When function trace PID filtering is enabled, the function tracer will
attach a callback to the fork tracepoint as well as the exit tracepoint
that will add the forked child PID to the PID filtering list as well as
remove the PID that is exiting.
Commit a46023d561 ("tracing: Guard __DECLARE_TRACE() use of
__DO_TRACE_CALL() with SRCU-fast") removed the disabling of preemption
when calling tracepoint callbacks.
The callbacks used for the PID filtering accounting depended on preemption
being disabled, and now the trigger a "suspicious RCU usage" warning message.
Make them explicitly disable preemption.

When multiple syscall events are specified in the kernel command line
(e.g., trace_event=syscalls:sys_enter_openat,syscalls:sys_enter_close),
they are often not captured after boot, even though they appear enabled
in the tracing/set_event file.
The issue stems from how syscall events are initialized. Syscall
tracepoints require the global reference count (sys_tracepoint_refcount)
to transition from 0 to 1 to trigger the registration of the syscall
work (TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) for tasks, including the init process (pid 1).
The current implementation of early_enable_events() with disable_first=true
used an interleaved sequence of "Disable A -> Enable A -> Disable B -> Enable B".
If multiple syscalls are enabled, the refcount never drops to zero,
preventing the 0->1 transition that triggers actual registration.
Fix this by splitting early_enable_events() into two distinct phases:
1. Disable all events specified in the buffer.
2. Enable all events specified in the buffer.
This ensures the refcount hits zero before re-enabling, allowing syscall
events to be properly activated during early boot.
The code is also refactored to use a helper function to avoid logic
duplication between the disable and enable phases.

trace_graph_thresh_return() called handle_nosleeptime() and then delegated
to trace_graph_return(), which calls handle_nosleeptime() again. When
sleep-time accounting is disabled this double-adjusts calltime and can
produce bogus durations (including underflow).
Fix this by computing rettime once, applying handle_nosleeptime() only
once, using the adjusted calltime for threshold comparison, and writing
the return event directly via __trace_graph_return() when the threshold is
met.

When tracing_thresh is enabled, function graph tracing uses
trace_graph_thresh_return() as the return handler. Unlike
trace_graph_return(), it did not clear the per-task TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE
flag set by the entry handler for set_graph_notrace addresses. This could
leave the task permanently in "notrace" state and effectively disable
function graph tracing for that task.
Mirror trace_graph_return()'s per-task notrace handling by clearing
TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE and returning early when set.

We're hitting an invariant violation in Cilium that sometimes leads to
BPF programs being rejected and Cilium failing to start [1]. The
following extract from verifier logs shows what's happening:
from 201 to 236: R1=0 R6=ctx() R7=1 R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) R10=fp0
236: R1=0 R6=ctx() R7=1 R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100)) R10=fp0
; if (magic == MARK_MAGIC_HOST || magic == MARK_MAGIC_OVERLAY || magic == MARK_MAGIC_ENCRYPT) @ bpf_host.c:1337
236: (16) if w9 == 0xe00 goto pc+45 ; R9=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3585,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100))
237: (16) if w9 == 0xf00 goto pc+1
verifier bug: REG INVARIANTS VIOLATION (false_reg1): range bounds violation u64=[0xe01, 0xe00] s64=[0xe01, 0xe00] u32=[0xe01, 0xe00] s32=[0xe01, 0xe00] var_off=(0xe00, 0x0)
We reach instruction 236 with two possible values for R9, 0xe00 and
0xf00. This is perfectly reflected in the tnum, but of course the ranges
are less accurate and cover [0xe00; 0xf00]. Taking the fallthrough path
at instruction 236 allows the verifier to reduce the range to
[0xe01; 0xf00]. The tnum is however not updated.
With these ranges, at instruction 237, the verifier is not able to
deduce that R9 is always equal to 0xf00. Hence the fallthrough pass is
explored first, the verifier refines the bounds using the assumption
that R9 != 0xf00, and ends up with an invariant violation.
This pattern of impossible branch + bounds refinement is common to all
invariant violations seen so far. The long-term solution is likely to
rely on the refinement + invariant violation check to detect dead
branches, as started by Eduard. To fix the current issue, we need
something with less refactoring that we can backport.
This patch uses the tnum_step helper introduced in the previous patch to
detect the above situation. In particular, three cases are now detected
in the bounds refinement:
1. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in umin.
u64: ---[xxxxxx]-----
tnum: --xx----------x-
2. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in the maximum value
represented by the tnum, called tmax.
u64: ---[xxxxxx]-----
tnum: xx-----x--------
3. The u64 range and the tnum only overlap in between umin (excluded)
and umax.
u64: ---[xxxxxx]-----
tnum: xx----x-------x-
To detect these three cases, we call tnum_step(tnum, umin), which
returns the smallest member of the tnum greater than umin, called
tnum_next here. We're in case (1) if umin is part of the tnum and
tnum_next is greater than umax. We're in case (2) if umin is not part of
the tnum and tnum_next is equal to tmax. Finally, we're in case (3) if
umin is not part of the tnum, tnum_next is inferior or equal to umax,
and calling tnum_step a second time gives us a value past umax.
This change implements these three cases. With it, the above bytecode
looks as follows:
0: (85) call bpf_get_prandom_u32#7 ; R0=scalar()
1: (47) r0 |= 3584 ; R0=scalar(smin=0x8000000000000e00,umin=umin32=3584,smin32=0x80000e00,var_off=(0xe00; 0xfffffffffffff1ff))
2: (57) r0 &= 3840 ; R0=scalar(smin=umin=smin32=umin32=3584,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=3840,var_off=(0xe00; 0x100))
3: (15) if r0 == 0xe00 goto pc+2 ; R0=3840
4: (15) if r0 == 0xf00 goto pc+1
4: R0=3840
6: (95) exit
In addition to the new selftests, this change was also verified with
Agni [3]. For the record, the raw SMT is available at [4]. The property
it verifies is that: If a concrete value x is contained in all input
abstract values, after __update_reg_bounds, it will continue to be
contained in all output abstract values.

