commit 17d8017581 upstream.
Reading the ring buffer does a swap of a sub-buffer within the ring buffer
with a empty sub-buffer. This allows the reader to have full access to the
content of the sub-buffer that was swapped out without having to worry
about contention with the writer.
The readers call ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() to allocate a page that
will be used to swap with the ring buffer. When the code is finished with
the reader page, it calls ring_buffer_free_read_page(). Instead of freeing
the page, it stores it as a spare. Then next call to
ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() will return this spare instead of calling
into the memory management system to allocate a new page.
Unfortunately, on freeing of the ring buffer, this spare page is not
freed, and causes a memory leak.

commit c0591b1ccc upstream.
Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is responsible for freeing pages
backing buffered events and this process can run concurrently with
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve().
The following race is currently possible:
* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called on CPU 0. It
increments trace_buffered_event_cnt on each CPU and waits via
synchronize_rcu() for each user of trace_buffered_event to complete.
* After synchronize_rcu() is finished, function
trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to
trace_buffered_event. All counters trace_buffered_event_cnt are at 1
and all pointers trace_buffered_event are still valid.
* At this point, on a different CPU 1, the execution reaches
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve(). The function calls
preempt_disable_notrace() and only now enters an RCU read-side
critical section. The function proceeds and reads a still valid
pointer from trace_buffered_event[CPU1] into the local variable
"entry". However, it doesn't yet read trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1]
which happens later.
* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() continues. It frees
trace_buffered_event[CPU1] and decrements
trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] back to 0.
* Function trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() continues. It reads and
increments trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] from 0 to 1. This makes it
believe that it can use the "entry" that it already obtained but the
pointer is now invalid and any access results in a use-after-free.
Fix the problem by making a second synchronize_rcu() call after all
trace_buffered_event values are set to NULL. This waits on all potential
users in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() that still read a previous
pointer from trace_buffered_event.

$ stress-ng --sysinfo $(nproc)
The warning indicates that the current ring_buffer_per_cpu is not in the
committing state. It happens because the active ring_buffer_event
doesn't actually come from the ring_buffer_per_cpu but is allocated from
trace_buffered_event.
The bug is in function trace_buffered_event_disable() where the
following normally happens:
* The code invokes disable_trace_buffered_event() via
smp_call_function_many() and follows it by synchronize_rcu(). This
increments the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event_cnt on each
target CPU and grants trace_buffered_event_disable() the exclusive
access to the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event.
* Maintenance is performed on trace_buffered_event, all per-CPU event
buffers get freed.
* The code invokes enable_trace_buffered_event() via
smp_call_function_many(). This decrements trace_buffered_event_cnt and
releases the access to trace_buffered_event.
A problem is that smp_call_function_many() runs a given function on all
target CPUs except on the current one. The following can then occur:
* Task X executing trace_buffered_event_disable() runs on CPU 0.
* The control reaches synchronize_rcu() and the task gets rescheduled on
another CPU 1.
* The RCU synchronization finishes. At this point,
trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to all
trace_buffered_event variables except trace_buffered_event[CPU0]
because trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is never incremented and if the
buffer is currently unused, remains set to 0.
* A different task Y is scheduled on CPU 0 and hits a trace event. The
code in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() sees that
trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is set to 0 and decides the use the
buffer provided by trace_buffered_event[CPU0].
* Task X continues its execution in trace_buffered_event_disable(). The
code incorrectly frees the event buffer pointed by
trace_buffered_event[CPU0] and resets the variable to NULL.
* Task Y writes event data to the now freed buffer and later detects the
created inconsistency.
The issue is observable since commit dea499781a ("tracing: Fix warning
in trace_buffered_event_disable()") which moved the call of
trace_buffered_event_disable() in __ftrace_event_enable_disable()
earlier, prior to invoking call->class->reg(.. TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER ..).
The underlying problem in trace_buffered_event_disable() is however
present since the original implementation in commit 0fc1b09ff1
("tracing: Use temp buffer when filtering events").
Fix the problem by replacing the two smp_call_function_many() calls with
on_each_cpu_mask() which invokes a given callback on all CPUs.

commit 7be76461f3 upstream.
It use to be that only the top level instance had a snapshot buffer (for
latency tracers like wakeup and irqsoff). The update of the ring buffer
size would check if the instance was the top level and if so, it would
also update the snapshot buffer as it needs to be the same as the main
buffer.
