The callbacks in enabled_monitors_seq_ops are inconsistent. Some treat the
iterator as struct rv_monitor *, while others treat the iterator as struct
list_head *.
This causes a wrong type cast and crashes the system as reported by Nathan.
Convert everything to use struct list_head * as iterator. This also makes
enabled_monitors consistent with available_monitors.

The previous fix to trace_marker required updating trace_marker_raw
as well. The difference between trace_marker_raw from trace_marker
is that the raw version is for applications to write binary structures
directly into the ring buffer instead of writing ASCII strings.
This is for applications that will read the raw data from the ring
buffer and get the data structures directly. It's a bit quicker than
using the ASCII version.
Unfortunately, it appears that our test suite has several tests that
test writes to the trace_marker file, but lacks any tests to the
trace_marker_raw file (this needs to be remedied). Two issues came
about the update to the trace_marker_raw file that syzbot found:
- Fix tracing_mark_raw_write() to use per CPU buffer
The fix to use the per CPU buffer to copy from user space was needed for
both the trace_maker and trace_maker_raw file.
The fix for reading from user space into per CPU buffers properly fixed
the trace_marker write function, but the trace_marker_raw file wasn't
fixed properly. The user space data was correctly written into the per CPU
buffer, but the code that wrote into the ring buffer still used the user
space pointer and not the per CPU buffer that had the user space data
already written.
- Stop the fortify string warning from writing into trace_marker_raw
After converting the copy_from_user_nofault() into a memcpy(), another
issue appeared. As writes to the trace_marker_raw expects binary data, the
first entry is a 4 byte identifier. The entry structure is defined as:
struct {
struct trace_entry ent;
int id;
char buf[];
};
The size of this structure is reserved on the ring buffer with:
size = sizeof(*entry) + cnt;
Then it is copied from the buffer into the ring buffer with:
memcpy(&entry->id, buf, cnt);
This use to be a copy_from_user_nofault(), but now converting it to
a memcpy() triggers the fortify-string code, and causes a warning.
The allocated space is actually more than what is copied, as the cnt
used also includes the entry->id portion. Allocating sizeof(*entry)
plus cnt is actually allocating 4 bytes more than what is needed.
Change the size function to:
size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id));
And update the memcpy() to unsafe_memcpy().

- Have osnoise tracer use memdup_user_nul()

same as simply using memdup_user_nul().
- Fix wakeup and irq tracers when failing to acquire calltime
When the wakeup and irq tracers use the function graph tracer for
tracing function times, it saves a timestamp into the fgraph shadow

happens, it exits the routine early. These functions also disable
nesting of the operations by incremeting the data "disable" counter.
But if the calltime exits out early, it never increments the counter
back to what it needs to be.
Since there's only a couple of lines of code that does work after
acquiring the calltime, instead of exiting out early, reverse the
if statement to be true if calltime is acquired, and place the code
that is to be done within that if block. The clean up will always
be done after that.
- Fix ring_buffer_map() return value on failure of __rb_map_vma()
If __rb_map_vma() fails in ring_buffer_map(), it does not return
an error. This means the caller will be working against a bad vma
mapping. Have ring_buffer_map() return an error when __rb_map_vma()
fails.
- Fix regression of writing to the trace_marker file
A bug fix was made to change __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
copy_from_user_nofault() in the trace_marker write function.
The trace_marker file is used by applications to write into
it (usually with a file descriptor opened at the start of the
program) to record into the tracing system. It's usually used
in critical sections so the write to trace_marker is highly
optimized.
The reason for copying in an atomic section is that the write
reserves space on the ring buffer and then writes directly into
it. After it writes, it commits the event. The time between
reserve and commit must have preemption disabled.
The trace marker write does not have any locking nor can it
allocate due to the nature of it being a critical path.
Unfortunately, converting __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
copy_from_user_nofault() caused a regression in Android.
Now all the writes from its applications trigger the fault that
is rejected by the _nofault() version that wasn't rejected by
the _inatomic() version. Instead of getting data, it now just
gets a trace buffer filled with:
tracing_mark_write: <faulted>
To fix this, on opening of the trace_marker file, allocate
per CPU buffers that can be used by the write call. Then
when entering the write call, do the following:
preempt_disable();
cpu = smp_processor_id();
buffer = per_cpu_ptr(cpu_buffers, cpu);
do {
cnt = nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu);
migrate_disable();
preempt_enable();
ret = copy_from_user(buffer, ptr, size);
preempt_disable();
migrate_enable();
} while (!ret && cnt != nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu));
if (!ret)
ring_buffer_write(buffer);
preempt_enable();
This works similarly to seqcount. As it must enabled preemption
to do a copy_from_user() into a per CPU buffer, if it gets
preempted, the buffer could be corrupted by another task.
To handle this, read the number of context switches of the current
CPU, disable migration, enable preemption, copy the data from
user space, then immediately disable preemption again.
If the number of context switches is the same, the buffer
is still valid. Otherwise it must be assumed that the buffer may
have been corrupted and it needs to try again.
Now the trace_marker write can get the user data even if it has
to fault it in, and still not grab any locks of its own.