This commit introduces tnum_step(), a function that, when given t, and a
number z returns the smallest member of t larger than z. The number z
must be greater or equal to the smallest member of t and less than the
largest member of t.
The first step is to compute j, a number that keeps all of t's known
bits, and matches all unknown bits to z's bits. Since j is a member of
the t, it is already a candidate for result. However, we want our result
to be (minimally) greater than z.
There are only two possible cases:
(1) Case j <= z. In this case, we want to increase the value of j and
make it > z.
(2) Case j > z. In this case, we want to decrease the value of j while
keeping it > z.
(Case 1) j <= z
t = xx11x0x0
z = 10111101 (189)
j = 10111000 (184)
^
k
(Case 1.1) Let's first consider the case where j < z. We will address j
== z later.
Since z > j, there had to be a bit position that was 1 in z and a 0 in
j, beyond which all positions of higher significance are equal in j and
z. Further, this position could not have been unknown in a, because the
unknown positions of a match z. This position had to be a 1 in z and
known 0 in t.
Let k be position of the most significant 1-to-0 flip. In our example, k
= 3 (starting the count at 1 at the least significant bit). Setting (to
1) the unknown bits of t in positions of significance smaller than
k will not produce a result > z. Hence, we must set/unset the unknown
bits at positions of significance higher than k. Specifically, we look
for the next larger combination of 1s and 0s to place in those
positions, relative to the combination that exists in z. We can achieve
this by concatenating bits at unknown positions of t into an integer,
adding 1, and writing the bits of that result back into the
corresponding bit positions previously extracted from z.
>From our example, considering only positions of significance greater
than k:
t = xx..x
z = 10..1
+ 1
-----
11..0
This is the exact combination 1s and 0s we need at the unknown bits of t
in positions of significance greater than k. Further, our result must
only increase the value minimally above z. Hence, unknown bits in
positions of significance smaller than k should remain 0. We finally
have,
result = 11110000 (240)
(Case 1.2) Now consider the case when j = z, for example
t = 1x1x0xxx
z = 10110100 (180)
j = 10110100 (180)
Matching the unknown bits of the t to the bits of z yielded exactly z.
To produce a number greater than z, we must set/unset the unknown bits
in t, and *all* the unknown bits of t candidates for being set/unset. We
can do this similar to Case 1.1, by adding 1 to the bits extracted from
the masked bit positions of z. Essentially, this case is equivalent to
Case 1.1, with k = 0.
t = 1x1x0xxx
z = .0.1.100
+ 1
---------
.0.1.101
This is the exact combination of bits needed in the unknown positions of
t. After recalling the known positions of t, we get
result = 10110101 (181)
(Case 2) j > z
t = x00010x1
z = 10000010 (130)
j = 10001011 (139)
^
k
Since j > z, there had to be a bit position which was 0 in z, and a 1 in
j, beyond which all positions of higher significance are equal in j and
z. This position had to be a 0 in z and known 1 in t. Let k be the
position of the most significant 0-to-1 flip. In our example, k = 4.
Because of the 0-to-1 flip at position k, a member of t can become
greater than z if the bits in positions greater than k are themselves >=
to z. To make that member *minimally* greater than z, the bits in
positions greater than k must be exactly = z. Hence, we simply match all
of t's unknown bits in positions more significant than k to z's bits. In
positions less significant than k, we set all t's unknown bits to 0
to retain minimality.
In our example, in positions of greater significance than k (=4),
t=x000. These positions are matched with z (1000) to produce 1000. In
positions of lower significance than k, t=10x1. All unknown bits are set
to 0 to produce 1001. The final result is:
result = 10001001 (137)
This concludes the computation for a result > z that is a member of t.
The procedure for tnum_step() in this commit implements the idea
described above. As a proof of correctness, we verified the algorithm
against a logical specification of tnum_step. The specification asserts
the following about the inputs t, z and output res that:
1. res is a member of t, and
2. res is strictly greater than z, and
3. there does not exist another value res2 such that
3a. res2 is also a member of t, and
3b. res2 is greater than z
3c. res2 is smaller than res
We checked the implementation against this logical specification using
an SMT solver. The verification formula in SMTLIB format is available
at [1]. The verification returned an "unsat": indicating that no input
assignment exists for which the implementation and the specification
produce different outputs.
In addition, we also automatically generated the logical encoding of the
C implementation using Agni [2] and verified it against the same
specification. This verification also returned an "unsat", confirming
that the implementation is equivalent to the specification. The formula
for this check is also available at [3].

