Commit ef1b808e3b ("bpf: Fix UAF via mismatching bpf_prog/attachment
RCU flavors") resolved a possible UAF issue in uprobes that attach
non-sleepable bpf prog by explicitly waiting for a tasks-trace-RCU grace
period. But, in the current implementation, synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace
is included within the mutex critical section, which increases the
length of the critical section and may affect performance. So let's move
out synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace from mutex CS.

Since POLLIN will not be flushed until the hist file is read, the user
needs to repeatedly read() and poll() on the hist file for monitoring the
event continuously. But the read() is somewhat redundant when the user is
only monitoring for event updates.
Add POLLPRI poll event on the hist file so the event returns when a
histogram is updated after open(), poll() or read(). Thus it is possible
to wait for the next event without having to issue a read().

Add poll syscall support on the `hist` file. The Waiter will be waken
up when the histogram is updated with POLLIN.
Currently, there is no way to wait for a specific event in userspace.
So user needs to peek the `trace` periodicaly, or wait on `trace_pipe`.
But it is not a good idea to peek at the `trace` for an event that
randomly happens. And `trace_pipe` is not coming back until a page is
filled with events.
This allows a user to wait for a specific event on the `hist` file. User
can set a histogram trigger on the event which they want to monitor
and poll() on its `hist` file. Since this poll() returns POLLIN, the next
poll() will return soon unless a read() happens on that hist file.
NOTE: To read the hist file again, you must set the file offset to 0,
but just for monitoring the event, you may not need to read the
histogram.

When the function tracing_set_tracer() switched over to using the guard()
infrastructure, it did not need to save the 'ret' variable and would just
return the value when an error arised, instead of setting ret and jumping
to an out label.
When CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT is enabled, it had code that expected the
"ret" variable to be initialized to zero and had set 'ret' while holding
an arch_spin_lock() (not used by guard), and then upon releasing the lock
it would check 'ret' and exit if set. But because ret was only set when an
error occurred while holding the locks, 'ret' would be used uninitialized
if there was no error. The code in the CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT block should
be self contain. Make sure 'ret' is also set when no error occurred.

Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Add needed READ_ONCE() around access to the fgraph array element
The updates to the fgraph array can happen when callbacks are
registered and unregistered. The __ftrace_return_to_handler() can
handle reading either the old value or the new value. But once it
reads that value it must stay consistent otherwise the check that
looks to see if the value is a stub may show false, but if the
compiler decides to re-read after that check, it can be true which
can cause the code to crash later on.
- Make function profiler use the top level ops for filtering again
When function graph became available for instances, its filter ops
became independent from the top level set_ftrace_filter. In the
process the function profiler received its own filter ops as well.
But the function profiler uses the top level set_ftrace_filter file
and does not have one of its own. In giving it its own filter ops, it
lost any user interface it once had. Make it use the top level
set_ftrace_filter file again. This fixes a regression.

ftrace: Fix function profiler's filtering functionality
fgraph: Add READ_ONCE() when accessing fgraph_array[]
Commit c132be2c4f ("function_graph: Have the instances use their own
ftrace_ops for filtering"), function profiler (enabled via
function_profile_enabled) has been showing statistics for all functions,
ignoring set_ftrace_filter settings.
While tracers are instantiated, the function profiler is not. Therefore, it
should use the global set_ftrace_filter for consistency. This patch
modifies the function profiler to use the global filter, fixing the
filtering functionality.

In __ftrace_return_to_handler(), a loop iterates over the fgraph_array[]
elements, which are fgraph_ops. The loop checks if an element is a
fgraph_stub to prevent using a fgraph_stub afterward.
However, if the compiler reloads fgraph_array[] after this check, it might
race with an update to fgraph_array[] that introduces a fgraph_stub. This
could result in the stub being processed, but the stub contains a null
"func_hash" field, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
To ensure that the gops compared against the fgraph_stub matches the gops
processed later, add a READ_ONCE(). A similar patch appears in commit
63a8dfb ("function_graph: Add READ_ONCE() when accessing fgraph_array[]").

