- Free field in error path of synthetic event parse In __create_synth_event() the field was allocated but was not freed in the error path. - Fix ring_buffer_event_length() on 8 byte aligned architectures On architectures with CONFIG_HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS set to y, the ring_buffer_event_length() may return the wrong size. This is because archs with that config set will always use the "big event meta header" as that is 8 bytes keeping the payload 8 bytes aligned, even when a 4 byte header could hold the size of the event. But ring_buffer_event_length() doesn't take this into account and only subtracts 4 bytes for the meta header in the length when it should have subtracted 8 bytes. - Have osnoise wait for a full rcu synchronization on unregister osnoise_unregister_instance() used to call synchronize_rcu() before freeing its copy of the instance but was switched to kfree_rcu(). The osniose tracer has code that traverses the instances that it uses, and inst is just a pointer to that instance. By using kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu(), the instance that the inst pointer is pointing to can be freed while the osnoise code is still referencing it. That is, a rmdir on an instance first unregisters the tracer. When the unregister finishes, the rmdir expects that the tracer is finished with the instance that it is using. By putting back the synchronize_rcu() in osnoise_unregister_instance() the unregistering of osnoise will now return when all the users of the instance have finished. - Remove an unused setting of "ret" in tracing_set_tracer() - Fix ring_buffer_read_page() copying events The commit that changed ring_buffer_read_page() to show dropped events from the buffer itself, split the "commit" variable between the commit value (with flags) and "size" that holds the size of the sub-buffer. A cut and paste error changed the test of the reading from checking the size of the buffer to the size of the event causing reads to only read one event at a time. - Make tracepoint_printk a static variable When the tracing sysctl knobs were move from sysctl.c to trace.c, the variable tracepoint_printk no longer needed to be global. Make it static. - Fix some typos - Fix NULL pointer dereference in func_set_flag() The flags update of the function tracer first checks if the value of the flag is the same and exits if they are, and then it checks if the current tracer is the function tracer and exits if it isn't. The problem is that these checks need to be in a reversed order, as if the tracer isn't the function tracer, then the flag being checked may not exist. Reverse the order of these checks. - Fix ufs core trace events to not dereference a pointer in TP_printk() The TP_printk() part of the TRACE_EVENT() macro is called when the user reads the "trace" file. This can be seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and even months after the data was recorded into the ring buffer. Thus, saving a pointer to an object into the ring buffer and then dereferencing it from TP_printk() can cause harm as the object the pointer is pointing to may no longer exist. Fix all the trace events in ufs core to save the device name in the ring buffer instead of dereferencing the device descriptor from TP_printk(). - Prevent out-of-bound reads in glob matching of trace events The filter logic of events allows simple glob logic to add wild cards to filter on strings. But some events have fields that may not have a terminating 'nul' character. This may cause the glob matching to go beyond the string. Change the logic to always pass in the length of the field that is being matched. - Add no-rcu-check version of trace_##event##_enabled() The trace_##event##_enabled() usually wraps trace events to do extra work that is only needed when the trace event is enabled. But this can hide events that are placed in locations where RCU is not watching, and can make lockdep not see these bugs when the event is not enabled. The trace_##event##_enabled() was updated to always test to make sure RCU is watching to catch locations that may call events without RCU being active. This caused a false positive for the irq_disabled() and related events. As that use trace_irq_disabled_enabled() to force RCU to be watching when the event is enabled via the ct_irq_enter() function, calls the event, and then calls ct_irq_exit() to put RCU back to its original state. The trace_irq_disabled_enabled() should not trigger a warning when RCU is not watching because the code within its block handles the case properly. Make a __trace_##event##_enabled() version for this event to use that doesn't check RCU is watching as it handles the case when it isn't. - Fix use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup() When the enabler is removed from the link list, it is freed immediately. But it is protected via RCU and needs to be freed after an RCU grace period. Use queue_rcu_work() so that the event_mutex can also be taken as user_event_put() takes the mutex on the last reference is released. - Free type string in error path of parse_synth_field() There's an error path in parse_synth_field() where the allocated type string is not freed. - Add selftest that tests deferred event teardown - Fix leak in error path of trace_remote_alloc_buffer() If page allocation fails, the desc->nr_cpus is not incremented for the current CPU and the allocations done for it are not freed. - Fix allocation length in trace_remote_alloc_buffer() The logic to calculate the struct_len was doing a double count and setting the value too large. Calculate the size upfront to fix the error and simplify the logic. - Fix sparse CPU masks in ring_buffer_desc() If there are sparse CPUs (gaps in the numbering), the ring_buffer_desc() will fail as it tests the CPU number against the number of CPUs that are used. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJIBAABCgAyFiEEXtmkj8VMCiLR0IBM68Js21pW3nMFAmpTv/cUHHJvc3RlZHRA Z29vZG1pcy5vcmcACgkQ68Js21pW3nN80w/9HEbliUUrJVNw8QCY8BmeBEzfCRhZ 2CeDzTg+UrLMb2BtqUhA9EjQnRPawe8mPxAfpZ750SdFnCkRhbfNwYmKar3M/8iW y2Bhsvd3Hz6nRiHvKhG/1RkflgKOWLYf/TQSByKlakYLV8t4uffa0fe0N0zcnikK XPGrhrTeRDJ7s94vb1u7p7mSSp2iy4ZhfXbagk966X3I4zvseIYNn5IIzyM3IIPT M7mE60SxvgSRz0QqTJqihmqjXYSeNOQ2iU18wnvp4QfcT0IVuLKm027JnK/YpjWS ZasMNGzO1kp5uo6hkXLrMlT3LjaNEMFTGogs1m9o9auhbMf443LK8GtZ1m1rwnTG cXn1PocBevQIaXWPbnxMrSwIuN7YMUqjgX6SCxbXpDxSSuE5i/x1VmE08CjxnSm6 TdAdom9bE44FvMgaAz9+KhIUgm013c2rFDNiFroYtfkma5FqpfnfglA4/TkJvexY e2L75cR3lrDEDiXXMQDndmvxNMhppwNlAH3mOZLiaCmGyFQFHhgAaG250K2Y6a5K HtIfJkT6RQ3rWifV0E0+zlyRiOrvVCCA8WwNArWb1dTWrVU86Hr7q58jAq9p0Yrz FnhpjdE3eWoUHZ5f28AMR2k5lMG3o6mOGT55JyUVCLw+rPSG5358UIg2xZiEo22k RFlT26FFHbMW50Y= =+//w -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v7.2-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Free field in error path of synthetic event parse In __create_synth_event() the field was allocated but was not freed in the error path - Fix ring_buffer_event_length() on 8 byte aligned architectures On architectures with CONFIG_HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS set to y, the ring_buffer_event_length() may return the wrong size.