It was reported that using __copy_from_user_inatomic() can actually

logic to check in_atomic() is set, but this is a nop when the kernel is
configured with PREEMPT_NONE. This is due to page faulting and the code

The solution was to change the __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
copy_from_user_nofault(). But then it was reported that this caused a
regression in Android. There's several applications writing into
trace_marker() in Android, but now instead of showing the expected data,
it is showing:
tracing_mark_write: <faulted>
After reverting the conversion to copy_from_user_nofault(), Android was
able to get the data again.
Writes to the trace_marker is a way to efficiently and quickly enter data
into the Linux tracing buffer. It takes no locks and was designed to be as
non-intrusive as possible. This means it cannot allocate memory, and must
use pre-allocated data.
A method that is actively being worked on to have faultable system call
tracepoints read user space data is to allocate per CPU buffers, and use
them in the callback. The method uses a technique similar to seqcount.
That is something like this:
preempt_disable();
cpu = smp_processor_id();
buffer = this_cpu_ptr(&pre_allocated_cpu_buffers, cpu);
do {
cnt = nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu);
migrate_disable();
preempt_enable();
ret = copy_from_user(buffer, ptr, size);
preempt_disable();
migrate_enable();
} while (!ret && cnt != nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu));
if (!ret)
ring_buffer_write(buffer);
preempt_enable();
It's a little more involved than that, but the above is the basic logic.
The idea is to acquire the current CPU buffer, disable migration, and then
enable preemption. At this moment, it can safely use copy_from_user().
After reading the data from user space, it disables preemption again. It
then checks to see if there was any new scheduling on this CPU. If there
was, it must assume that the buffer was corrupted by another task. If
there wasn't, then the buffer is still valid as only tasks in preemptable
context can write to this buffer and only those that are running on the
CPU.
By using this method, where trace_marker open allocates the per CPU
buffers, trace_marker writes can access user space and even fault it in,
without having to allocate or take any locks of its own.

- Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() instead of RCU for syscall tracepoints
Individual system call trace events are pseudo events attached to the
raw_syscall trace events that just trace the entry and exit of all system
calls. When any of these individual system call trace events get enabled,
an element in an array indexed by the system call number is assigned to
the trace file that defines how to trace it. When the trace event
triggers, it reads this array and if the array has an element, it uses that
trace file to know what to write it (the trace file defines the output
format of the corresponding system call).
The issue is that it uses rcu_dereference_ptr() and marks the elements of
the array as using RCU. This is incorrect. There is no RCU synchronization
here. The event file that is pointed to has a completely different way to
make sure its freed properly. The reading of the array during the system
call trace event is only to know if there is a value or not. If not, it
does nothing (it means this system call isn't being traced). If it does,
it uses the information to store the system call data.
The RCU usage here can simply be replaced by READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE()
macros.
- Have the system call trace events use "0x" for hex values
Some system call trace events display hex values but do not have "0x" in
front of it. Seeing "count: 44" can be assumed that it is 44 decimal when
in actuality it is 44 hex (68 decimal). Display "0x44" instead.
- Use vmalloc_array() in tracing_map_sort_entries()
The function tracing_map_sort_entries() used array_size() and vmalloc()
when it could have simply used vmalloc_array().
- Use for_each_online_cpu() in trace_osnoise.c()
Instead of open coding for_each_cpu(cpu, cpu_online_mask), use
for_each_online_cpu().
- Move the buffer field in struct trace_seq to the end
The buffer field in struct trace_seq is architecture dependent in size,
and caused padding for the fields after it. By moving the buffer to the
end of the structure, it compacts the trace_seq structure better.
- Remove redundant zeroing of cmdline_idx field in saved_cmdlines_buffer()
The structure that contains cmdline_idx is zeroed by memset(), no need to
explicitly zero any of its fields after that.
- Use system_percpu_wq instead of system_wq in user_event_mm_remove()
As system_wq is being deprecated, use the new wq.
- Add cond_resched() is ftrace_module_enable()
Some modules have a lot of functions (thousands of them), and the enabling
of those functions can take some time. On non preemtable kernels, it was
triggering a watchdog timeout. Add a cond_resched() to prevent that.
- Add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to make sure PID_MAX_DEFAULT is always a power of 2
There's code that depends on PID_MAX_DEFAULT being a power of 2 or it will
break. If in the future that changes, make sure the build fails to ensure
that the code is fixed that depends on this.
- Grab mutex_lock() before ever exiting s_start()
The s_start() function is a seq_file start routine. As s_stop() is always
called even if s_start() fails, and s_stop() expects the event_mutex to be
held as it will always release it. That mutex must always be taken in
s_start() even if that function fails.

