2013-09-07workqueue: cond_resched() after processing each work itemTejun Heo
commit b22ce2785d97423846206cceec4efee0c4afd980 upstream. If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU. This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock. Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to stop_machine. Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

2013-09-07timer_list: correct the iterator for timer_listNathan Zimmer
commit 84a78a6504f5c5394a8e558702e5b54131f01d14 upstream. Correct an issue with /proc/timer_list reported by Holger. When reading from the proc file with a sufficiently small buffer, 2k so not really that small, there was one could get hung trying to read the file a chunk at a time. The timer_list_start function failed to account for the possibility that the offset was adjusted outside the timer_list_next.

2013-08-29ftrace: Check module functions being traced on reloadSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
commit 8c4f3c3fa9681dc549cd35419b259496082fef8b upstream. There's been a nasty bug that would show up and not give much info. The bug displayed the following warning: WARNING: at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:1529 __ftrace_hash_rec_update+0x1e3/0x230() Pid: 20903, comm: bash Tainted: G O 3.6.11+ #38405.trunk Call Trace: [<ffffffff8103e5ff>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffff8103e65a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff810c2ee3>] __ftrace_hash_rec_update+0x1e3/0x230 [<ffffffff810c4f28>] ftrace_hash_move+0x28/0x1d0 [<ffffffff811401cc>] ? kfree+0x2c/0x110 [<ffffffff810c68ee>] ftrace_regex_release+0x8e/0x150 [<ffffffff81149f1e>] __fput+0xae/0x220 [<ffffffff8114a09e>] ____fput+0xe/0x10 [<ffffffff8105fa22>] task_work_run+0x72/0x90 [<ffffffff810028ec>] do_notify_resume+0x6c/0xc0 [<ffffffff8126596e>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x3a/0x3c [<ffffffff815c0f88>] int_signal+0x12/0x17 ---[ end trace 793179526ee09b2c ]--- It was finally narrowed down to unloading a module that was being traced. It was actually more than that. When functions are being traced, there's a table of all functions that have a ref count of the number of active tracers attached to that function. When a function trace callback is registered to a function, the function's record ref count is incremented. When it is unregistered, the function's record ref count is decremented. If an inconsistency is detected (ref count goes below zero) the above warning is shown and the function tracing is permanently disabled until reboot. The ftrace callback ops holds a hash of functions that it filters on (and/or filters off). If the hash is empty, the default means to filter all functions (for the filter_hash) or to disable no functions (for the notrace_hash). When a module is unloaded, it frees the function records that represent the module functions. These records exist on their own pages, that is function records for one module will not exist on the same page as function records for other modules or even the core kernel. Now when a module unloads, the records that represents its functions are freed. When the module is loaded again, the records are recreated with a default ref count of zero (unless there's a callback that traces all functions, then they will also be traced, and the ref count will be incremented). The problem is that if an ftrace callback hash includes functions of the module being unloaded, those hash entries will not be removed. If the module is reloaded in the same location, the hash entries still point to the functions of the module but the module's ref counts do not reflect that. With the help of Steve and Joern, we found a reproducer: Using uinput module and uinput_release function. cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing modprobe uinput echo uinput_release > set_ftrace_filter echo function > current_tracer rmmod uinput modprobe uinput # check /proc/modules to see if loaded in same addr, otherwise try again echo nop > current_tracer [BOOM] The above loads the uinput module, which creates a table of functions that can be traced within the module. We add uinput_release to the filter_hash to trace just that function. Enable function tracincg, which increments the ref count of the record associated to uinput_release. Remove uinput, which frees the records including the one that represents uinput_release. Load the uinput module again (and make sure it's at the same address). This recreates the function records all with a ref count of zero, including uinput_release. Disable function tracing, which will decrement the ref count for uinput_release which is now zero because of the module removal and reload, and we have a mismatch (below zero ref count). The solution is to check all currently tracing ftrace callbacks to see if any are tracing any of the module's functions when a module is loaded (it already does that with callbacks that trace all functions). If a callback happens to have a module function being traced, it increments that records ref count and starts tracing that function. There may be a strange side effect with this, where tracing module functions on unload and then reloading a new module may have that new module's functions being traced. This may be something that confuses the user, but it's not a big deal. Another approach is to disable all callback hashes on module unload, but this leaves some ftrace callbacks that may not be registered, but can still have hashes tracing the module's function where ftrace doesn't know about it. That situation can cause the same bug. This solution solves that case too. Another benefit of this solution, is it is possible to trace a module's function on unload and load.

