tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk format

[ Upstream commit afd2627f727b89496d79a6b934a025fc916d4ded ]

tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk format

[ Upstream commit afd2627f727b89496d79a6b934a025fc916d4ded ]

The TP_printk() portion of a trace event is executed at the time a event
is read from the trace. This can happen seconds, minutes, hours, days,
months, years possibly later since the event was recorded. If the print
format contains a dereference to a string via "%s", and that string was
allocated, there's a chance that string could be freed before it is read
by the trace file.

To protect against such bugs, there are two functions that verify the
event. The first one is test_event_printk(), which is called when the
event is created. It reads the TP_printk() format as well as its arguments
to make sure nothing may be dereferencing a pointer that was not copied
into the ring buffer along with the event. If it is, it will trigger a
WARN_ON().

For strings that use "%s", it is not so easy. The string may not reside in
the ring buffer but may still be valid. Strings that are static and part
of the kernel proper which will not be freed for the life of the running
system, are safe to dereference. But to know if it is a pointer to a
static string or to something on the heap can not be determined until the
event is triggered.

This brings us to the second function that tests for the bad dereferencing
of strings, trace_check_vprintf(). It would walk through the printf format
looking for "%s", and when it finds it, it would validate that the pointer
is safe to read. If not, it would produces a WARN_ON() as well and write
into the ring buffer "[UNSAFE-MEMORY]".

The problem with this is how it used va_list to have vsnprintf() handle
all the cases that it didn't need to check. Instead of re-implementing
vsnprintf(), it would make a copy of the format up to the %s part, and
call vsnprintf() with the current va_list ap variable, where the ap would
then be ready to point at the string in question.

For architectures that passed va_list by reference this was possible. For
architectures that passed it by copy it was not. A test_can_verify()
function was used to differentiate between the two, and if it wasn't
possible, it would disable it.

Even for architectures where this was feasible, it was a stretch to rely
on such a method that is undocumented, and could cause issues later on
with new optimizations of the compiler.

Instead, the first function test_event_printk() was updated to look at
"%s" as well. If the "%s" argument is a pointer outside the event in the
ring buffer, it would find the field type of the event that is the problem
and mark the structure with a new flag called "needs_test". The event
itself will be marked by TRACE_EVENT_FL_TEST_STR to let it be known that
this event has a field that needs to be verified before the event can be
printed using the printf format.

When the event fields are created from the field type structure, the
fields would copy the field type's "needs_test" value.

Finally, before being printed, a new function ignore_event() is called
which will check if the event has the TEST_STR flag set (if not, it
returns false). If the flag is set, it then iterates through the events
fields looking for the ones that have the "needs_test" flag set.

Then it uses the offset field from the field structure to find the pointer
in the ring buffer event. It runs the tests to make sure that pointer is
safe to print and if not, it triggers the WARN_ON() and also adds to the
trace output that the event in question has an unsafe memory access.

The ignore_event() makes the trace_check_vprintf() obsolete so it is
removed.

tracing: Fix trace_check_vprintf() when tp_printk is used

[ Upstream commit 50a3242d84ee1625b0bfef29b95f935958dccfbe ]

When the tp_printk kernel command line is used, the trace events go
directly to printk(). It is still checked via the trace_check_vprintf()
function to make sure the pointers of the trace event are legit.

The addition of reading buffers from previous boots required adding a
delta between the addresses of the previous boot and the current boot so
that the pointers in the old buffer can still be used. But this required
adding a trace_array pointer to acquire the delta offsets.

The tp_printk code does not provide a trace_array (tr) pointer, so when
the offsets were examined, a NULL pointer dereference happened and the
kernel crashed.

If the trace_array does not exist, just default the delta offsets to zero,
as that also means the trace event is not being read from a previous boot.

tracing: Handle old buffer mappings for event strings and functions

[ Upstream commit 07714b4bb3f9800261c8b4b2f47e9010ed60979d ]

Use the saved text_delta and data_delta of a persistent memory mapped ring
buffer that was saved from a previous boot, and use the delta in the trace
event print output so that strings and functions show up normally.

That is, for an event like trace_kmalloc() that prints the callsite via
"%pS", if it used the address saved in the ring buffer it will not match
the function that was saved in the previous boot if the kernel remaps
itself between boots.