enabling of those functions can take some time. On non preemtable
kernels, it was triggering a watchdog timeout. Add a cond_resched()
to prevent that.
- Add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to make sure PID_MAX_DEFAULT is always a power
of 2
There's code that depends on PID_MAX_DEFAULT being a power of 2 or it
will break. If in the future that changes, make sure the build fails
to ensure that the code is fixed that depends on this.
- Grab mutex_lock() before ever exiting s_start()
The s_start() function is a seq_file start routine. As s_stop() is
always called even if s_start() fails, and s_stop() expects the
event_mutex to be held as it will always release it. That mutex must
always be taken in s_start() even if that function fails.

When s_start() fails to allocate memory for set_event_iter, it returns NULL
before acquiring event_mutex. However, the corresponding s_stop() function
always tries to unlock the mutex, causing a lock imbalance warning:
WARNING: bad unlock balance detected!

syz.0.85611/376514 is trying to release lock (event_mutex) at:
[<ffffffff8dafc7a4>] traverse.part.0.constprop.0+0x2c4/0x650 fs/seq_file.c:131
but there are no more locks to release!
The issue was introduced by commit b355247df1 ("tracing: Cache ':mod:'
events for modules not loaded yet") which added the kzalloc() allocation before
the mutex lock, creating a path where s_start() could return without locking
the mutex while s_stop() would still try to unlock it.
Fix this by unconditionally acquiring the mutex immediately after allocation,
regardless of whether the allocation succeeded.

tracing: fgraph: Protect return handler from recursion loop

function_graph_enter_regs() prevents itself from recursion by
ftrace_test_recursion_trylock(), but __ftrace_return_to_handler(),
which is called at the exit, does not prevent such recursion.
Therefore, while it can prevent recursive calls from
fgraph_ops::entryfunc(), it is not able to prevent recursive calls
to fgraph from fgraph_ops::retfunc(), resulting in a recursive loop.
This can lead an unexpected recursion bug reported by Menglong.
is_endbr() is called in __ftrace_return_to_handler -> fprobe_return
-> kprobe_multi_link_exit_handler -> is_endbr.
To fix this issue, acquire ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() in the
__ftrace_return_to_handler() after unwind the shadow stack to mark
this section must prevent recursive call of fgraph inside user-defined
fgraph_ops::retfunc().
This is essentially a fix to commit 4346ba1604 ("fprobe: Rewrite
fprobe on function-graph tracer"), because before that fgraph was
only used from the function graph tracer. Fprobe allowed user to run
any callbacks from fgraph after that commit.

Currently uprobe (BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE) program can't write to the
context registers data. While this makes sense for kprobe attachments,
for uprobe attachment it might make sense to be able to change user
space registers to alter application execution.
Since uprobe and kprobe programs share the same type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_KPROBE),
we can't deny write access to context during the program load. We need
to check on it during program attachment to see if it's going to be
kprobe or uprobe.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
system_wq is a per-CPU worqueue, yet nothing in its name tells about that
CPU affinity constraint, which is very often not required by users. Make
it clear by adding a system_percpu_wq.
queue_work() / queue_delayed_work() mod_delayed_work() will now use the
new per-cpu wq: whether the user still stick on the old name a warn will
be printed along a wq redirect to the new one.
This patch add the new system_percpu_wq except for mm, fs and net
subsystem, whom are handled in separated patches.
The old wq will be kept for a few release cylces.

sys_write(fd: 4, buf: 0x55c4a1fa9270, count: 44)
Looks like the above write wrote 44 bytes, when in reality it wrote 68
bytes.
Add a "0x" for all values greater or equal to 10 to remove the ambiguity.
For values less than 10, leave off the "0x" as that just adds noise to the
output.
Also change the iterator to check if "i" is nonzero and print the ", "
delimiter at the start, then adding the logic to the trace_seq_printf() at
the end.