2013-08-29tracing/uprobes: Fail to unregister if probe event files are in useSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
commit c6c2401d8bbaf9edc189b4c35a8cb2780b8b988e upstream. Uprobes suffer the same problem that kprobes have. There's a race between writing to the "enable" file and removing the probe. The probe checks for it being in use and if it is not, goes about deleting the probe and the event that represents it. But the problem with that is, after it checks if it is in use it can be enabled, and the deletion of the event (access to the probe) will fail, as it is in use. But the uprobe will still be deleted. This is a problem as the event can reference the uprobe that was deleted. The fix is to remove the event first, and check to make sure the event removal succeeds. Then it is safe to remove the probe. When the event exists, either ftrace or perf can enable the probe and prevent the event from being removed.

commit 40c32592668b727cbfcf7b1c0567f581bd62a5e4 upstream. When a probe is being removed, it cleans up the event files that correspond to the probe. But there is a race between writing to one of these files and deleting the probe. This is especially true for the "enable" file.

2013-08-29tracing: trace_remove_event_call() should fail if call/file is in useOleg Nesterov
commit 2816c551c796ec14620325b2c9ed75b9979d3125 upstream. Change trace_remove_event_call(call) to return the error if this call is active. This is what the callers assume but can't verify outside of the tracing locks. Both trace_kprobe.c/trace_uprobe.c need the additional changes, unregister_trace_probe() should abort if trace_remove_event_call() fails. The caller is going to free this call/file so we must ensure that nobody can use them after trace_remove_event_call() succeeds. debugfs should be fine after the previous changes and event_remove() does TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER, but still there are 2 reasons why we need the additional checks: - There could be a perf_event(s) attached to this tp_event, so the patch checks ->perf_refcount. - TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER can be suppressed by FTRACE_EVENT_FL_SOFT_MODE, so we simply check FTRACE_EVENT_FL_ENABLED protected by event_mutex.

2013-08-29tracing: Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear "d_subdirs"->i_privateOleg Nesterov
commit bf682c3159c4d298d1126a56793ed3f5e80395f7 upstream. Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear ->i_private for every file we are going to remove. We need to check file->dir != NULL because event_create_dir() can fail. debugfs_remove_recursive(NULL) is fine but the patch moves it under the same check anyway for readability. spin_lock(d_lock) and "d_inode != NULL" check are not needed afaics, but I do not understand this code enough. tracing_open_generic_file() and tracing_release_generic_file() can go away, ftrace_enable_fops and ftrace_event_filter_fops() use tracing_open_generic() but only to check tracing_disabled. This fixes all races with event_remove() or instance_delete(). f_op->read/write/whatever can never use the freed file/call, all event/* files were changed to check and use ->i_private under event_mutex. Note: this doesn't not fix other problems, event_remove() can destroy the active ftrace_event_call, we need more changes but those changes are completely orthogonal.

2013-08-29ftrace: Add check for NULL regs if ops has SAVE_REGS setSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
commit 195a8afc7ac962f8da795549fe38e825f1372b0d upstream. If a ftrace ops is registered with the SAVE_REGS flag set, and there's already a ops registered to one of its functions but without the SAVE_REGS flag, there's a small race window where the SAVE_REGS ops gets added to the list of callbacks to call for that function before the callback trampoline gets set to save the regs. The problem is, the function is not currently saving regs, which opens a small race window where the ops that is expecting regs to be passed to it, wont. This can cause a crash if the callback were to reference the regs, as the SAVE_REGS guarantees that regs will be set. To fix this, we add a check in the loop case where it checks if the ops has the SAVE_REGS flag set, and if so, it will ignore it if regs is not set.

Change debugfs_create_file("trace_pipe_raw", data) caller to pass "data = tr", tracing_buffers_open() can use tracing_get_cpu(). Change debugfs_create_file("snapshot_raw_fops", data) caller too, this file uses tracing_buffers_open/release.

