array to tracing_update_buffers().

2023-09-30tracing: relax trace_event_eval_update() execution with cond_resched()Clément Léger
When kernel is compiled without preemption, the eval_map_work_func() (which calls trace_event_eval_update()) will not be preempted up to its complete execution. This can actually cause a problem since if another CPU call stop_machine(), the call will have to wait for the eval_map_work_func() function to finish executing in the workqueue before being able to be scheduled. This problem was observe on a SMP system at boot time, when the CPU calling the initcalls executed clocksource_done_booting() which in the end calls stop_machine(). We observed a 1 second delay because one CPU was executing eval_map_work_func() and was not preempted by the stop_machine() task. Adding a call to cond_resched() in trace_event_eval_update() allows other tasks to be executed and thus continue working asynchronously like before without blocking any pending task at boot time.

2023-07-31eventfs: Move tracing/events to eventfsAjay Kaher
Up until now, /sys/kernel/tracing/events was no different than any other part of tracefs. The files and directories within the events directory was created when the tracefs was mounted, and also created for the instances in /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/<instance>/events. Most of these files and directories will never be referenced. Since there are thousands of these files and directories they spend their time wasting precious memory resources. Move the "events" directory to the new eventfs. The eventfs will take the meta data of the events that they represent and store that. When the files in the events directory are referenced, the dentry and inodes to represent them are then created. When the files are no longer referenced, they are freed. This saves the precious memory resources that were wasted on these seldom referenced dentries and inodes. Running the following: ~# cat /proc/meminfo /proc/slabinfo > before.out ~# mkdir /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/foo ~# cat /proc/meminfo /proc/slabinfo > after.out to test the changes produces the following deltas: Before this change: Before after deltas for meminfo: MemFree: -32260 MemAvailable: -21496 KReclaimable: 21528 Slab: 22440 SReclaimable: 21528 SUnreclaim: 912 VmallocUsed: 16 Before after deltas for slabinfo: <slab>: <objects> [ * <size> = <total>] tracefs_inode_cache: 14472 [* 1184 = 17134848] buffer_head: 24 [* 168 = 4032] hmem_inode_cache: 28 [* 1480 = 41440] dentry: 14450 [* 312 = 4508400] lsm_inode_cache: 14453 [* 32 = 462496] vma_lock: 11 [* 152 = 1672] vm_area_struct: 2 [* 184 = 368] trace_event_file: 1748 [* 88 = 153824] kmalloc-256: 1072 [* 256 = 274432] kmalloc-64: 2842 [* 64 = 181888] Total slab additions in size: 22,763,400 bytes With this change: Before after deltas for meminfo: MemFree: -12600 MemAvailable: -12580 Cached: 24 Active: 12 Inactive: 68 Inactive(anon): 48 Active(file): 12 Inactive(file): 20 Dirty: -4 AnonPages: 68 KReclaimable: 12 Slab: 1856 SReclaimable: 12 SUnreclaim: 1844 KernelStack: 16 PageTables: 36 VmallocUsed: 16 Before after deltas for slabinfo: <slab>: <objects> [ * <size> = <total>] tracefs_inode_cache: 108 [* 1184 = 127872] buffer_head: 24 [* 168 = 4032] hmem_inode_cache: 18 [* 1480 = 26640] dentry: 127 [* 312 = 39624] lsm_inode_cache: 152 [* 32 = 4864] vma_lock: 67 [* 152 = 10184] vm_area_struct: -12 [* 184 = -2208] trace_event_file: 1764 [* 96 = 169344] kmalloc-96: 14322 [* 96 = 1374912] kmalloc-64: 2814 [* 64 = 180096] kmalloc-32: 1103 [* 32 = 35296] kmalloc-16: 2308 [* 16 = 36928] kmalloc-8: 12800 [* 8 = 102400] Total slab additions in size: 2,109,984 bytes Which is a savings of 20,653,416 bytes (20 MB) per tracing instance.

2023-07-30tracing: Require all trace events to have a TRACE_SYSTEMSteven Rostedt (Google)
The creation of the trace event directory requires that a TRACE_SYSTEM is defined that the trace event directory is added within the system it was defined in. The code handled the case where a TRACE_SYSTEM was not added, and would then add the event at the events directory. But nothing should be doing this. This code also prevents the implementation of creating dynamic dentrys for the eventfs system. As this path has never been hit on correct code, remove it. If it does get hit, issues a WARN_ON_ONCE() and return ENODEV.