On PREEMPT_RT kernels, the per-CPU xdp_dev_bulk_queue (bq) can be
accessed concurrently by multiple preemptible tasks on the same CPU.
The original code assumes bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush() run atomically
with respect to each other on the same CPU, relying on
local_bh_disable() to prevent preemption. However, on PREEMPT_RT,
local_bh_disable() only calls migrate_disable() (when
PREEMPT_RT_NEEDS_BH_LOCK is not set) and does not disable
preemption, which allows CFS scheduling to preempt a task during
bq_xmit_all(), enabling another task on the same CPU to enter
bq_enqueue() and operate on the same per-CPU bq concurrently.
This leads to several races:
1. Double-free / use-after-free on bq->q[]: bq_xmit_all() snapshots
cnt = bq->count, then iterates bq->q[0..cnt-1] to transmit frames.
If preempted after the snapshot, a second task can call bq_enqueue()
-> bq_xmit_all() on the same bq, transmitting (and freeing) the
same frames. When the first task resumes, it operates on stale
pointers in bq->q[], causing use-after-free.
2. bq->count and bq->q[] corruption: concurrent bq_enqueue() modifying
bq->count and bq->q[] while bq_xmit_all() is reading them.
3. dev_rx/xdp_prog teardown race: __dev_flush() clears bq->dev_rx and
bq->xdp_prog after bq_xmit_all(). If preempted between
bq_xmit_all() return and bq->dev_rx = NULL, a preempting
bq_enqueue() sees dev_rx still set (non-NULL), skips adding bq to
the flush_list, and enqueues a frame. When __dev_flush() resumes,
it clears dev_rx and removes bq from the flush_list, orphaning the
newly enqueued frame.
4. __list_del_clearprev() on flush_node: similar to the cpumap race,
both tasks can call __list_del_clearprev() on the same flush_node,
the second dereferences the prev pointer already set to NULL.
The race between task A (__dev_flush -> bq_xmit_all) and task B
(bq_enqueue -> bq_xmit_all) on the same CPU:
Task A (xdp_do_flush) Task B (ndo_xdp_xmit redirect)
---------------------- --------------------------------
__dev_flush(flush_list)
bq_xmit_all(bq)
cnt = bq->count /* e.g. 16 */
/* start iterating bq->q[] */
<-- CFS preempts Task A -->
bq_enqueue(dev, xdpf)
bq->count == DEV_MAP_BULK_SIZE
bq_xmit_all(bq, 0)
cnt = bq->count /* same 16! */
ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[])
/* frames freed by driver */
bq->count = 0
<-- Task A resumes -->
ndo_xdp_xmit(bq->q[])
/* use-after-free: frames already freed! */
Fix this by adding a local_lock_t to xdp_dev_bulk_queue and acquiring
it in bq_enqueue() and __dev_flush(). These paths already run under
local_bh_disable(), so use local_lock_nested_bh() which on non-RT is
a pure annotation with no overhead, and on PREEMPT_RT provides a
per-CPU sleeping lock that serializes access to the bq.

