- Fix NULL dereference when copying histogram field variable If event_hist_trigger_parse() creates an action that uses one of pseudo fields for its keys, the hist_data field element will have a NULL for its field member. When looking to match that key, the lookup uses key_field->field->name which will dereference a NULL pointer. Instead use the helper function that handles such cases: expr_field_str(). - Take the trace_types_lock when dropping the buffer_meta reference The tracing_buffer_meta_open() error return drops the trace_array reference with __trace_array_put() instead of trace_array_put() where the former doesn't take the lock and the latter does. - Fix NULL pointer dereference when reading per_cpu/cpuN/buffer_meta These files are created for every possible CPU. But it only contains data for CPUs that have come online. If one is read for a CPU that hasn't come online yet, it triggers a NULL pointer dereference. Have reading of CPUs that have not come on line yet return -ENODEV. - Fix an out-of-bounds shift in the log2 histogram modifier Histograms can take a log2 modifier to have the buckets defined by log2 increments. If a shift is greater than ULONG_MAX or above 2^63, the key falls into a lower order bucket. Use order_base_2() instead of "ilog2(n - 1) + 1" to have all overflowed keys go into the top bucket. - Fix the persistent ring buffer rb_meta_subbuf_idx() accounting The algorithm for finding the index of a sub-buffer in a persistent ring buffer buffer did not take into account the meta data at the beginning of the buffer causing the wrong index to be returned. As rb_subbufs_from_meta() does the proper accounting to find the first sub-buffer, use that function instead of repeating the logic (incorrectly) and make the calculations based off of that. - Fix the symbol name checks for the remote buffer code The remote ring buffer has a build time check to make sure its not using any code that will not be in the hypervisor. For various architectures, there has been false positive reports from this checker. Fix them. - Fix false warning in ring_buffer_map_get_reader() There is a WARN_ON() after rb_get_reader_page() if no reader is returned. But there are legitimate cases where this can happen. Remove the WARN_ON() and also a check that covers one of the legitimate cases that tries to exit out early. There's no need for the check if it just simply allows the return of NULL from rb_get_reader_page(). - Fix the ignored return value from resize_buffer_duplicate_size() Some clean up of the code in tracing_snapshot_write() removed checking the return value of resize_buffer_duplicate_size() and if that failed it would not be detected. - Fix the histogram timestamps for buffered events The histogram timestamps are taken from the events that are recorded. It currently reads ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() but if the event is buffered it does not read it properly. Use tracing_event_time_stamp() which handles both buffered and normal events. - Do not initialize tracefs if tracing is disabled at boot If tracing fails to allocate or some other error is detected, tracing_disabled is set. Do not initialize tracefs in this case as it may expect data to be initialized but is not. - Free eventfs inode after an RCU grace period Currently eventfs_inodes are freed after a SRCU grace period as the iterations in the code use SRCU. There are locations that the inode may still be accessed from the VFS that uses RCU which does not have the same synchronization as SRCU. Add an RCU wait before free eventfs inodes. - Do not fail persistent and remote buffers under memory pressure As persistent and remote buffers have their own pre-allocated memory, there's no reason to check how much memory is available before created them. By checking the memory pressure, these buffers may fail to be created even though their memory is already present. - Account for subbuffer size when checking how much memory is available Before allocating a ring buffer, the size is checked against the current memory pressure of the system. But it assumes every sub-buffer is of page size. This is no longer the case. Use the actual sub-buffer size when calculating how much memory will be used. - Reject non-stack fields for synthetic stacktrace fields Stack traces are special fields and the checks currently do not do enough to make sure that the fields being processed as stack traces are indeed stack traces. Update the logic to properly detect what is or is not a stack trace. - Fix a crash in print_graph_function_event() When a tracer does not define static or default flags the tr->current_trace_flags is set to NULL. If the ring buffer is not cleared when switching tracers, the previous tracers events could be read. The function_graph entries will dereference the tr->current_trace_flags and cause a crash. Set the tr->current_trace_flags to a empty set of flags to prevent it from being NULL. - Separate tracing filter predicate count from allocation The amount allocated for the predicate program is the number of predicates defined plus two for adding "true" and "false" at the end. The nr_preds is incremented by two to accommodate the booleans but is then used as the limit check for number of predicates. This is incorrect as it is now two higher than what is expected. Use a separate variable for the size of the predicate array. - Fix the filter operator stack check The operator stack increments the pointer and then writes the content onto the stack. The check for overflow compared the current pointer to see if it was greater than the stack size before doing so. This is an off by 2 error as the write will be at the size - 1 and the compare is done before the increment. Adjust the check accordingly. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYKADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCatItoRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qmfsAP9XviDyrl49/PBpuanB2qQzlMGqYQlb CwISmzgWoO1jKQEArNiSpKsIdPLfSJSLfIHAGxAZfmT42SugA4M5jqhW3Qc= =7KiP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v7.3-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix NULL dereference when copying histogram field variable If event_hist_trigger_parse() creates an action that uses one of pseudo fields for its keys, the hist_data field element will have a NULL for its field member.
