[ Upstream commit 3e4272b9954094907f16861199728f14002fcaf6 ]
In a previous commit 7433632c9f, buffer, buffer->buffers and
buffer->buffers[cpu] in ring_buffer_wake_waiters() can be NULL,
and thus the related checks are added.
However, in the same call stack, these variables are also used in
ring_buffer_free_read_page():
tracing_buffers_release()
ring_buffer_wake_waiters(iter->array_buffer->buffer)
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] -> Add checks by previous commit
ring_buffer_free_read_page(iter->array_buffer->buffer)
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] -> No check
Thus, to avod possible null-pointer derefernces, the related checks
should be added.
These results are reported by a static tool designed by myself.

commit 8843e06f67b14f71c044bf6267b2387784c7e198 upstream.
It seems a data race between ring_buffer writing and integrity check.
That is, RB_FLAG of head_page is been updating, while at same time
RB_FLAG was cleared when doing integrity check rb_check_pages():
rb_check_pages() rb_handle_head_page():
-------- --------
rb_head_page_deactivate()
rb_head_page_set_normal()
rb_head_page_activate()
We do intergrity test of the list to check if the list is corrupted and
it is still worth doing it. So, let's refactor rb_check_pages() such that
we no longer clear and set flag during the list sanity checking.
[1] and [2] are the test to reproduce and the crash report respectively.

[ Upstream commit 31029a8b2c ]
The function ring_buffer_nr_dirty_pages() was created to find out how many
pages are filled in the ring buffer. There's two running counters. One is
incremented whenever a new page is touched (pages_touched) and the other
is whenever a page is read (pages_read). The dirty count is the number
touched minus the number read. This is used to determine if a blocked task
should be woken up if the percentage of the ring buffer it is waiting for
is hit.
The problem is that it does not take into account dropped pages (when the
new writes overwrite pages that were not read). And then the dirty pages
will always be greater than the percentage.
This makes the "buffer_percent" file inaccurate, as the number of dirty
pages end up always being larger than the percentage, event when it's not
and this causes user space to be woken up more than it wants to be.
Add a new counter to keep track of lost pages, and include that in the
accounting of dirty pages so that it is actually accurate.

commit 42fb0a1e84 upstream.
Currently the way polling works on the ring buffer is broken. It will
return immediately if there's any data in the ring buffer whereas a read
will block until the watermark (defined by the tracefs buffer_percent file)
is hit.
That is, a select() or poll() will return as if there's data available,
but then the following read will block. This is broken for the way
select()s and poll()s are supposed to work.
Have the polling on the ring buffer also block the same way reads and
splice does on the ring buffer.

commit a0fcaaed0c upstream.
The ring buffer is broken up into sub buffers (currently of page size).
Each sub buffer has a pointer to its "tail" (the last event written to the
sub buffer). When a new event is requested, the tail is locally
incremented to cover the size of the new event. This is done in a way that
there is no need for locking.
If the tail goes past the end of the sub buffer, the process of moving to
the next sub buffer takes place. After setting the current sub buffer to
the next one, the previous one that had the tail go passed the end of the
sub buffer needs to be reset back to the original tail location (before
the new event was requested) and the rest of the sub buffer needs to be
"padded".
The race happens when a reader takes control of the sub buffer. As readers
do a "swap" of sub buffers from the ring buffer to get exclusive access to
the sub buffer, it replaces the "head" sub buffer with an empty sub buffer
that goes back into the writable portion of the ring buffer. This swap can
happen as soon as the writer moves to the next sub buffer and before it
updates the last sub buffer with padding.
Because the sub buffer can be released to the reader while the writer is
still updating the padding, it is possible for the reader to see the event
that goes past the end of the sub buffer. This can cause obvious issues.
To fix this, add a few memory barriers so that the reader definitely sees
the updates to the sub buffer, and also waits until the writer has put
back the "tail" of the sub buffer back to the last event that was written
on it.
To be paranoid, it will only spin for 1 second, otherwise it will
warn and shutdown the ring buffer code. 1 second should be enough as
the writer does have preemption disabled. If the writer doesn't move
within 1 second (with preemption disabled) something is horribly
wrong. No interrupt should last 1 second!

commit ec0bbc5ec5 upstream.
The wake up waiters only checks the "wakeup_full" variable and not the
"full_waiters_pending". The full_waiters_pending is set when a waiter is
added to the wait queue. The wakeup_full is only set when an event is
triggered, and it clears the full_waiters_pending to avoid multiple calls
to irq_work_queue().
The irq_work callback really needs to check both wakeup_full as well as
full_waiters_pending such that this code can be used to wake up waiters
when a file is closed that represents the ring buffer and the waiters need
to be woken up.

commit fa8f4a8973 upstream.
If a page is partially read, and then the splice system call is run
against the ring buffer, it will always fail to read, no matter how much
is in the ring buffer. That's because the code path for a partial read of
the page does will fail if the "full" flag is set.
The splice system call wants full pages, so if the read of the ring buffer
is not yet full, it should return zero, and the splice will block. But if
a previous read was done, where the beginning has been consumed, it should
still be given to the splice caller if the rest of the page has been
written to.
This caused the splice command to never consume data in this scenario, and
let the ring buffer just fill up and lose events.

commit 51d1579466 upstream.
The resetting of the entire ring buffer use to simply go through and reset
each individual CPU buffer that had its own protection and synchronization.
But this was very slow, due to performing a synchronization for each CPU.
The code was reshuffled to do one disabling of all CPU buffers, followed
by a single RCU synchronization, and then the resetting of each of the CPU
buffers. But unfortunately, the mutex that prevented multiple occurrences
of resetting the buffer was not moved to the upper function, and there is
nothing to protect from it.
Take the ring buffer mutex around the global reset.