2013-08-29tracing: Introduce trace_create_cpu_file() and tracing_get_cpu()Oleg Nesterov
commit 649e9c70da6bfbeb563193a35d3424a5aa7c0d38 upstream. Every "file_operations" used by tracing_init_debugfs_percpu is buggy. f_op->open/etc does: 1. struct trace_cpu *tc = inode->i_private; struct trace_array *tr = tc->tr; 2. trace_array_get(tr) or fail; 3. do_something(tc); But tc (and tr) can be already freed before trace_array_get() is called. And it doesn't matter whether this file is per-cpu or it was created by init_tracer_debugfs(), free_percpu() or kfree() are equally bad. Note that even 1. is not safe, the freed memory can be unmapped. But even if it was safe trace_array_get() can wrongly succeed if we also race with the next new_instance_create() which can re-allocate the same tr, or tc was overwritten and ->tr points to the valid tr. In this case 3. uses the freed/reused memory. Add the new trivial helper, trace_create_cpu_file() which simply calls trace_create_file() and encodes "cpu" in "struct inode". Another helper, tracing_get_cpu() will be used to read cpu_nr-or-RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS. The patch abuses ->i_cdev to encode the number, it is never used unless the file is S_ISCHR(). But we could use something else, say, i_bytes or even ->d_fsdata. In any case this hack is hidden inside these 2 helpers, it would be trivial to change them if needed. This patch only changes tracing_init_debugfs_percpu() to use the new trace_create_cpu_file(), the next patches will change file_operations. Note: tracing_get_cpu(inode) is always safe but you can't trust the result unless trace_array_get() was called, without trace_types_lock which acts as a barrier it can wrongly return RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

commit a232e270dcb55a70ad3241bc6fc160fd9b5c9e6c upstream. Wait for disabling all running kprobe handlers when a kprobe event is disabled, since the caller, trace_remove_event_call() supposes that a removing event is disabled completely by disabling the event. With this change, ftrace can ensure that there is no running event handlers after disabling it.

2013-08-20PM / QoS: Fix workqueue deadlock when using pm_qos_update_request_timeout()Stephen Boyd
commit 40fea92ffb5fa0ef26d10ae0fe5688bc8e61c791 upstream. pm_qos_update_request_timeout() updates a qos and then schedules a delayed work item to bring the qos back down to the default after the timeout. When the work item runs, pm_qos_work_fn() will call pm_qos_update_request() and deadlock because it tries to cancel itself via cancel_delayed_work_sync(). Future callers of that qos will also hang waiting to cancel the work that is canceling itself. Let's extract the little bit of code that does the real work of pm_qos_update_request() and call it from the work function so that we don't deadlock. Before ed1ac6e (PM: don't use [delayed_]work_pending()) this didn't happen because the work function wouldn't try to cancel itself.

Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that was introduced in commit f3268edbe6fe ("microblaze: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone"). The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the 4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size. The incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd slot. This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc code will work correctly.

Change this to pass the correct per-instance buffer - ftrace_now() is used to set buf->time_start in tracing_reset_online_cpus(). This was incorrect because ftrace_now() used the global buffer's clock to return the current time. Change this to use buffer_ftrace_now() which returns the current time for the correct per-instance buffer.

2013-08-14tracing: Use flag buffer_disabled for irqsoff tracerSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
commit 10246fa35d4ffdfe472185d4cbf9c2dfd9a9f023 upstream. If the ring buffer is disabled and the irqsoff tracer records a trace it will clear out its buffer and lose the data it had previously recorded. Currently there's a callback when writing to the tracing_of file, but if tracing is disabled via the function tracer trigger, it will not inform the irqsoff tracer to stop recording. By using the "mirror" flag (buffer_disabled) in the trace_array, that keeps track of the status of the trace_array's buffer, it gives the irqsoff tracer a fast way to know if it should record a new trace or not. The flag may be a little behind the real state of the buffer, but it should not affect the trace too much. It's more important for the irqsoff tracer to be fast.

commit ed5467da0e369e65b247b99eb6403cb79172bcda upstream. tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains a comment about that, but it doesn't help. The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed. The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask. Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed. The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

However, the caller expects that it doesn't need to take care of new_cred if unshare_userns() fails. We could change the single caller, sys_unshare(), but I think it would be more clean to avoid the side effects on failure, so with this patch unshare_userns() does put_cred() itself and initializes *new_cred only if create_user_ns() succeeeds.