Now that lower level instances also has a snapshot buffer, they too need
to update their snapshot buffer sizes when the main buffer is changed,
otherwise the following can be triggered:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo 1500 > buffer_size_kb
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo irqsoff > instances/foo/current_tracer
# echo 1000 > instances/foo/buffer_size_kb

[ Upstream commit 34209fe83e ]
Function trace_buffered_event_disable() produces an unexpected warning
when the previous call to trace_buffered_event_enable() fails to
allocate pages for buffered events.
The situation can occur as follows:
* The counter trace_buffered_event_ref is at 0.
* The soft mode gets enabled for some event and
trace_buffered_event_enable() is called. The function increments
trace_buffered_event_ref to 1 and starts allocating event pages.
* The allocation fails for some page and trace_buffered_event_disable()
is called for cleanup.
* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() decrements
trace_buffered_event_ref back to 0, recognizes that it was the last
use of buffered events and frees all allocated pages.
* The control goes back to trace_buffered_event_enable() which returns.
The caller of trace_buffered_event_enable() has no information that
the function actually failed.
* Some time later, the soft mode is disabled for the same event.
Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called. It warns on
"WARN_ON_ONCE(!trace_buffered_event_ref)" and returns.
Buffered events are just an optimization and can handle failures. Make
trace_buffered_event_enable() exit on the first failure and left any
cleanup later to when trace_buffered_event_disable() is called.

[ Upstream commit 23cce5f254 ]
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.

When user resize all trace ring buffer through file 'buffer_size_kb',
then in ring_buffer_resize(), kernel allocates buffer pages for each
cpu in a loop.
If the kernel preemption model is PREEMPT_NONE and there are many cpus
and there are many buffer pages to be allocated, it may not give up cpu
for a long time and finally cause a softlockup.
To avoid it, call cond_resched() after each cpu buffer allocation.

}
To fix it, in s_start(), close tracer before switching then reopen the
new tracer after switching. And some tracers like 'wakeup' may not update
'iter->private' in some cases when reopen, then it should be cleared
to avoid being mistakenly closed again.

```
To fix it, IIUC, we can change to call trace_buffered_event_enable() at
fist time soft-mode enabled, and call trace_buffered_event_disable() at
last time soft-mode disabled.

[ Upstream commit 2d093282b0 ]
When pages are removed in rb_remove_pages(), 'cpu_buffer->read' is set
to 0 in order to make sure any read iterators reset themselves. However,
this will mess 'entries' stating, see following steps:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# 1. Enlarge ring buffer prepare for later reducing:
# echo 20 > per_cpu/cpu0/buffer_size_kb
# 2. Write a log into ring buffer of cpu0:
# taskset -c 0 echo "hello1" > trace_marker
# 3. Read the log:
# cat per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe
<...>-332 [000] ..... 62.406844: tracing_mark_write: hello1
# 4. Stop reading and see the stats, now 0 entries, and 1 event readed:
# cat per_cpu/cpu0/stats
entries: 0
[...]
read events: 1
# 5. Reduce the ring buffer
# echo 7 > per_cpu/cpu0/buffer_size_kb
# 6. Now entries became unexpected 1 because actually no entries!!!
# cat per_cpu/cpu0/stats
entries: 1

To fix it, introduce 'page_removed' field to count total removed pages
since last reset, then use it to let read iterators reset themselves
instead of changing the 'read' pointer.

Through the vmcore, I found it's because in tracing_read_pipe(),
ring_buffer_empty_cpu() found some buffer is not empty but then it
cannot read anything due to "rb_num_of_entries() == 0" always true,
Then it infinitely loop the procedure due to user buffer not been
filled, see following code path:
tracing_read_pipe() {
... ...
waitagain:
tracing_wait_pipe() // 1. find non-empty buffer here
trace_find_next_entry_inc() // 2. loop here try to find an entry
__find_next_entry()
ring_buffer_empty_cpu(); // 3. find non-empty buffer
peek_next_entry() // 4. but peek always return NULL
ring_buffer_peek()
rb_buffer_peek()
rb_get_reader_page()
// 5. because rb_num_of_entries() == 0 always true here
// then return NULL
// 6. user buffer not been filled so goto 'waitgain'
// and eventually leads to an deadloop in kernel!!!