Currently, when use_kmalloc_nolock is false, the freeing of fields for a
local storage selem is done eagerly before waiting for the RCU or RCU
tasks trace grace period to elapse. This opens up a window where the
program which has access to the selem can recreate the fields after the
freeing of fields is done eagerly, causing memory leaks when the element
is finally freed and returned to the kernel.
Make a few changes to address this. First, delay the freeing of fields
until after the grace periods have expired using a __bpf_selem_free_rcu
wrapper which is eventually invoked after transitioning through the
necessary number of grace period waits. Replace usage of the kfree_rcu
with call_rcu to be able to take a custom callback. Finally, care needs
to be taken to extend the rcu barriers for all cases, and not just when
use_kmalloc_nolock is true, as RCU and RCU tasks trace callbacks can be
in flight for either case and access the smap field, which is used to
obtain the BTF record to walk over special fields in the map value.
While we're at it, drop migrate_disable() from bpf_selem_free_rcu, since
migration should be disabled for RCU callbacks already.

to set a dtor on its bpf_mem_alloc or not. Unlike C++ where members can
opt out of const-ness using mutable, we must lose the const qualifier on

There is a race window where BPF hash map elements can leak special
fields if the program with access to the map value recreates these
special fields between the check_and_free_fields done on the map value
and its eventual return to the memory allocator.
Several ways were explored prior to this patch, most notably [0] tried
to use a poison value to reject attempts to recreate special fields for
map values that have been logically deleted but still accessible to BPF
programs (either while sitting in the free list or when reused). While
this approach works well for task work, timers, wq, etc., it is harder
to apply the idea to kptrs, which have a similar race and failure mode.
Instead, we change bpf_mem_alloc to allow registering destructor for
allocated elements, such that when they are returned to the allocator,
any special fields created while they were accessible to programs in the
mean time will be freed. If these values get reused, we do not free the
fields again before handing the element back. The special fields thus
may remain initialized while the map value sits in a free list.
When bpf_mem_alloc is retired in the future, a similar concept can be
introduced to kmalloc_nolock-backed kmem_cache, paired with the existing
idea of a constructor.
Note that the destructor registration happens in map_check_btf, after
the BTF record is populated and (at that point) avaiable for inspection
and duplication. Duplication is necessary since the freeing of embedded
bpf_mem_alloc can be decoupled from actual map lifetime due to logic
introduced to reduce the cost of rcu_barrier()s in mem alloc free path in
9f2c6e96c6 ("bpf: Optimize rcu_barrier usage between hash map and bpf_mem_alloc.").
As such, once all callbacks are done, we must also free the duplicated
record. To remove dependency on the bpf_map itself, also stash the key
size of the map to obtain value from htab_elem long after the map is
gone.

the decayed pointer type, as if it were observed.lines itself (though

Instead of changing the "expect" type to "char (*)[3][512]" and

explicitly cast the return to the desired type.
Note that I'm intentionally not switching back to byte-based "kmalloc"

