The check on field-&gt;field being true is handled as the first check
on the cascaded if statement, so the later checks on field-&gt;field
are redundant because this clause has already been handled. Since
this later check is redundant, just remove it.

<title>tracing: Have format file honor EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED</title>

<id>b1560408692cd0ab0370cfbe9deb03ce97ab3f6d</id>
<content type='text'>
When eventfs was introduced, special care had to be done to coordinate the
freeing of the file meta data with the files that are exposed to user
space. The file meta data would have a ref count that is set when the file
is created and would be decremented and freed after the last user that
opened the file closed it. When the file meta data was to be freed, it
would set a flag (EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED) to denote that the file is freed,
and any new references made (like new opens or reads) would fail as it is
marked freed. This allowed other meta data to be freed after this flag was
set (under the event_mutex).

All the files that were dynamically created in the events directory had a
pointer to the file meta data and would call event_release() when the last
reference to the user space file was closed. This would be the time that it
is safe to free the file meta data.

A shortcut was made for the "format" file. It's i_private would point to
the "call" entry directly and not point to the file's meta data. This is
because all format files are the same for the same "call", so it was
thought there was no reason to differentiate them.  The other files
maintain state (like the "enable", "trigger", etc). But this meant if the
file were to disappear, the "format" file would be unaware of it.

This caused a race that could be trigger via the user_events test (that
would create dynamic events and free them), and running a loop that would
read the user_events format files:

In one console run:

 # cd tools/testing/selftests/user_events
 # while true; do ./ftrace_test; done

And in another console run:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
 # while true; do cat events/user_events/__test_event/format; done 2&gt;/dev/null

With KASAN memory checking, it would trigger a use-after-free bug report
(which was a real bug). This was because the format file was not checking
the file's meta data flag "EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED", so it would access the
event that the file meta data pointed to after the event was freed.

After inspection, there are other locations that were found to not check
the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag when accessing the trace_event_file. Add a
new helper function: event_file_file() that will make sure that the
event_mutex is held, and will return NULL if the trace_event_file has the
EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag set. Have the first reference of the struct file
pointer use event_file_file() and check for NULL. Later uses can still use
the event_file_data() helper function if the event_mutex is still held and
was not released since the event_file_file() call.

<title>tracing histograms: Simplify parse_actions() function</title>

The parse_actions() function uses 'len = str_has_prefix()' to test which
action is in the string being parsed. But then it goes and repeats the
logic for each different action. This logic can be simplified and
duplicate code can be removed as 'len' contains the length of the found
prefix which should be used for all actions.

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.

Commit 6018b585e8c6 ("tracing/histograms: Add histograms to hist_vars if
they have referenced variables") added a check to fail histogram creation
if save_hist_vars() failed to add histogram to hist_vars list. But the
commit failed to set ret to failed return code before jumping to
unregister histogram, fix it.

Hist triggers can have referenced variables without having direct
variables fields. This can be the case if referenced variables are added
for trigger actions. In this case the newly added references will not
have field variables. Not taking such referenced variables into
consideration can result in a bug where it would be possible to remove
hist trigger with variables being refenced. This will result in a bug
that is easily reproducable like so

$ cd /sys/kernel/tracing
$ echo 'synthetic_sys_enter char[] comm; long id' &gt;&gt; synthetic_events
$ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' &gt;&gt; events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
$ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:onmatch(raw_syscalls.sys_enter).synthetic_sys_enter($comm, id)' &gt;&gt; events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
$ echo '!hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' &gt;&gt; events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger

We hit the bug because when second hist trigger has was created
has_hist_vars() returned false because hist trigger did not have
variables. As a result of that save_hist_vars() was not called to add
the trigger to trace_array-&gt;hist_vars. Later on when we attempted to
remove the first histogram find_any_var_ref() failed to detect it is
being used because it did not find the second trigger in hist_vars list.

With this change we wait until trigger actions are created so we can take
into consideration if hist trigger has variable references. Also, now we
check the return value of save_hist_vars() and fail trigger creation if
save_hist_vars() fails.

We hit the bug because when second hist trigger has was created
has_hist_vars() returned false because hist trigger did not have
variables. As a result of that save_hist_vars() was not called to add
the trigger to trace_array-&gt;hist_vars. Later on when we attempted to
remove the first histogram find_any_var_ref() failed to detect it is
being used because it did not find the second trigger in hist_vars list.

With this change we wait until trigger actions are created so we can take
into consideration if hist trigger has variable references. Also, now we
check the return value of save_hist_vars() and fail trigger creation if
save_hist_vars() fails.

The histogram and synthetic events can use a pseudo event called
"stacktrace" that will create a stacktrace at the time of the event and
use it just like it was a normal field. We have other pseudo events such
as "common_cpu" and "common_timestamp". To stay consistent with that,
convert "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". As this was used in older
kernels, to keep backward compatibility, this will act just like
"common_cpu" did with "cpu". That is, "cpu" will be the same as
"common_cpu" unless the event has a "cpu" field. In which case, the
event's field is used. The same is true with "stacktrace".

Also update the documentation to reflect this change.
