"Have ftrace lookup_rec() return a consistent record otherwise it can
break live patching"
* tag 'trace-v5.6-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
ftrace: Return the first found result in lookup_rec()
It appears that ip ranges can overlap so. In that case lookup_rec()
returns whatever results it got last even if it found nothing in last
searched page.
This breaks an obscure livepatch late module patching usecase:
- load livepatch
- load the patched module
- unload livepatch
- try to load livepatch again
To fix this return from lookup_rec() as soon as it found the record
containing searched-for ip. This used to be this way prior lookup_rec()
introduction.

The above call stack is actually very similar to an issue
reported by Commit eac9153f2b ("bpf/stackmap: Fix deadlock with
rq_lock in bpf_get_stack()") by Song Liu. The only difference is
bpf_send_signal() helper instead of bpf_get_stack() helper.
The above deadlock is triggered with a perf_sw_event.
Similar to Commit eac9153f2b, the below almost identical reproducer
used tracepoint point sched/sched_switch so the issue can be easily caught.

and the following command:

The deadlock can be reproduced in our production system.
Similar to Song's fix, the fix is to delay sending signal if
irqs is disabled to avoid deadlocks involving with rq_lock.
With this change, my above stress-test in our production system
won't cause deadlock any more.
I also implemented a scale-down version of reproducer in the
selftest (a subsequent commit). With latest bpf-next,
it complains for the following potential deadlock.

Deadlock happens on CPU0 when it tries to acquire &sighand->siglock
but it has been held by CPU1 and CPU1 tries to grab &rq->lock
and cannot get it.
This is not exactly the callstack in our production environment,
but sympotom is similar and both locks are using spin_lock_irqsave()
to acquire the lock, and both involves rq_lock. The fix to delay
sending signal when irq is disabled also fixed this issue.

There was a recent change in blktrace.c that added a RCU protection to
`q->blk_trace` in order to fix a use-after-free issue during access.
However the change missed an edge case that can lead to dereferencing of
`bt` pointer even when it's NULL:
Coverity static analyzer marked this as a FORWARD_NULL issue with CID
1460458.
```
/kernel/trace/blktrace.c: 1904 in sysfs_blk_trace_attr_store()
1898 ret = 0;
1899 if (bt == NULL)
1900 ret = blk_trace_setup_queue(q, bdev);
1901
1902 if (ret == 0) {
1903 if (attr == &dev_attr_act_mask)
>>> CID 1460458: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)
>>> Dereferencing null pointer "bt".
1904 bt->act_mask = value;
1905 else if (attr == &dev_attr_pid)
1906 bt->pid = value;
1907 else if (attr == &dev_attr_start_lba)
1908 bt->start_lba = value;
1909 else if (attr == &dev_attr_end_lba)
```
Added a reassignment with RCU annotation to fix the issue.

The hwlat tracer runs a loop of width time during a given window. It then
reports the max latency over a given threshold and records a timestamp. But
this timestamp is the time after the width has finished, and not the time it
actually triggered.
Record the actual time when the latency was greater than the threshold as
well as the number of times it was greater in a given width per window.

KASAN is reporting that __blk_add_trace() has a use-after-free issue
when accessing q->blk_trace. Indeed the switching of block tracing (and
thus eventual freeing of q->blk_trace) is completely unsynchronized with
the currently running tracing and thus it can happen that the blk_trace
structure is being freed just while __blk_add_trace() works on it.
Protect accesses to q->blk_trace by RCU during tracing and make sure we
wait for the end of RCU grace period when shutting down tracing. Luckily
that is rare enough event that we can afford that. Note that postponing
the freeing of blk_trace to an RCU callback should better be avoided as
it could have unexpected user visible side-effects as debugfs files
would be still existing for a short while block tracing has been shut
down.

Clear trace_state data structure when starting trace
in __synth_event_trace_start() internal function.
Currently trace_state is initialized only in the
synth_event_trace_start() API, but the trace_state
in synth_event_trace() and synth_event_trace_array()
are on the stack without initialization.
This means those APIs will see wrong parameters and
wil skip closing process in __synth_event_trace_end()
because trace_state->disabled may be !0.

The tracing seftests checks various aspects of the tracing infrastructure,
and one is filtering. If trace_printk() is active during a self test, it can
cause the filtering to fail, which will disable that part of the trace.
To keep the selftests from failing because of trace_printk() calls,
trace_printk() checks the variable tracing_selftest_running, and if set, it
does not write to the tracing buffer.
As some tracers were registered earlier in boot, the selftest they triggered
would fail because not all the infrastructure was set up for the full
selftest. Thus, some of the tests were post poned to when their
infrastructure was ready (namely file system code). The postpone code did
not set the tracing_seftest_running variable, and could fail if a
trace_printk() was added and executed during their run.