The syscall events are pseudo events that hook to the raw syscalls. The
ftrace_syscall_enter/exit() callback is called by the raw_syscall
enter/exit tracepoints respectively whenever any of the syscall events are
enabled.
The trace_array has an array of syscall "files" that correspond to the
system calls based on their __NR_SYSCALL number. The array is read and if
there's a pointer to a trace_event_file then it is considered enabled and
if it is NULL that syscall event is considered disabled.
Currently it uses an rcu_dereference_sched() to get this pointer and a
rcu_assign_ptr() or RCU_INIT_POINTER() to write to it. This is unnecessary
as the file pointer will not go away outside the synchronization of the
tracepoint logic itself. And this code adds no extra RCU synchronization
that uses this.
Replace these functions with a simple READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() which
is all they need. This will also allow this code to not depend on
preemption being disabled as system call tracepoints are now allowed to
fault.

Argument 'p' of enabled_monitors_next() is not a pointer to struct
rv_monitor, it is actually a pointer to the list_head inside struct
rv_monitor. Therefore it is wrong to cast 'p' to struct rv_monitor *.
This wrong type cast has been there since the beginning. But it still
worked because the list_head was the first field in struct rv_monitor_def.
This is no longer true since commit 24cbfe18d5 ("rv: Merge struct
rv_monitor_def into struct rv_monitor") moved the list_head, and this wrong
type cast became a functional problem.
Properly use container_of() instead.

We can reproduce the warning by following the steps below:
1. echo 8 >> set_event_notrace_pid. Let tr->filtered_pids owns one pid
and register sched_switch tracepoint.
2. echo ' ' >> 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->filtered_pids.
3. echo ' ' >> set_event_pid. Let pid_list is NULL and assign to
tr->filtered_pids.
4. echo 9 >> 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.

Commit edede7a6dc ("trace/fgraph: Fix the warning caused by missing
unregister notifier") added a call to unregister the PM notifier if
register_ftrace_graph() failed. It does so unconditionally. However,
the PM notifier is only registered with the first call to
register_ftrace_graph(). If the first registration was successful and
a subsequent registration failed, the notifier is now unregistered even
if ftrace graphs are still registered.
Fix the problem by only unregistering the PM notifier during error handling
if there are no active fgraph registrations.

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(&cpu_buffer->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->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->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.

- Fix register_ftrace_graph() to unregister the pm notifier on error
The register_ftrace_graph() registers a pm notifier but there's an error
path that can exit the function without unregistering it. Since the function
returns an error, it will never be unregistered.
- Allocate and copy ftrace hash for reader of ftrace filter files
When the set_ftrace_filter or set_ftrace_notrace files are open for read,
an iterator is created and sets its hash pointer to the associated hash that
represents filtering or notrace filtering to it. The issue is that the hash
it points to can change while the iteration is happening. All the locking
used to access the tracer's hashes are released which means those hashes can
change or even be freed. Using the hash pointed to by the iterator can cause
UAF bugs or similar.
Have the read of these files allocate and copy the corresponding hashes and
use that as that will keep them the same while the iterator is open. This
also simplifies the code as opening it for write already does an allocate
and copy, and now that the read is doing the same, there's no need to check
which way it was opened on the release of the file, and the iterator hash
can always be freed.
- Fix function graph to copy args into temp storage
The output of the function graph tracer shows both the entry and the exit of
a function. When the exit is right after the entry, it combines the two
events into one with the output of "function();", instead of showing:
function() {
}
In order to do this, the iterator descriptor that reads the events includes
storage that saves the entry event while it peaks at the next event in
the ring buffer. The peek can free the entry event so the iterator must
store the information to use it after the peek.
With the addition of function graph tracer recording the args, where the
args are a dynamic array in the entry event, the temp storage does not save
them. This causes the args to be corrupted or even cause a read of unsafe
memory.
Add space to save the args in the temp storage of the iterator.
- Fix race between ftrace_dump and reading trace_pipe
ftrace_dump() is used when a crash occurs where the ftrace buffer will be
printed to the console. But it can also be triggered by sysrq-z. If a
sysrq-z is triggered while a task is reading trace_pipe it can cause a race
in the ftrace_dump() where it checks if the buffer has content, then it
checks if the next event is available, and then prints the output
(regardless if the next event was available or not). Reading trace_pipe
at the same time can cause it to not be available, and this triggers a
WARN_ON in the print. Move the printing into the check if the next event
exists or not.

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.