2013-08-11Revert "cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat mode"Rafael J. Wysocki
commit 148519120c6d1f19ad53349683aeae9f228b0b8d upstream. Revert commit 69a37bea (cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for repeat mode), because it has been identified as the source of a significant performance regression in v3.8 and later as explained by Jeremy Eder: We believe we've identified a particular commit to the cpuidle code that seems to be impacting performance of variety of workloads. The simplest way to reproduce is using netperf TCP_RR test, so we're using that, on a pair of Sandy Bridge based servers. We also have data from a large database setup where performance is also measurably/positively impacted, though that test data isn't easily share-able. Included below are test results from 3 test kernels: kernel reverts ----------------------------------------------------------- 1) vanilla upstream (no reverts) 2) perfteam2 reverts e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c 3) test reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4 e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c In summary, netperf TCP_RR numbers improve by approximately 4% after reverting 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4. When 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4 is included, C0 residency never seems to get above 40%. Taking that patch out gets C0 near 100% quite often, and performance increases. The below data are histograms representing the %c0 residency @ 1-second sample rates (using turbostat), while under netperf test. - If you look at the first 4 histograms, you can see %c0 residency almost entirely in the 30,40% bin. - The last pair, which reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4, shows %c0 in the 80,90,100% bins. Below each kernel name are netperf TCP_RR trans/s numbers for the particular kernel that can be disclosed publicly, comparing the 3 test kernels. We ran a 4th test with the vanilla kernel where we've also set /dev/cpu_dma_latency=0 to show overall impact boosting single-threaded TCP_RR performance over 11% above baseline. 3.10-rc2 vanilla RX + c0 lock (/dev/cpu_dma_latency=0): TCP_RR trans/s 54323.78 ----------------------------------------------------------- 3.10-rc2 vanilla RX (no reverts) TCP_RR trans/s 48192.47 Receiver %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 0]: 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 59]: *********************************************************** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 1]: * 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 0]: Sender %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 0]: 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 11]: *********** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 49]: ************************************************* 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 0]: ----------------------------------------------------------- 3.10-rc2 perfteam2 RX (reverts commit e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c) TCP_RR trans/s 49698.69 Receiver %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 1]: * 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 59]: *********************************************************** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 0]: 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 0]: Sender %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 0]: 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 2]: ** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 58]: ********************************************************** 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 0]: ----------------------------------------------------------- 3.10-rc2 test RX (reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4 and e11538d1f03914eb92af5a1a378375c05ae8520c) TCP_RR trans/s 47766.95 Receiver %c0 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 1]: * 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 27]: *************************** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 2]: ** 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 0]: 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 2]: ** 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 0]: 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 0]: 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 28]: **************************** Sender: 0.0000 - 10.0000 [ 1]: * 10.0000 - 20.0000 [ 0]: 20.0000 - 30.0000 [ 0]: 30.0000 - 40.0000 [ 11]: *********** 40.0000 - 50.0000 [ 0]: 50.0000 - 60.0000 [ 1]: * 60.0000 - 70.0000 [ 0]: 70.0000 - 80.0000 [ 3]: *** 80.0000 - 90.0000 [ 7]: ******* 90.0000 - 100.0000 [ 38]: ************************************** These results demonstrate gaining back the tendency of the CPU to stay in more responsive, performant C-states (and thus yield measurably better performance), by reverting commit 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4.

2013-08-04tracing: Remove locking trace_types_lock from tracing_reset_all_online_cpus()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
commit 09d8091c024ec88d1541d93eb8ddb2bd5cf10c39 upstream. Commit a82274151af "tracing: Protect ftrace_trace_arrays list in trace_events.c" added taking the trace_types_lock mutex in trace_events.c as there were several locations that needed it for protection. Unfortunately, it also encapsulated a call to tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() which also takes the trace_types_lock, causing a deadlock. This happens when a module has tracepoints and has been traced. When the module is removed, the trace events module notifier will grab the trace_types_lock, do a bunch of clean ups, and also clears the buffer by calling tracing_reset_all_online_cpus. This doesn't happen often which explains why it wasn't caught right away. Commit a82274151af was marked for stable, which means this must be sent to stable too.