LUO keeps track of successful retrieve attempts on a LUO file. It does so
to avoid multiple retrievals of the same file. Multiple retrievals cause
problems because once the file is retrieved, the serialized data
structures are likely freed and the file is likely in a very different
state from what the code expects.
The retrieve boolean in struct luo_file keeps track of this, and is passed
to the finish callback so it knows what work was already done and what it
has left to do.
All this works well when retrieve succeeds. When it fails,
luo_retrieve_file() returns the error immediately, without ever storing
anywhere that a retrieve was attempted or what its error code was. This
results in an errored LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_RETRIEVE_FD ioctl to userspace,
but nothing prevents it from trying this again.
The retry is problematic for much of the same reasons listed above. The
file is likely in a very different state than what the retrieve logic
normally expects, and it might even have freed some serialization data
structures. Attempting to access them or free them again is going to
break things.
For example, if memfd managed to restore 8 of its 10 folios, but fails on
the 9th, a subsequent retrieve attempt will try to call
kho_restore_folio() on the first folio again, and that will fail with a
warning since it is an invalid operation.
Apart from the retry, finish() also breaks. Since on failure the
retrieved bool in luo_file is never touched, the finish() call on session
close will tell the file handler that retrieve was never attempted, and it
will try to access or free the data structures that might not exist, much
in the same way as the retry attempt.
There is no sane way of attempting the retrieve again. Remember the error
retrieve returned and directly return it on a retry. Also pass this
status code to finish() so it can make the right decision on the work it
needs to do.
This is done by changing the bool to an integer. A value of 0 means
retrieve was never attempted, a positive value means it succeeded, and a
negative value means it failed and the error code is the value.

This config option goes way back - it used to be an internal debug
option to random.c (at that point called DEBUG_RANDOM_BOOT), then was
renamed and exposed as a config option as CONFIG_WARN_UNSEEDED_RANDOM,
and then further renamed to the current CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM.
It was all done with the best of intentions: the more limited
rate-limited reports were reporting some cases, but if you wanted to see
all the gory details, you'd enable this "ALL" option.
However, it turns out - perhaps not surprisingly - that when people
don't care about and fix the first rate-limited cases, they most
certainly don't care about any others either, and so warning about all
of them isn't actually helping anything.
And the non-ratelimited reporting causes problems, where well-meaning
people enable debug options, but the excessive flood of messages that
nobody cares about will hide actual real information when things go
wrong.
I just got a kernel bug report (which had nothing to do with randomness)
where two thirds of the the truncated dmesg was just variations of
random: get_random_u32 called from __get_random_u32_below+0x10/0x70 with crng_init=0
and in the process early boot messages had been lost (in addition to
making the messages that _hadn't_ been lost harder to read).
The proper way to find these things for the hypothetical developer that
cares - if such a person exists - is almost certainly with boot time
tracing. That gives you the option to get call graphs etc too, which is
likely a requirement for fixing any problems anyway.
See Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst for that option.
And if we for some reason do want to re-introduce actual printing of
these things, it will need to have some uniqueness filtering rather than
this "just print it all" model.

Syzkaller reported a refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free warning
in perf_mmap.
The issue is caused by a race condition between a failing mmap() setup
and a concurrent mmap() on a dependent event (e.g., using output
redirection).
In perf_mmap(), the ring_buffer (rb) is allocated and assigned to
event->rb with the mmap_mutex held. The mutex is then released to
perform map_range().
If map_range() fails, perf_mmap_close() is called to clean up.
However, since the mutex was dropped, another thread attaching to
this event (via inherited events or output redirection) can acquire
the mutex, observe the valid event->rb pointer, and attempt to
increment its reference count. If the cleanup path has already
dropped the reference count to zero, this results in a
use-after-free or refcount saturation warning.
Fix this by extending the scope of mmap_mutex to cover the
map_range() call. This ensures that the ring buffer initialization
and mapping (or cleanup on failure) happens atomically effectively,
preventing other threads from accessing a half-initialized or
dying ring buffer.

Before rseq became extensible, its original size was 32 bytes even
though the active rseq area was only 20 bytes. This had the following
impact in terms of userspace ecosystem evolution:
* The GNU libc between 2.35 and 2.39 expose a __rseq_size symbol set
to 32, even though the size of the active rseq area is really 20.
* The GNU libc 2.40 changes this __rseq_size to 20, thus making it
express the active rseq area.
* Starting from glibc 2.41, __rseq_size corresponds to the
AT_RSEQ_FEATURE_SIZE from getauxval(3).
This means that users of __rseq_size can always expect it to
correspond to the active rseq area, except for the value 32, for
which the active rseq area is 20 bytes.
Exposing a 32 bytes feature size would make life needlessly painful
for userspace. Therefore, add a reserved field at the end of the
rseq area to bump the feature size to 33 bytes. This reserved field
is expected to be replaced with whatever field will come next,
expecting that this field will be larger than 1 byte.
The effect of this change is to increase the size from 32 to 64 bytes
before we actually have fields using that memory.
Clarify the allocation size and alignment requirements in the struct
rseq uapi comment.
Change the value returned by getauxval(AT_RSEQ_ALIGN) to return the
value of the active rseq area size rounded up to next power of 2, which
guarantees that the rseq structure will always be aligned on the nearest
power of two large enough to contain it, even as it grows. Change the
alignment check in the rseq registration accordingly.
This will minimize the amount of ABI corner-cases we need to document
and require userspace to play games with. The rule stays simple when
__rseq_size != 32:
#define rseq_field_available(field) (__rseq_size >= offsetofend(struct rseq_abi, field))