}
By some analyzing, I found that when resetting ringbuffer, the 'entries'
of its pages are not all cleared (see rb_reset_cpu()). Then when reducing
the ringbuffer, and if some reduced pages exist dirty 'entries' data, they
will be added into 'cpu_buffer->overrun' (see rb_remove_pages()), which
cause wrong 'overrun' count and eventually cause the deadloop issue.
To fix it, we need to clear every pages in rb_reset_cpu().

commit 3f649ab728 upstream.
Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.
In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:
git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
xargs perl -pi -e \
's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'
drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.
No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,

commit 6455b6163d upstream.
When user reads file 'trace_pipe', kernel keeps printing following logs
that warn at "cpu_buffer->reader_page->read > rb_page_size(reader)" in
rb_get_reader_page(). It just looks like there's an infinite loop in
tracing_read_pipe(). This problem occurs several times on arm64 platform
when testing v5.10 and below.
Call trace:

Then I dump the vmcore and look into the problematic per_cpu ring_buffer,
I found that tail_page/commit_page/reader_page are on the same page while
reader_page->read is obviously abnormal:
tail_page == commit_page == reader_page == {
.write = 0x100d20,
.read = 0x8f9f4805, // Far greater than 0xd20, obviously abnormal!!!
.entries = 0x10004c,
.real_end = 0x0,
.page = {
.time_stamp = 0x857257416af0,
.commit = 0xd20, // This page hasn't been full filled.
// .data[0...0xd20] seems normal.
}
}
The root cause is most likely the race that reader and writer are on the
same page while reader saw an event that not fully committed by writer.
To fix this, add memory barriers to make sure the reader can see the
content of what is committed. Since commit a0fcaaed0c ("ring-buffer: Fix
race between reset page and reading page") has added the read barrier in
rb_get_reader_page(), here we just need to add the write barrier.

In a previous commit 7433632c9f, buffer, buffer->buffers and
buffer->buffers[cpu] in ring_buffer_wake_waiters() can be NULL,
and thus the related checks are added.
However, in the same call stack, these variables are also used in
ring_buffer_free_read_page():
tracing_buffers_release()
ring_buffer_wake_waiters(iter->array_buffer->buffer)
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] -> Add checks by previous commit
ring_buffer_free_read_page(iter->array_buffer->buffer)
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] -> No check
Thus, to avod possible null-pointer derefernces, the related checks
should be added.
These results are reported by a static tool designed by myself.

commit 3bb06eb6e9 upstream.
Currently trace_printk() can be used as soon as early_trace_init() is
called from start_kernel(). But if a crash happens, and
"ftrace_dump_on_oops" is set on the kernel command line, all you get will
be:
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 347519us : Unknown type 6
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 353141us : Unknown type 6
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 358684us : Unknown type 6
This is because the trace_printk() event (type 6) hasn't been registered
yet. That gets done via an early_initcall(), which may be early, but not
early enough.
Instead of registering the trace_printk() event (and other ftrace events,
which are not trace events) via an early_initcall(), have them registered at
the same time that trace_printk() can be used. This way, if there is a
crash before early_initcall(), then the trace_printk()s will actually be
useful.

commit a0fcaaed0c upstream.
The ring buffer is broken up into sub buffers (currently of page size).
Each sub buffer has a pointer to its "tail" (the last event written to the
sub buffer). When a new event is requested, the tail is locally
incremented to cover the size of the new event. This is done in a way that
there is no need for locking.
If the tail goes past the end of the sub buffer, the process of moving to
the next sub buffer takes place. After setting the current sub buffer to
the next one, the previous one that had the tail go passed the end of the
sub buffer needs to be reset back to the original tail location (before
the new event was requested) and the rest of the sub buffer needs to be
"padded".
The race happens when a reader takes control of the sub buffer. As readers
do a "swap" of sub buffers from the ring buffer to get exclusive access to
the sub buffer, it replaces the "head" sub buffer with an empty sub buffer
that goes back into the writable portion of the ring buffer. This swap can
happen as soon as the writer moves to the next sub buffer and before it
updates the last sub buffer with padding.
Because the sub buffer can be released to the reader while the writer is
still updating the padding, it is possible for the reader to see the event
that goes past the end of the sub buffer. This can cause obvious issues.