This means that every caller leaks trace_array: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ # mkdir instances/X # true < instances/X/per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe_raw # rmdir instances/X rmdir: failed to remove `instances/X': Device or resource busy Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130719153644.GA18899@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2013-08-04tracing: Fix error handling to ensure instances can always be removedAlexander Z Lam
commit 609e85a70bcd0eedf4ec60639dbcfb1ab011e054 upstream. Remove debugfs directories for tracing instances during creation if an error occurs causing the trace_array for that instance to not be added to ftrace_trace_arrays. If the directory continues to exist after the error, it cannot be removed because the respective trace_array is not in ftrace_trace_arrays.

2013-07-28hrtimers: Move SMP function call to thread contextThomas Gleixner
commit 5ec2481b7b47a4005bb446d176e5d0257400c77d upstream. smp_call_function_* must not be called from softirq context. But clock_was_set() which calls on_each_cpu() is called from softirq context to implement a delayed clock_was_set() for the timer interrupt handler. Though that almost never gets invoked. A recent change in the resume code uses the softirq based delayed clock_was_set to support Xens resume mechanism. linux-next contains a new warning which warns if smp_call_function_* is called from softirq context which gets triggered by that Xen change. Fix this by moving the delayed clock_was_set() call to a work context.

2013-07-28PM / Sleep: avoid 'autosleep' in shutdown progressLiu ShuoX
commit e5248a111bf4048a9f3fab1a9c94c4630a10592a upstream. Prevent automatic system suspend from happening during system shutdown by making try_to_suspend() check system_state and return immediately if it is not SYSTEM_RUNNING. This prevents the following breakage from happening (scenario from Zhang Yanmin): Kernel starts shutdown and calls all device driver's shutdown callback. When a driver's shutdown is called, the last wakelock is released and suspend-to-ram starts. However, as some driver's shut down callbacks already shut down devices and disabled runtime pm, the suspend-to-ram calls driver's suspend callback without noticing that device is already off and causes crash.

2013-07-25tracing: Add trace_array_get/put() to event handlingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
commit 8e2e2fa47129532a30cff6c25a47078dc97d9260 upstream. Commit a695cb58162 "tracing: Prevent deleting instances when they are being read" tried to fix a race between deleting a trace instance and reading contents of a trace file. But it wasn't good enough. The following could crash the kernel: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances # ( while :; do mkdir foo; rmdir foo; done ) & # ( while :; do echo 1 > foo/events/sched/sched_switch 2> /dev/null; done ) & Luckily this can only be done by root user, but it should be fixed regardless. The problem is that a delete of the file can happen after the write to the event is opened, but before the enabling happens. The solution is to make sure the trace_array is available before succeeding in opening for write, and incerment the ref counter while opened. Now the instance can be deleted when the events are writing to the buffer, but the deletion of the instance will disable all events before the instance is actually deleted.

2013-07-25tracing: Fix race between deleting buffer and setting eventsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
commit 2a6c24afab70dbcfee49f4c76e1511eec1a3298b upstream. While analyzing the code, I discovered that there's a potential race between deleting a trace instance and setting events. There are a few races that can occur if events are being traced as the buffer is being deleted. Mostly the problem comes with freeing the descriptor used by the trace event callback. To prevent problems like this, the events are disabled before the buffer is deleted. The problem with the current solution is that the event_mutex is let go between disabling the events and freeing the files, which means that the events could be enabled again while the freeing takes place.

2013-07-25tracing: Add trace_array_get/put() to handle instance refs betterSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
commit ff451961a8b2a17667a7bfa39c86fb9b351445db upstream. Commit a695cb58162 "tracing: Prevent deleting instances when they are being read" tried to fix a race between deleting a trace instance and reading contents of a trace file. But it wasn't good enough. The following could crash the kernel: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances # ( while :; do mkdir foo; rmdir foo; done ) & # ( while :; do cat foo/trace &> /dev/null; done ) & Luckily this can only be done by root user, but it should be fixed regardless. The problem is that a delete of the file can happen after the reader starts to open the file but before it grabs the trace_types_mutex. The solution is to validate the trace array before using it. If the trace array does not exist in the list of trace arrays, then it returns -ENODEV. There's a possibility that a trace_array could be deleted and a new one created and the open would open its file instead. But that is very minor as it will just return the data of the new trace array, it may confuse the user but it will not crash the system. As this can only be done by root anyway, the race will only occur if root is deleting what its trying to read at the same time.