Reproduction script show as below, for analysis, see the comments: ``` #!/bin/bash cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ # 1. Register a 'disable_event' command, then: # 1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was set; # 2) trace_buffered_event_enable() was called first time; echo 'cmdline_proc_show:disable_event:initcall:initcall_finish' > \ set_ftrace_filter # 2. Enable the event registered, then: # 1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was cleared; # 2) trace_buffered_event_disable() was called first time; echo 1 > events/initcall/initcall_finish/enable # 3. Try to call into cmdline_proc_show(), then SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was # set again!!! cat /proc/cmdline # 4.

The compiler option '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' has been enabled globally, and has been in -next for the entire devel cycle. This changes compiler diagnostics (though mainly just -Warray-bounds which is disabled) and potential UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY _warning_ coverage. In other words, there are no new restrictions, just potentially new warnings. Any new FORTIFY warnings we've seen have been fixed (usually in their respective subsystem trees). For more details, see commit df8fc4e934c12b. The under-development compiler attribute __counted_by has been added so that we can start annotating flexible array members with their associated structure member that tracks the count of flexible array elements at run-time. It is possible (likely?) that the exact syntax of the attribute will change before it is finalized, but GCC and Clang are working together to sort it out. Any changes can be made to the macro while we continue to add annotations. As an example of that last case, I have a treewide commit waiting with such annotations found via Coccinelle: https://git.kernel.org/linus/adc5b3cb48a049563dc673f348eab7b6beba8a9b Also see commit dd06e72e68bcb4 for more details.

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1]. In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy(). No return values were used, so direct replacement with strlcpy is safe.

2023-05-23tracing: Rename stacktrace field to common_stacktraceSteven Rostedt (Google)
The histogram and synthetic events can use a pseudo event called "stacktrace" that will create a stacktrace at the time of the event and use it just like it was a normal field. We have other pseudo events such as "common_cpu" and "common_timestamp". To stay consistent with that, convert "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". As this was used in older kernels, to keep backward compatibility, this will act just like "common_cpu" did with "cpu". That is, "cpu" will be the same as "common_cpu" unless the event has a "cpu" field. In which case, the event's field is used. The same is true with "stacktrace". Also update the documentation to reflect this change.

Then Mathieu pointed out that this behavioral change was caused by the use of __stringify(_len), which happens to work on macros, but not on enum labels. And he also gave the suggestion on how to fix it: :One possible solution to make this more robust would be to extend :struct trace_event_fields with one more field that indicates the length :of an array as an actual integer, without storing it in its stringified :form in the type, and do the formatting in f_show where it belongs.

2023-01-25tracing: Add a way to filter function addresses to function namesSteven Rostedt (Google)
There's been several times where an event records a function address in its field and I needed to filter on that address for a specific function name. It required looking up the function in kallsyms, finding its size, and doing a compare of "field >= function_start && field < function_end". But this would change from boot to boot and is unreliable in scripts. Also, it is useful to have this at boot up, where the addresses will not be known. For example, on the boot command line: trace_trigger="initcall_finish.traceoff if func.function == acpi_init" To implement this, add a ".function" prefix, that will check that the field is of size long, and the only operations allowed (so far) are "==" and "!=".

2022-12-10tracing: remove unnecessary trace_trigger ifdefRoss Zwisler
The trace_trigger command line option introduced by commit a01fdc897fa5 ("tracing: Add trace_trigger kernel command line option") doesn't need to depend on the CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS kernel config option. This code doesn't depend on the histogram code, and the run-time selection of triggers is usable without CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS.

2022-11-23tracing: Add trace_trigger kernel command line optionSteven Rostedt (Google)
Allow triggers to be enabled at kernel boot up. For example: trace_trigger="sched_switch.stacktrace if prev_state == 2" The above will enable the stacktrace trigger on top of the sched_switch event and only trigger if its prev_state is 2 (TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE). Then at boot up, a stacktrace will trigger and be recorded in the tracing ring buffer every time the sched_switch happens where the previous state is TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. Another useful trigger would be "traceoff" which can stop tracing on an event if a field of the event matches a certain value defined by the filter ("if" statement).