commit 704069649b ("sched/core: Rework sched_class::wakeup_preempt()

It turns out there were two related problems that could lead to a
missed preemption:
- when hitting newidle balance from the idle thread, it would elevate
rb->next_class from &idle_sched_class to &fair_sched_class, causing
later wakeup_preempt() calls to not hit the sched_class_above()
case, and not issue resched_curr().
Notably, this modification pattern should only lower the
next_class, and never raise it. Create two new helper functions to
wrap this.
- when doing schedule_idle(), it was possible to miss (re)setting
rq->next_class to &idle_sched_class, leading to the very same
problem.

In the EEVDF framework with Run-to-Parity protection, `se->vprot` is an
independent variable defining the virtual protection timestamp.
When `reweight_entity()` is called (e.g., via nice/renice), it performs
the following actions to preserve Lag consistency:
1. Scales `se->vlag` based on the new weight.
2. Calls `place_entity()`, which recalculates `se->vruntime` based on
the new weight and scaled lag.
However, the current implementation fails to update `se->vprot`, leading
to mismatches between the task's actual runtime and its expected duration.

It turns out that zero_vruntime tracking is broken when there is but a single
task running. Current update paths are through __{en,de}queue_entity(), and
when there is but a single task, pick_next_task() will always return that one
task, and put_prev_set_next_task() will end up in neither function.
This can cause entity_key() to grow indefinitely large and cause overflows,
leading to much pain and suffering.
Furtermore, doing update_zero_vruntime() from __{de,en}queue_entity(), which
are called from {set_next,put_prev}_entity() has problems because:
- set_next_entity() calls __dequeue_entity() before it does cfs_rq->curr = se.
This means the avg_vruntime() will see the removal but not current, missing
the entity for accounting.
- put_prev_entity() calls __enqueue_entity() before it does cfs_rq->curr =
NULL. This means the avg_vruntime() will see the addition *and* current,
leading to double accounting.
Both cases are incorrect/inconsistent.
Noting that avg_vruntime is already called on each {en,de}queue, remove the
explicit avg_vruntime() calls (which removes an extra 64bit division for each
{en,de}queue) and have avg_vruntime() update zero_vruntime itself.
Additionally, have the tick call avg_vruntime() -- discarding the result, but
for the side-effect of updating zero_vruntime.
While there, optimize avg_vruntime() by noting that the average of one value is
rather trivial to compute.

# taskset -c 2 bash -c 'while :; do :; done&'

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split

resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.
Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want

- Fix function graph on archs that do not support use of ftrace_ops
When an architecture defines HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, it means
that its function graph tracer uses the ftrace_ops of the function
tracer to call its callbacks. This allows a single registered callback
to be called directly instead of checking the callback's meta data's
hash entries against the function being traced.
For architectures that do not support this feature, it must always
call the loop function that tests each registered callback (even if
there's only one). The loop function tests each callback's meta data
against its hash of functions and will call its callback if the
function being traced is in its hash map.
The issue was that there was no check against this and the direct
function was being called even if the architecture didn't support it.
This meant that if function tracing was enabled at the same time
as a callback was registered with the function graph tracer, its
callback would be called for every function that the function tracer
also traced, even if the callback's meta data only wanted to be
called back for a small subset of functions.
Prevent the direct calling for those architectures that do not support
it.
- Fix references to trace_event_file for hist files
The hist files used event_file_data() to get a reference to the

be freed (via RCU). Instead it should use the event_file_file()
helper that returns NULL if the trace_event_file is marked to be
freed so that no new references are added to it.
- Wake up hist poll readers when an event is being freed
When polling on a hist file, the task is only awoken when a hist
trigger is triggered. This means that if an event is being freed
while there's a task waiting on its hist file, it will need to wait
until the hist trigger occurs to wake it up and allow the freeing
to happen. Note, the event will not be completely freed until all
references are removed, and a hist poller keeps a reference. But
it should still be woken when the event is being freed.