To fix this, add a few memory barriers so that the reader definitely sees
the updates to the sub buffer, and also waits until the writer has put
back the "tail" of the sub buffer back to the last event that was written
on it.
To be paranoid, it will only spin for 1 second, otherwise it will
warn and shutdown the ring buffer code. 1 second should be enough as
the writer does have preemption disabled. If the writer doesn't move
within 1 second (with preemption disabled) something is horribly
wrong. No interrupt should last 1 second!

"full_waiters_pending". The full_waiters_pending is set when a waiter is
added to the wait queue. The wakeup_full is only set when an event is
triggered, and it clears the full_waiters_pending to avoid multiple calls
to irq_work_queue().
The irq_work callback really needs to check both wakeup_full as well as
full_waiters_pending such that this code can be used to wake up waiters
when a file is closed that represents the ring buffer and the waiters need
to be woken up.

commit fa8f4a8973 upstream.
If a page is partially read, and then the splice system call is run
against the ring buffer, it will always fail to read, no matter how much
is in the ring buffer. That's because the code path for a partial read of
the page does will fail if the "full" flag is set.
The splice system call wants full pages, so if the read of the ring buffer
is not yet full, it should return zero, and the splice will block. But if
a previous read was done, where the beginning has been consumed, it should
still be given to the splice caller if the rest of the page has been
written to.
This caused the splice command to never consume data in this scenario, and
let the ring buffer just fill up and lose events.

1. Set a 'mod' filter:
$ echo 'write*:mod:ext3' > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
2. Invert above filter:

To prepare for support asynchronous tracer_init_tracefs initcall,
avoid calling create_trace_option_files before __update_tracer_options.
Otherwise, create_trace_option_files will show warning because
some tracers in trace_types list are already in tr->topts.
For example, hwlat_tracer call register_tracer in late_initcall,
and global_trace.dir is already created in tracing_init_dentry,
hwlat_tracer will be put into tr->topts.
Then if the __update_tracer_options is executed after hwlat_tracer

[ Upstream commit 3203ce39ac ]
The kernel parameter "tp_printk_stop_on_boot" starts with "tp_printk" which is
the same as another kernel parameter "tp_printk". If "tp_printk" setup is
called before the "tp_printk_stop_on_boot", it will override the latter
and keep it from being set.
This is similar to other kernel parameter issues, such as:
Commit 745a600cf1 ("um: console: Ignore console= option")
or init/do_mounts.c:45 (setup function of "ro" kernel param)
Fix it by checking for a "_" right after the "tp_printk" and if that
exists do not process the parameter.

commit 4030a6e6a6 upstream.
Currently tgid_map is sized at PID_MAX_DEFAULT entries, which means that
on systems where pid_max is configured higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT the
ftrace record-tgid option doesn't work so well. Any tasks with PIDs
higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT are simply not recorded in tgid_map, and
don't show up in the saved_tgids file.
In particular since systemd v243 & above configure pid_max to its
highest possible 1<<22 value by default on 64 bit systems this renders
the record-tgids option of little use.
Increase the size of tgid_map to the configured pid_max instead,
allowing it to cover the full range of PIDs up to the maximum value of
PID_MAX_LIMIT if the system is configured that way.
On 64 bit systems with pid_max == PID_MAX_LIMIT this will increase the
size of tgid_map from 256KiB to 16MiB. Whilst this 64x increase in
memory overhead sounds significant 64 bit systems are presumably best
placed to accommodate it, and since tgid_map is only allocated when the
record-tgid option is actually used presumably the user would rather it
spends sufficient memory to actually record the tgids they expect.
The size of tgid_map could also increase for CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=y
configurations, but these seem unlikely to be systems upon which people
are both configuring a large pid_max and running ftrace with record-tgid
anyway.
Of note is that we only allocate tgid_map once, the first time that the
record-tgid option is enabled. Therefore its size is only set once, to
the value of pid_max at the time the record-tgid option is first
enabled. If a user increases pid_max after that point, the saved_tgids
file will not contain entries for any tasks with pids beyond the earlier
value of pid_max.

1. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
2. cat events/sched/sched_switch/hist
3. kernel panics on attempting to read hist
This happens because the sort() function expects a generic

To prevent this CFI failure, change tracing map cmp_entries_* function
signatures to match this.
Also, fix the build error reported by the kernel test robot [1].

commit ed65df63a3 upstream.