2022-11-23tracing: Free buffers when a used dynamic event is removedSteven Rostedt (Google)
After 65536 dynamic events have been added and removed, the "type" field of the event then uses the first type number that is available (not currently used by other events). A type number is the identifier of the binary blobs in the tracing ring buffer (known as events) to map them to logic that can parse the binary blob. The issue is that if a dynamic event (like a kprobe event) is traced and is in the ring buffer, and then that event is removed (because it is dynamic, which means it can be created and destroyed), if another dynamic event is created that has the same number that new event's logic on parsing the binary blob will be used. To show how this can be an issue, the following can crash the kernel: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # for i in `seq 65536`; do echo 'p:kprobes/foo do_sys_openat2 $arg1:u32' > kprobe_events # done For every iteration of the above, the writing to the kprobe_events will remove the old event and create a new one (with the same format) and increase the type number to the next available on until the type number reaches over 65535 which is the max number for the 16 bit type. After it reaches that number, the logic to allocate a new number simply looks for the next available number. When an dynamic event is removed, that number is then available to be reused by the next dynamic event created. That is, once the above reaches the max number, the number assigned to the event in that loop will remain the same. Now that means deleting one dynamic event and created another will reuse the previous events type number. This is where bad things can happen. After the above loop finishes, the kprobes/foo event which reads the do_sys_openat2 function call's first parameter as an integer. # echo 1 > kprobes/foo/enable # cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null # cat trace cat-2211 [005] .... 2007.849603: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196 cat-2211 [005] .... 2007.849620: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196 cat-2211 [005] .... 2007.849838: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196 cat-2211 [005] .... 2007.849880: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196 # echo 0 > kprobes/foo/enable Now if we delete the kprobe and create a new one that reads a string: # echo 'p:kprobes/foo do_sys_openat2 +0($arg2):string' > kprobe_events And now we can the trace: # cat trace sendmail-1942 [002] ..... 530.136320: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x240) arg1= cat-2046 [004] ..... 530.930817: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x240) arg1="������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������" cat-2046 [004] ..... 530.930961: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x240) arg1="������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������" cat-2046 [004] ..... 530.934278: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x240) arg1="������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������" cat-2046 [004] ..... 530.934563: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x240) arg1="������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������" bash-1515 [007] ..... 534.299093: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x240) arg1="kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk���������@��4Z����;Y�����U And dmesg has: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in string+0xd4/0x1c0 Read of size 1 at addr ffff88805fdbbfa0 by task cat/2049 CPU: 0 PID: 2049 Comm: cat Not tainted 6.1.0-rc6-test+ #641 Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF/339A, BIOS K01 v03.03 07/14/2016 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x5b/0x77 print_report+0x17f/0x47b kasan_report+0xad/0x130 string+0xd4/0x1c0 vsnprintf+0x500/0x840 seq_buf_vprintf+0x62/0xc0 trace_seq_printf+0x10e/0x1e0 print_type_string+0x90/0xa0 print_kprobe_event+0x16b/0x290 print_trace_line+0x451/0x8e0 s_show+0x72/0x1f0 seq_read_iter+0x58e/0x750 seq_read+0x115/0x160 vfs_read+0x11d/0x460 ksys_read+0xa9/0x130 do_syscall_64+0x3a/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd RIP: 0033:0x7fc2e972ade2 Code: c0 e9 b2 fe ff ff 50 48 8d 3d b2 3f 0a 00 e8 05 f0 01 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 f3 0f 1e fa 64 8b 04 25 18 00 00 00 85 c0 75 10 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 56 c3 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 83 ec 28 48 89 54 24 RSP: 002b:00007ffc64e687c8 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000000 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000020000 RCX: 00007fc2e972ade2 RDX: 0000000000020000 RSI: 00007fc2e980d000 RDI: 0000000000000003 RBP: 00007fc2e980d000 R08: 00007fc2e980c010 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000022 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000020f00 R13: 0000000000000003 R14: 0000000000020000 R15: 0000000000020000 </TASK> The buggy address belongs to the physical page: page:ffffea00017f6ec0 refcount:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x5fdbb flags: 0xfffffc0000000(node=0|zone=1|lastcpupid=0x1fffff) raw: 000fffffc0000000 0000000000000000 ffffea00017f6ec8 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected Memory state around the buggy address: ffff88805fdbbe80: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ffff88805fdbbf00: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff >ffff88805fdbbf80: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ^ ffff88805fdbc000: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ffff88805fdbc080: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ================================================================== This was found when Zheng Yejian sent a patch to convert the event type number assignment to use IDA, which gives the next available number, and this bug showed up in the fuzz testing by Yujie Liu and the kernel test robot. But after further analysis, I found that this behavior is the same as when the event type numbers go past the 16bit max (and the above shows that). As modules have a similar issue, but is dealt with by setting a "WAS_ENABLED" flag when a module event is enabled, and when the module is freed, if any of its events were enabled, the ring buffer that holds that event is also cleared, to prevent reading stale events. The same can be done for dynamic events. If any dynamic event that is being removed was enabled, then make sure the buffers they were enabled in are now cleared.

2022-11-23tracing: Add tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() functionSteven Rostedt (Google)
Currently the tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() requires the trace_types_lock held. But only one caller of this function actually has that lock held before calling it, and the other just takes the lock so that it can call it. More users of this function is needed where the lock is not held. Add a tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() function for the one use case that calls it without being held, and also add a lockdep_assert to make sure it is held when called. Then have tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() take the lock internally, such that callers do not need to worry about taking it.