2013-07-25tracing: Failed to create system directorySteven Rostedt
commit 6e94a780374ed31b280f939d4757e8d7858dff16 upstream. Running the following: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo p:i do_sys_open > kprobe_events # echo p:j schedule >> kprobe_events # cat kprobe_events p:kprobes/i do_sys_open p:kprobes/j schedule # echo p:i do_sys_open >> kprobe_events # cat kprobe_events p:kprobes/j schedule p:kprobes/i do_sys_open # ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/ enable filter j Notice that the 'i' is missing from the kprobes directory. The console produces: "Failed to create system directory kprobes" This is because kprobes passes in a allocated name for the system and the ftrace event subsystem saves off that name instead of creating a duplicate for it. But the kprobes may free the system name making the pointer to it invalid. This bug was introduced by 92edca073c37 "tracing: Use direct field, type and system names" which switched from using kstrdup() on the system name in favor of just keeping apointer to it, as the internal ftrace event system names are static and exist for the life of the computer being booted. Instead of reverting back to duplicating system names again, we can use core_kernel_data() to determine if the passed in name was allocated or static. Then use the MSB of the ref_count to be a flag to keep track if the name was allocated or not. Then we can still save from having to duplicate strings that will always exist, but still copy the ones that may be freed.

2013-07-25perf: Remove WARN_ON_ONCE() check in __perf_event_enable() for valid scenarioJiri Olsa
commit 06f417968beac6e6b614e17b37d347aa6a6b1d30 upstream. The '!ctx->is_active' check has a valid scenario, so there's no need for the warning. The reason is that there's a time window between the 'ctx->is_active' check in the perf_event_enable() function and the __perf_event_enable() function having: - IRQs on - ctx->lock unlocked where the task could be killed and 'ctx' deactivated by perf_event_exit_task(), ending up with the warning below. So remove the WARN_ON_ONCE() check and add comments to explain it all. This addresses the following warning reported by Vince Weaver: [ 324.983534] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 324.984420] WARNING: at kernel/events/core.c:1953 __perf_event_enable+0x187/0x190() [ 324.984420] Modules linked in: [ 324.984420] CPU: 19 PID: 2715 Comm: nmi_bug_snb Not tainted 3.10.0+ #246 [ 324.984420] Hardware name: Supermicro X8DTN/X8DTN, BIOS 4.6.3 01/08/2010 [ 324.984420] 0000000000000009 ffff88043fce3ec8 ffffffff8160ea0b ffff88043fce3f00 [ 324.984420] ffffffff81080ff0 ffff8802314fdc00 ffff880231a8f800 ffff88043fcf7860 [ 324.984420] 0000000000000286 ffff880231a8f800 ffff88043fce3f10 ffffffff8108103a [ 324.984420] Call Trace: [ 324.984420] <IRQ> [<ffffffff8160ea0b>] dump_stack+0x19/0x1b [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff81080ff0>] warn_slowpath_common+0x70/0xa0 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff8108103a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff81134437>] __perf_event_enable+0x187/0x190 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff81130030>] remote_function+0x40/0x50 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff810e51de>] generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0xbe/0x130 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff81066a47>] smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x27/0x40 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff8161fd2f>] call_function_single_interrupt+0x6f/0x80 [ 324.984420] <EOI> [<ffffffff816161a1>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x41/0x70 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff8113799d>] perf_event_exit_task+0x14d/0x210 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff810acd04>] ? switch_task_namespaces+0x24/0x60 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff81086946>] do_exit+0x2b6/0xa40 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff8161615c>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x2c/0x30 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff81087279>] do_group_exit+0x49/0xc0 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff81096854>] get_signal_to_deliver+0x254/0x620 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff81043057>] do_signal+0x57/0x5a0 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff8161a164>] ? __do_page_fault+0x2a4/0x4e0 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff8161665c>] ? retint_restore_args+0xe/0xe [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff816166cd>] ? retint_signal+0x11/0x84 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff81043605>] do_notify_resume+0x65/0x80 [ 324.984420] [<ffffffff81616702>] retint_signal+0x46/0x84 [ 324.984420] ---[ end trace 442ec2f04db3771a ]--- Reported-by: Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1373384651-6109-2-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