commit 67f0d6d988 upstream.
The "rb_per_cpu_empty()" misinterpret the condition (as not-empty) when
"head_page" and "commit_page" of "struct ring_buffer_per_cpu" points to
the same buffer page, whose "buffer_data_page" is empty and "read" field
is non-zero.
An error scenario could be constructed as followed (kernel perspective):
1. All pages in the buffer has been accessed by reader(s) so that all of
them will have non-zero "read" field.
2. Read and clear all buffer pages so that "rb_num_of_entries()" will
return 0 rendering there's no more data to read. It is also required
that the "read_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to the same
page, while "head_page" is the next page of them.
3. Invoke "ring_buffer_lock_reserve()" with large enough "length"
so that it shot pass the end of current tail buffer page. Now the
"head_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to the same page.
4. Discard current event with "ring_buffer_discard_commit()", so that
"head_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to a page whose buffer
data page is now empty.
When the error scenario has been constructed, "tracing_read_pipe" will
be trapped inside a deadloop: "trace_empty()" returns 0 since
"rb_per_cpu_empty()" returns 0 when it hits the CPU containing such
constructed ring buffer. Then "trace_find_next_entry_inc()" always
return NULL since "rb_num_of_entries()" reports there's no more entry
to read. Finally "trace_seq_to_user()" returns "-EBUSY" spanking
"tracing_read_pipe" back to the start of the "waitagain" loop.
I've also written a proof-of-concept script to construct the scenario
and trigger the bug automatically, you can use it to trace and validate
my reasoning above:

Tests has been carried out on linux kernel 5.14-rc2

commit 6f6be606e7 upstream.
Part of the logic of the new time stamp code depends on the before_stamp and
the write_stamp to be different if the write_stamp does not match the last
event on the buffer, as it will be used to calculate the delta of the next
event written on the buffer.
The discard logic depends on this, as the next event to come in needs to
inject a full timestamp as it can not rely on the last event timestamp in
the buffer because it is unknown due to events after it being discarded. But
by changing the write_stamp back to the time before it, it forces the next
event to use a full time stamp, instead of relying on it.
The issue came when a full time stamp was used for the event, and
rb_time_delta() returns zero in that case. The update to the write_stamp
(which subtracts delta) made it not change. Then when the event is removed
from the buffer, because the before_stamp and write_stamp still match, the
next event written would calculate its delta from the write_stamp, but that
would be wrong as the write_stamp is of the time of the event that was
discarded.
In the case that the delta change being made to write_stamp is zero, set the
before_stamp to zero as well, and this will force the next event to inject a
full timestamp and not use the current write_stamp.

The current ring buffer logic checks to see if the updating of the event
buffer was interrupted, and if it is, it will try to fix up the before stamp
with the write stamp to make them equal again. This logic is flawed, because
if it is not interrupted, the two are guaranteed to be different, as the
current event just updated the before stamp before allocation. This
guarantees that the next event (this one or another interrupting one) will
think it interrupted the time updates of a previous event and inject an
absolute time stamp to compensate.
The correct logic is to always update the timestamps when traversing to a
new sub buffer.

The recursion protection of the ring buffer depends on preempt_count() to be
correct. But it is possible that the ring buffer gets called after an
interrupt comes in but before it updates the preempt_count(). This will
trigger a false positive in the recursion code.
Use the same trick from the ftrace function callback recursion code which
uses a "transition" bit that gets set, to allow for a single recursion for
to handle transitions between contexts.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- The biggest news in that the tracing ring buffer can now time events
that interrupted other ring buffer events.
Before this change, if an interrupt came in while recording another
event, and that interrupt also had an event, those events would all
have the same time stamp as the event it interrupted.
Now, with the new design, those events will have a unique time stamp
and rightfully display the time for those events that were recorded
while interrupting another event.
- Bootconfig how has an "override" operator that lets the users have a
default config, but then add options to override the default.
- A fix was made to properly filter function graph tracing to the
ftrace PIDs. This came in at the end of the -rc cycle, and needs to
be backported.
- Several clean ups, performance updates, and minor fixes as well.

After tweaking the ring buffer to be a bit faster, a warning is triggering
on one of my machines, and causing my tests to fail. This warning is caused
when the delta (current time stamp minus previous time stamp), is larger
than the max time held by the ring buffer (59 bits).
If the clock were to go backwards slightly, this would then easily trigger
this warning. The machine that it triggered on, the clock did go backwards
by around 450 nanoseconds, and this happened after a recalibration of the
TSC clock. Now that the ring buffer is faster, it detects this, and the
delta that is used larger than the max, the warning is triggered and my test
fails.
To handle the clock going backwards, look at the saved before and after time
stamps. If they are the same, it means that the current event did not
interrupt another event, and that those timestamp are of a previous event
that was recorded. If the max delta is triggered, look at those time stamps,
make sure they are the same, then use them to compare with the current
timestamp. If the current timestamp is less than the before/after time
stamps, then that means the clock being used went backward.
Print out a message that this has happened, but do not warn about it (and
only print the message once).
Still do the warning if the delta is indeed larger than what can be used.
Also remove the unneeded KERN_WARNING from the WARN_ONCE() print.

After doing some benchmarks and examining the code, I found that the ring
buffer clock calls were quite expensive, and noticed that it uses
retpolines. This is because the ring buffer clock is programmable, and can
be set. But in most cases it simply uses the fastest ns unit clock which is
the trace_clock_local(). For RETPOLINE builds, checking if the ring buffer
clock is set to trace_clock_local() and then calling it directly has brought
the time of an event on my i7 box from an average of 93 nanoseconds an event
down to 83 nanoseconds an event, and the minimum time from 81 nanoseconds to
68 nanoseconds!