While writing an email explaining the "bit = 0" logic for a discussion on
making ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() disable preemption, I discovered a
path that makes the "not do the logic if bit is zero" unsafe.
The recursion logic is done in hot paths like the function tracer. Thus,
any code executed causes noticeable overhead. Thus, tricks are done to try
to limit the amount of code executed. This included the recursion testing
logic.
Having recursion testing is important, as there are many paths that can
end up in an infinite recursion cycle when tracing every function in the
kernel. Thus protection is needed to prevent that from happening.
Because it is OK to recurse due to different running context levels (e.g.
an interrupt preempts a trace, and then a trace occurs in the interrupt
handler), a set of bits are used to know which context one is in (normal,
softirq, irq and NMI). If a recursion occurs in the same level, it is
prevented*.
Then there are infrastructure levels of recursion as well. When more than
one callback is attached to the same function to trace, it calls a loop
function to iterate over all the callbacks. Both the callbacks and the
loop function have recursion protection. The callbacks use the
"ftrace_test_recursion_trylock()" which has a "function" set of context
bits to test, and the loop function calls the internal
trace_test_and_set_recursion() directly, with an "internal" set of bits.
If an architecture does not implement all the features supported by ftrace
then the callbacks are never called directly, and the loop function is
called instead, which will implement the features of ftrace.
Since both the loop function and the callbacks do recursion protection, it
was seemed unnecessary to do it in both locations. Thus, a trick was made
to have the internal set of recursion bits at a more significant bit
location than the function bits. Then, if any of the higher bits were set,
the logic of the function bits could be skipped, as any new recursion
would first have to go through the loop function.
This is true for architectures that do not support all the ftrace
features, because all functions being traced must first go through the
loop function before going to the callbacks. But this is not true for
architectures that support all the ftrace features. That's because the
loop function could be called due to two callbacks attached to the same
function, but then a recursion function inside the callback could be
called that does not share any other callback, and it will be called
directly.
i.e.
traced_function_1: [ more than one callback tracing it ]
call loop_func
loop_func:
trace_recursion set internal bit
call callback
callback:
trace_recursion [ skipped because internal bit is set, return 0 ]
call traced_function_2
traced_function_2: [ only traced by above callback ]
call callback
callback:
trace_recursion [ skipped because internal bit is set, return 0 ]
call traced_function_2
[ wash, rinse, repeat, BOOM! out of shampoo! ]
Thus, the "bit == 0 skip" trick is not safe, unless the loop function is
call for all functions.
Since we want to encourage architectures to implement all ftrace features,
having them slow down due to this extra logic may encourage the
maintainers to update to the latest ftrace features. And because this
logic is only safe for them, remove it completely.
[*] There is on layer of recursion that is allowed, and that is to allow
for the transition between interrupt context (normal -> softirq ->
irq -> NMI), because a trace may occur before the context update is
visible to the trace recursion logic.

commit 67f0d6d988 upstream.
The "rb_per_cpu_empty()" misinterpret the condition (as not-empty) when
"head_page" and "commit_page" of "struct ring_buffer_per_cpu" points to
the same buffer page, whose "buffer_data_page" is empty and "read" field
is non-zero.
An error scenario could be constructed as followed (kernel perspective):
1. All pages in the buffer has been accessed by reader(s) so that all of
them will have non-zero "read" field.
2. Read and clear all buffer pages so that "rb_num_of_entries()" will
return 0 rendering there's no more data to read. It is also required
that the "read_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to the same
page, while "head_page" is the next page of them.
3. Invoke "ring_buffer_lock_reserve()" with large enough "length"
so that it shot pass the end of current tail buffer page. Now the
"head_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to the same page.
4. Discard current event with "ring_buffer_discard_commit()", so that
"head_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to a page whose buffer
data page is now empty.
When the error scenario has been constructed, "tracing_read_pipe" will
be trapped inside a deadloop: "trace_empty()" returns 0 since
"rb_per_cpu_empty()" returns 0 when it hits the CPU containing such
constructed ring buffer. Then "trace_find_next_entry_inc()" always
return NULL since "rb_num_of_entries()" reports there's no more entry
to read. Finally "trace_seq_to_user()" returns "-EBUSY" spanking
"tracing_read_pipe" back to the start of the "waitagain" loop.