The test code that tests synthetic event creation pushes in as one of its
test fields the current CPU using "smp_processor_id()". As this is just
something to see if the value is correctly passed in, and the actual CPU
used does not matter, use raw_smp_processor_id(), otherwise with debug
preemption enabled, a warning happens as the smp_processor_id() is called
without preemption enabled.

Fix a varargs-related bug in print_synth_event() which resulted in
strange output and oopses on 32-bit x86 systems. The problem is that
trace_seq_printf() expects the varargs to match the format string, but
print_synth_event() was always passing u64 values regardless. This
results in unspecified behavior when unpacking with va_arg() in
trace_seq_printf().
Add a function that takes the size into account when calling
trace_seq_printf().

synth_event_trace() is the varargs version of synth_event_trace_array(),
which takes an array of u64, as do synth_event_add_val() et al.
To not only be consistent with those, but also to address the fact
that synth_event_trace() expects every arg to be of the same type
since it doesn't also pass in e.g. a format string, the caller needs
to make sure all args are of the same type, u64. u64 is used because
it needs to accomodate the largest type available in synthetic events,
which is u64.
This fixes the bug reported by the kernel test robot/Rong Chen.

Branch records are a CPU feature that can be configured to record
certain branches that are taken during code execution. This data is
particularly interesting for profile guided optimizations. perf has had
branch record support for a while but the data collection can be a bit
coarse grained.
We (Facebook) have seen in experiments that associating metadata with
branch records can improve results (after postprocessing). We generally
use bpf_probe_read_*() to get metadata out of userspace. That's why bpf
support for branch records is useful.
Aside from this particular use case, having branch data available to bpf
progs can be useful to get stack traces out of userspace applications
that omit frame pointers.

The patch 'tracing: Fix histogram code when expression has same var as
value' added code to return an existing variable reference when
creating a new variable reference, which resulted in var_ref_vals
slots being reused instead of being duplicated.
The implementation of the trace action assumes that the end of the
var_ref_vals array starting at action_data.var_ref_idx corresponds to
the values that will be assigned to the trace params. The patch
mentioned above invalidates that assumption, which means that each
param needs to explicitly specify its index into var_ref_vals.
This fix changes action_data.var_ref_idx to an array of var ref
indexes to account for that.

where tracing an event from a full array of values would be
cumbersome. Those functions are synth_event_trace_start/end() and
synth_event_add_(next)_val().

Add functions used to generate synthetic event commands, built on top
of the dynevent_cmd interface.
synth_event_gen_cmd_start() is used to create a synthetic event
command using a variable arg list and
synth_event_gen_cmd_array_start() does the same thing but using an
array of field descriptors. synth_event_add_field(),
synth_event_add_field_str() and synth_event_add_fields() can be used
to add single fields one by one or as a group. Once all desired
fields are added, synth_event_gen_cmd_end() is used to actually
execute the command and create the event.
synth_event_create() does everything, including creating the event, in
a single call.

Add an interface used to build up dynamic event creation commands,
such as synthetic and kprobe events. Interfaces specific to those
particular types of events and others can be built on top of this
interface.
Command creation is started by first using the dynevent_cmd_init()
function to initialize the dynevent_cmd object. Following that, args
are appended and optionally checked by the dynevent_arg_add() and
dynevent_arg_pair_add() functions, which use objects representing
arguments and pairs of arguments, initialized respectively by
dynevent_arg_init() and dynevent_arg_pair_init(). Finally, once all
args have been successfully added, the command is finalized and
actually created using dynevent_create().
The code here for actually printing into the dyn_event->cmd buffer
using snprintf() etc was adapted from v4 of Masami's 'tracing/boot:
Add synthetic event support' patch.

trace_get_event_file() will find an event file in a given instance (if
instance is NULL, it assumes the top trace array) and return it,

applicable, so they won't go away while in use.
trace_put_event_file() does the matching release.

In the process of adding better error messages for sorting, I realized
that strsep was being used incorrectly and some of the error paths I
was expecting to be hit weren't and just fell through to the common
invalid key error case.
It also became obvious that for keyword assignments, it wasn't
necessary to save the full assignment and reparse it later, and having
a common empty-assignment check would also make more sense in terms of
error processing.
Change the code to fix these problems and simplify it for new error
message changes in a subsequent patch.

memory failure warnings can cause panics and fail fuzz testers that are

(perhaps this should be a kernel wide macro?), and use that for memory
failure issues. This should stop failing fuzz tests due to warnings.

The trace_array_get_by_name() creates a ftrace instance and
trace_array_put() is used to remove the reference. Even though the
trace_array_get_by_name() creates the instance, it also adds a reference
count to it, that prevents user space from removing it.
As the bootconfig just creates the instance on boot up, it should still be
used where it can be deleted by user space after boot. A trace_array_put()
is required to let that happen.
Also, change the documentation on trace_array_get_by_name() to make this not
be so confusing.