For RCU events that point to saved static strings where only the address
of the string is saved in the ring buffer, it too will be adjusted to
point to where the string is on the current boot.

seq_buf: Introduce DECLARE_SEQ_BUF and seq_buf_str()

[ Upstream commit dcc4e5728eeaeda84878ca0018758cff1abfca21 ]

Solve two ergonomic issues with struct seq_buf;

1) Too much boilerplate is required to initialize:

struct seq_buf s;
char buf[32];

seq_buf_init(s, buf, sizeof(buf));

Instead, we can build this directly on the stack. Provide
DECLARE_SEQ_BUF() macro to do this:

DECLARE_SEQ_BUF(s, 32);

2) %NUL termination is fragile and requires 2 steps to get a valid
C String (and is a layering violation exposing the "internals" of
seq_buf):

seq_buf_terminate(s);
do_something(s->buffer);

Instead, we can just return s->buffer directly after terminating it in
the refactored seq_buf_terminate(), now known as seq_buf_str():

do_something(seq_buf_str(s));

tracing/probes: Support $argN in return probe (kprobe and fprobe)

[ Upstream commit 25f00e40ce7953db197af3a59233711d154c9d80 ]

Support accessing $argN in the return probe events. This will help users to
record entry data in function return (exit) event for simplfing the function
entry/exit information in one event, and record the result values (e.g.
allocated object/initialized object) at function exit.

For example, if we have a function `int init_foo(struct foo *obj, int param)`
sometimes we want to check how `obj` is initialized. In such case, we can
define a new return event like below;

# echo 'r init_foo retval=$retval param=$arg2 field1=+0($arg1)' >> kprobe_events

Thus it records the function parameter `param` and its result `obj->field1`
(the dereference will be done in the function exit timing) value at once.

This also support fprobe, BTF args and'$arg*'. So if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
is enabled, we can trace both function parameters and the return value
by following command.

# echo 'f target_function%return $arg* $retval' >> dynamic_events

tracing: Have saved_cmdlines arrays all in one allocation

[ Upstream commit 0b18c852cc6fb8284ac0ab97e3e840974a6a8a64 ]

The saved_cmdlines have three arrays for mapping PIDs to COMMs:

- map_pid_to_cmdline[]
- map_cmdline_to_pid[]
- saved_cmdlines

The map_pid_to_cmdline[] is PID_MAX_DEFAULT in size and holds the index
into the other arrays. The map_cmdline_to_pid[] is a mapping back to the
full pid as it can be larger than PID_MAX_DEFAULT. And the
saved_cmdlines[] just holds the COMMs associated to the pids.

Currently the map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[] are allocated
together (in reality the saved_cmdlines is just in the memory of the
rounding of the allocation of the structure as it is always allocated in
powers of two). The map_cmdline_to_pid[] array is allocated separately.

Since the rounding to a power of two is rather large (it allows for 8000
elements in saved_cmdlines), also include the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array.
(This drops it to 6000 by default, which is still plenty for most use
cases). This saves even more memory as the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array
doesn't need to be allocated.

tracing: Use .flush() call to wake up readers

commit e5d7c1916562f0e856eb3d6f569629fcd535fed2 upstream.

The .release() function does not get called until all readers of a file
descriptor are finished.

If a thread is blocked on reading a file descriptor in ring_buffer_wait(),
and another thread closes the file descriptor, it will not wake up the
other thread as ring_buffer_wake_waiters() is called by .release(), and
that will not get called until the .read() is finished.

The issue originally showed up in trace-cmd, but the readers are actually
other processes with their own file descriptors. So calling close() would wake
up the other tasks because they are blocked on another descriptor then the
one that was closed(). But there's other wake ups that solve that issue.

When a thread is blocked on a read, it can still hang even when another
thread closed its descriptor.

This is what the .flush() callback is for. Have the .flush() wake up the
readers.

directory,

eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode

commit 5790b1fb3d672d9a1fe3881a7181dfdbe741568f upstream.

Instead of having a descriptor for every file represented in the eventfs
directory, only have the directory itself represented. Change the API to
send in a list of entries that represent all the files in the directory
(but not other directories). The entry list contains a name and a callback
function that will be used to create the files when they are accessed.

struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_events_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent,
const struct eventfs_entry *entries,
int size, void *data);

is used for the top level eventfs directory, and returns an eventfs_inode
that will be used by:

struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct eventfs_inode *parent,
const struct eventfs_entry *entries,
int size, void *data);

where both of the above take an array of struct eventfs_entry entries for
every file that is in the directory.