The event_hist_poll() function attempts to verify whether an event file is
being removed, but this check may not occur or could be unnecessarily
delayed. This happens because hist_poll_wakeup() is currently invoked only
from event_hist_trigger() when a hist command is triggered. If the event
file is being removed, no associated hist command will be triggered and a
waiter will be woken up only after an unrelated hist command is triggered.
Fix the issue by adding a call to hist_poll_wakeup() in
remove_event_file_dir() after setting the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag. This
ensures that a task polling on a hist file is woken up and receives
EPOLLERR.

The event_hist_open() and event_hist_poll() functions currently retrieve
a trace_event_file pointer from a file struct by invoking
event_file_data(), which simply returns file->f_inode->i_private. The
functions then check if the pointer is NULL to determine whether the event
is still valid. This approach is flawed because i_private is assigned when
an eventfs inode is allocated and remains set throughout its lifetime.
Instead, the code should call event_file_file(), which checks for
EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED. Using the incorrect access function may result in the
code potentially opening a hist file for an event that is being removed or
becoming stuck while polling on this file.
Correct the access method to event_file_file() in both functions.

The function graph tracer was modified to us the ftrace_ops of the
function tracer. This simplified the code as well as allowed more features
of the function graph tracer.
Not all architectures were converted over as it required the
implementation of HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS to implement. For those
architectures, it still did it the old way where the function graph tracer
handle was called by the function tracer trampoline. The handler then had
to check the hash to see if the registered handlers wanted to be called by
that function or not.
In order to speed up the function graph tracer that used ftrace_ops, if
only one callback was registered with function graph, it would call its
function directly via a static call.
Now, if the architecture does not support the use of using ftrace_ops and
still has the ftrace function trampoline calling the function graph
handler, then by doing a direct call it removes the check against the
handler's hash (list of functions it wants callbacks to), and it may call
that handler for functions that the handler did not request calls for.
On 32bit x86, which does not support the ftrace_ops use with function
graph tracer, it shows the issue:
~# trace-cmd start -p function -l schedule
~# trace-cmd show
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | |
2) * 11898.94 us | schedule();
3) # 1783.041 us | schedule();
1) | schedule() {
------------------------------------------
1) bash-8369 => kworker-7669
------------------------------------------
1) | schedule() {
------------------------------------------
1) kworker-7669 => bash-8369
------------------------------------------
1) + 97.004 us | }
1) | schedule() {
[..]
Now by starting the function tracer is another instance:
~# trace-cmd start -B foo -p function
This causes the function graph tracer to trace all functions (because the
function trace calls the function graph tracer for each on, and the
function graph trace is doing a direct call):
~# trace-cmd show
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | |
1) 1.669 us | } /* preempt_count_sub */
1) + 10.443 us | } /* _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore */
1) | tick_program_event() {
1) | clockevents_program_event() {
1) 1.044 us | ktime_get();
1) 6.481 us | lapic_next_event();
1) + 10.114 us | }
1) + 11.790 us | }
1) ! 181.223 us | } /* hrtimer_interrupt */
1) ! 184.624 us | } /* __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt */
1) | irq_exit_rcu() {
1) 0.678 us | preempt_count_sub();
When it should still only be tracing the schedule() function.
To fix this, add a macro FGRAPH_NO_DIRECT to be set to 0 when the
architecture does not support function graph use of ftrace_ops, and set to
1 otherwise. Then use this macro to know to allow function graph tracer to
call the handlers directly or not.

Check the event length before adding it for accessing next index in
rb_read_data_buffer(). Since this function is used for validating
possibly broken ring buffers, the length of the event could be broken.
In that case, the new event (e + len) can point a wrong address.
To avoid invalid memory access at boot, check whether the length of
each event is in the possible range before using it.

There is a pointer head_page in rb_meta_validate_events() which is not
initialized at the beginning of a function. This pointer can be dereferenced
if there is a failure during reader page validation. In this case the control
is passed to "invalid" label where the pointer is dereferenced in a loop.
To fix the issue initialize orig_head and head_page before calling
rb_validate_buffer.