In order to catch a common bug where a TRACE_EVENT() TP_fast_assign()
assigns an address of an allocated string to the ring buffer and then
references it in TP_printk(), which can be executed hours later when the
string is free, the function test_event_printk() runs on all events as
they are registered to make sure there's no unwanted dereferencing.
It calls process_string() to handle cases in TP_printk() format that has
"%s". It returns whether or not the string is safe. But it can have some
false positives.
For instance, xe_bo_move() has:
TP_printk("move_lacks_source:%s, migrate object %p [size %zu] from %s to %s device_id:%s",
__entry->move_lacks_source ? "yes" : "no", __entry->bo, __entry->size,
xe_mem_type_to_name[__entry->old_placement],
xe_mem_type_to_name[__entry->new_placement], __get_str(device_id))
Where the "%s" references into xe_mem_type_to_name[]. This is an array of
pointers that should be safe for the event to access. Instead of flagging
this as a bad reference, if a reference points to an array, where the
record field is the index, consider it safe.

dot2k suggests a list of changes to the kernel tree while adding a
monitor: edit tracepoints header, Makefile, Kconfig and moving the
monitor folder. Those changes can be easily run automatically.
Add a flag to dot2k to alter the kernel source.
The kernel source directory can be either assumed from the PWD, or from
the running kernel, if installed.
This feature works best if the kernel tree is a git repository, so that
its easier to make sure there are no unintended changes.
The main RV files (e.g. Makefile) have now a comment placeholder that
can be useful for manual editing (e.g. to know where to add new
monitors) and it is used by the script to append the required lines.
We also slightly adapt the file handling functions in dot2k: __open_file
is now called __read_file and also closes the file before returning the
content; __create_file is now a more general __write_file, we no longer
return on FileExistsError (not thrown while opening), a new
__create_file simply calls __write_file specifying the monitor folder in
the path.

While creating a new monitor in RV, besides generating code from dot2k,
there are a few manual steps which can be tedious and error prone, like
adding the tracepoints, makefile lines and kconfig.
This patch restructures the existing monitors to keep some files in the
monitor's folder itself, which can be automatically generated by future
versions of dot2k.
Monitors have now their own Kconfig and tracepoint snippets. For
simplicity, the main tracepoint definition, is moved to the RV
directory, it defines only the tracepoint classes and includes the
monitor-specific tracepoints, which reside in the monitor directory.
Tracepoints and Kconfig no longer need to be copied and adapted from
existing ones but only need to be included in the main files.
The Makefile remains untouched since there's little advantage in having
a separated Makefile for each monitor with a single line and including
it in the main RV Makefile.

The event_enable_func() function allocates the data descriptor early in
the function just to assign its data->count value via:
kstrtoul(number, 0, &data->count);
This makes the code more complex as there are several error paths before
the data descriptor is actually used. This means there needs to be a
goto out_free; to clean it up.
Use a local variable "count" to do the update and move the data allocation
just before it is used. This removes the "out_free" label as the data can
be freed on the failure path of where it is used.

- Do not use TP_printk() to boot mapped ring buffers

previous boot's memory map, it is unsafe to allow the TP_printk() to

the current kernel mapping if KASLR is active, and it can fault.

trace/ring-buffer: Do not use TP_printk() formatting for boot mapped buffers
ring-buffer: Fix overflow in __rb_map_vma
The TP_printk() of a TRACE_EVENT() is a generic printf format that any
developer can create for their event. It may include pointers to strings
and such. A boot mapped buffer may contain data from a previous kernel
where the strings addresses are different.
One solution is to copy the event content and update the pointers by the
recorded delta, but a simpler solution (for now) is to just use the
print_fields() function to print these events. The print_fields() function
just iterates the fields and prints them according to what type they are,
and ignores the TP_printk() format from the event itself.

looks like this:

will exist in the event on the ring buffer. If they do not, it issues
a WARN_ON() as it is a likely bug.
But this isn't the case for the strings that can be dereferenced with
"%s", as some trace events (notably RCU and some IPI events) save a
pointer to a static string in the ring buffer. As the string it points
to lives as long as the kernel is running, it is not a bug to
reference it, as it is guaranteed to be there when the event is read.
But it is also possible (and a common bug) to point to some allocated
string that could be freed before the trace event is read and the
dereference is to bad memory. This case requires a run time check.
The previous way to handle this was with trace_check_vprintf() that
would process the printf format piece by piece and send what it didn't
care about to vsnprintf() to handle arguments that were not strings.
This kept it from having to reimplement vsnprintf(). But it relied on
va_list implementation and for architectures that copied the va_list
and did not pass it by reference, it wasn't even possible to do this
check and it would be skipped. As 64bit x86 passed va_list by
reference, most events were tested and this kept out bugs where
strings would have been dereferenced after being freed.
Instead of relying on the implementation of va_list, extend the boot
up test_event_printk() function to validate all the "%s" strings that
can be validated at boot, and for the few events that point to strings
outside the ring buffer, flag both the event and the field that is
dereferenced as "needs_test". Then before the event is printed, a call
to ignore_event() is made, and if the event has the flag set, it
iterates all its fields and for every field that is to be tested, it
will read the pointer directly from the event in the ring buffer and
make sure that it is valid. If the pointer is not valid, it will print
a WARN_ON(), print out to the trace that the event has unsafe memory
and ignore the print format.
With this new update, the trace_check_vprintf() can be safely removed
and now all events can be verified regardless of architecture"