I've also written a proof-of-concept script to construct the scenario
and trigger the bug automatically, you can use it to trace and validate
my reasoning above:
https://github.com/aegistudio/RingBufferDetonator.git
Tests has been carried out on linux kernel 5.14-rc2
(2734d6c1b1), my fixed version
of kernel (for testing whether my update fixes the bug) and
some older kernels (for range of affected kernels). Test result is
also attached to the proof-of-concept repository.

commit b81b3e959a upstream.
The tgid_map array records a mapping from pid to tgid, where the index
of an entry within the array is the pid & the value stored at that index
is the tgid.
The saved_tgids_next() function iterates over pointers into the tgid_map
array & dereferences the pointers which results in the tgid, but then it
passes that dereferenced value to trace_find_tgid() which treats it as a
pid & does a further lookup within the tgid_map array. It seems likely
that the intent here was to skip over entries in tgid_map for which the
recorded tgid is zero, but instead we end up skipping over entries for
which the thread group leader hasn't yet had its own tgid recorded in
tgid_map.
A minimal fix would be to remove the call to trace_find_tgid, turning:
if (trace_find_tgid(*ptr))
into:
if (*ptr)
..but it seems like this logic can be much simpler if we simply let
seq_read() iterate over the whole tgid_map array & filter out empty
entries by returning SEQ_SKIP from saved_tgids_show(). Here we take that
approach, removing the incorrect logic here entirely.

commit 89529d8b8f upstream.
The trace_clock_global() tries to make sure the events between CPUs is
somewhat in order. A global value is used and updated by the latest read
of a clock. If one CPU is ahead by a little, and is read by another CPU, a
lock is taken, and if the timestamp of the other CPU is behind, it will
simply use the other CPUs timestamp.
The lock is also only taken with a "trylock" due to tracing, and strange
recursions can happen. The lock is not taken at all in NMI context.
In the case where the lock is not able to be taken, the non synced
timestamp is returned. But it will not be less than the saved global
timestamp.
The problem arises because when the time goes "backwards" the time
returned is the saved timestamp plus 1. If the lock is not taken, and the
plus one to the timestamp is returned, there's a small race that can cause
the time to go backwards!

trace_clock_global() {
ts = clock() [ 1000 ]
trylock(clock_lock) [ success ]
global_ts = ts; [ 1000 ]
<interrupted by NMI>
trace_clock_global() {
ts = clock() [ 999 ]
if (ts < global_ts)
ts = global_ts + 1 [ 1001 ]
trylock(clock_lock) [ fail ]
return ts [ 1001]
}
unlock(clock_lock);
return ts; [ 1000 ]
}
trace_clock_global() {
ts = clock() [ 1000 ]
if (ts < global_ts) [ false 1000 == 1000 ]
trylock(clock_lock) [ success ]
global_ts = ts; [ 1000 ]
unlock(clock_lock)
return ts; [ 1000 ]
}
The above case shows to reads of trace_clock_global() on the same CPU, but
the second read returns one less than the first read. That is, time when
backwards, and this is not what is allowed by trace_clock_global().
This was triggered by heavy tracing and the ring buffer checker that tests
for the clock going backwards:
Ring buffer clock went backwards: 20613921464 -> 20613921463

This happened more than once, and always for an off by one result. It also
started happening after commit aafe104aa9 was added.

commit 4fdd595e4f upstream.
A while ago, when the "trace" file was opened, tracing was stopped, and
code was added to stop recording the comms to saved_cmdlines, for mapping
of the pids to the task name.
Code has been added that only records the comm if a trace event occurred,
and there's no reason to not trace it if the trace file is opened.

commit 85550c83da upstream.
The saved_cmdlines is used to map pids to the task name, such that the
output of the tracing does not just show pids, but also gives a human
readable name for the task.
If the name is not mapped, the output looks like this:
<...>-1316 [005] ...2 132.044039: ...
Instead of this:
gnome-shell-1316 [005] ...2 132.044039: ...
The names are updated when tracing is running, but are skipped if tracing
is stopped. Unfortunately, this stops the recording of the names if the
top level tracer is stopped, and not if there's other tracers active.
The recording of a name only happens when a new event is written into a
ring buffer, so there is no need to test if tracing is on or not. If
tracing is off, then no event is written and no need to test if tracing is
off or not.
Remove the check, as it hides the names of tasks for events in the
instance buffers.