The entries are defined by:

typedef int (*eventfs_callback)(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data,
const struct file_operations **fops);

struct eventfs_entry {
const char *name;
eventfs_callback callback;
};

Where the name is the name of the file and the callback gets called when
the file is being created. The callback passes in the name (in case the
same callback is used for multiple files), a pointer to the mode, data and
fops. The data will be pointing to the data that was passed in
eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir() but may be overridden
to point to something else, as it will be used to point to the
inode->i_private that is created. The information passed back from the
callback is used to create the dentry/inode.

If the callback fills the data and the file should be created, it must
return a positive number. On zero or negative, the file is ignored.

This logic may also be used as a prototype to convert entire pseudo file
systems into just-in-time allocation.

The "show_events_dentry" file has been updated to show the directories,
and any files they have.

With just the eventfs_file allocations:

tracing: Inform kmemleak of saved_cmdlines allocation

commit 2394ac4145ea91b92271e675a09af2a9ea6840b7 upstream.

The allocation of the struct saved_cmdlines_buffer structure changed from:

s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s), GFP_KERNEL);
s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL);

to:

orig_size = sizeof(*s) + val * TASK_COMM_LEN;
order = get_order(orig_size);
size = 1 << (order + PAGE_SHIFT);
page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, order);
if (!page)
return NULL;

s = page_address(page);
memset(s, 0, sizeof(*s));

s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL);

Where that s->saved_cmdlines allocation looks to be a dangling allocation
to kmemleak. That's because kmemleak only keeps track of kmalloc()
allocations. For allocations that use page_alloc() directly, the kmemleak
needs to be explicitly informed about it.

Add kmemleak_alloc() and kmemleak_free() around the page allocation so
that it doesn't give the following false positive:

tracing: Fix wasted memory in saved_cmdlines logic

commit 44dc5c41b5b1267d4dd037d26afc0c4d3a568acb upstream.

While looking at improving the saved_cmdlines cache I found a huge amount
of wasted memory that should be used for the cmdlines.

The tracing data saves pids during the trace. At sched switch, if a trace
occurred, it will save the comm of the task that did the trace. This is
saved in a "cache" that maps pids to comms and exposed to user space via
the /sys/kernel/tracing/saved_cmdlines file. Currently it only caches by
default 128 comms.

The structure that uses this creates an array to store the pids using
PID_MAX_DEFAULT (which is usually set to 32768). This causes the structure
to be of the size of 131104 bytes on 64 bit machines.

In hex: 131104 = 0x20020, and since the kernel allocates generic memory in
powers of two, the kernel would allocate 0x40000 or 262144 bytes to store
this structure. That leaves 131040 bytes of wasted space.

Worse, the structure points to an allocated array to store the comm names,
which is 16 bytes times the amount of names to save (currently 128), which
is 2048 bytes. Instead of allocating a separate array, make the structure
end with a variable length string and use the extra space for that.

This is similar to a recommendation that Linus had made about eventfs_inode names:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240130190355.11486-5-torvalds@linux-foundation.org/

Instead of allocating a separate string array to hold the saved comms,
have the structure end with: char saved_cmdlines[]; and round up to the
next power of two over sizeof(struct saved_cmdline_buffers) + num_cmdlines * TASK_COMM_LEN
It will use this extra space for the saved_cmdline portion.

Now, instead of saving only 128 comms by default, by using this wasted
space at the end of the structure it can save over 8000 comms and even
saves space by removing the need for allocating the other array.

tracing: Fix uaf issue when open the hist or hist_debug file

[ Upstream commit 1cc111b9cddc71ce161cd388f11f0e9048edffdb ]

KASAN report following issue. The root cause is when opening 'hist'
file of an instance and accessing 'trace_event_file' in hist_show(),
but 'trace_event_file' has been freed due to the instance being removed.
'hist_debug' file has the same problem. To fix it, call
tracing_{open,release}_file_tr() in file_operations callback to have
the ref count and avoid 'trace_event_file' being freed.