I noticed when trying to use the trace-cmd python interface that reading the raw
buffer wasn't working for kernel_stack events. This is because it uses a
stubbed version of __dynamic_array that doesn't do the __data_loc trick and
encode the length of the array into the field. Instead it just shows up as a
size of 0. So change this to __array and set the len to FTRACE_STACK_ENTRIES
since this is what we actually do in practice and matches how user_stack_trace
works.

Looking through old emails in my INBOX, I came across a patch from Luis
Henriques that attempted to fix a race of two stat tracers registering the
same stat trace (extremely unlikely, as this is done in the kernel, and
probably doesn't even exist). The submitted patch wasn't quite right as it
needed to deal with clean up a bit better (if two stat tracers were the
same, it would have the same files).
But to make the code cleaner, all we needed to do is to keep the
all_stat_sessions_mutex held for most of the registering function.

This changes the type of the array to trace_uprobe_filter

While working on a tool to convert SQL syntex into the histogram language of
the kernel, I discovered the following bug:
# echo 'first u64 start_time u64 end_time pid_t pid u64 delta' >> synthetic_events
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:start=common_timestamp' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:delta=common_timestamp-$start,start2=$start:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(first,$start2,common_timestamp,next_pid,$delta)' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
Would not display any histograms in the sched_switch histogram side.
But if I were to swap the location of
"delta=common_timestamp-$start" with "start2=$start"
Such that the last line had:
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:start2=$start,delta=common_timestamp-$start:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(first,$start2,common_timestamp,next_pid,$delta)' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
The histogram works as expected.
What I found out is that the expressions clear out the value once it is
resolved. As the variables are resolved in the order listed, when
processing:
delta=common_timestamp-$start
The $start is cleared. When it gets to "start2=$start", it errors out with
"unresolved symbol" (which is silent as this happens at the location of the
trace), and the histogram is dropped.
When processing the histogram for variable references, instead of adding a
new reference for a variable used twice, use the same reference. That way,
not only is it more efficient, but the order will no longer matter in
processing of the variables.
From Tom Zanussi:
"Just to clarify some more about what the problem was is that without
your patch, we would have two separate references to the same variable,
and during resolve_var_refs(), they'd both want to be resolved
separately, so in this case, since the first reference to start wasn't
part of an expression, it wouldn't get the read-once flag set, so would
be read normally, and then the second reference would do the read-once
read and also be read but using read-once. So everything worked and
you didn't see a problem:
from: start2=$start,delta=common_timestamp-$start
In the second case, when you switched them around, the first reference
would be resolved by doing the read-once, and following that the second
reference would try to resolve and see that the variable had already
been read, so failed as unset, which caused it to short-circuit out and
not do the trigger action to generate the synthetic event:
to: delta=common_timestamp-$start,start2=$start
With your patch, we only have the single resolution which happens
correctly the one time it's resolved, so this can't happen."

If syscall_enter_define_fields() is called on a system call with no
arguments, the return code variable "ret" will never get initialized.
Initialize it to zero.

trace_printk() is used to debug the kernel which includes the tracing
infrastructure. But because it writes to the ring buffer, and so does much
of the tracing infrastructure, the ring buffer's recursive detection will
drop writes to the ring buffer that is in the same context as the current
write is happening (it allows interrupts to write when normal context is
writing, but wont let normal context write while normal context is writing).
This can cause confusion and think that the code is where the trace_printk()
exists is not hit. To solve this, up the recursive nesting of the ring
buffer when trace_printk() is called before it writes to the buffer itself.
Note, this does make it dangerous to use trace_printk() in the ring buffer
code itself, because this basically disables the recursion protection of
trace_printk() buffer writes. But as trace_printk() is only used for
debugging, and if this does occur, the developer will see the cause real
quick (recursive blowing up of the stack). Thus the developer can deal with
that. But having trace_printk() silently ignored is a much bigger problem,
and disabling recursive protection is a small price to pay to fix it.

Commit 8b401f9ed2 ("bpf: implement bpf_send_signal() helper")
added helper bpf_send_signal() which permits bpf program to
send a signal to the current process. The signal may be
delivered to any threads in the process.
We found a use case where sending the signal to the current
thread is more preferable.
- A bpf program will collect the stack trace and then
send signal to the user application.
- The user application will add some thread specific
information to the just collected stack trace for
later analysis.
If bpf_send_signal() is used, user application will need
to check whether the thread receiving the signal matches
the thread collecting the stack by checking thread id.
If not, it will need to send signal to another thread
through pthread_kill().
This patch proposed a new helper bpf_send_signal_thread(),
which sends the signal to the thread corresponding to
the current kernel task. This way, user space is guaranteed that
bpf_program execution context and user space signal handling
context are the same thread.
