For instance, it can be triggered by running these two commands in
parallel:

done
$ stress-ng --sysinfo $(nproc)
The warning indicates that the current ring_buffer_per_cpu is not in the
committing state. It happens because the active ring_buffer_event
doesn't actually come from the ring_buffer_per_cpu but is allocated from
trace_buffered_event.
The bug is in function trace_buffered_event_disable() where the
following normally happens:
* The code invokes disable_trace_buffered_event() via
smp_call_function_many() and follows it by synchronize_rcu(). This
increments the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event_cnt on each
target CPU and grants trace_buffered_event_disable() the exclusive
access to the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event.
* Maintenance is performed on trace_buffered_event, all per-CPU event
buffers get freed.
* The code invokes enable_trace_buffered_event() via
smp_call_function_many(). This decrements trace_buffered_event_cnt and
releases the access to trace_buffered_event.
A problem is that smp_call_function_many() runs a given function on all
target CPUs except on the current one. The following can then occur:
* Task X executing trace_buffered_event_disable() runs on CPU 0.
* The control reaches synchronize_rcu() and the task gets rescheduled on
another CPU 1.
* The RCU synchronization finishes. At this point,
trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to all
trace_buffered_event variables except trace_buffered_event[CPU0]
because trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is never incremented and if the
buffer is currently unused, remains set to 0.
* A different task Y is scheduled on CPU 0 and hits a trace event. The
code in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() sees that
trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is set to 0 and decides the use the
buffer provided by trace_buffered_event[CPU0].
* Task X continues its execution in trace_buffered_event_disable(). The
code incorrectly frees the event buffer pointed by
trace_buffered_event[CPU0] and resets the variable to NULL.
* Task Y writes event data to the now freed buffer and later detects the
created inconsistency.
The issue is observable since commit dea499781a11 ("tracing: Fix warning
in trace_buffered_event_disable()") which moved the call of
trace_buffered_event_disable() in __ftrace_event_enable_disable()
earlier, prior to invoking call->class->reg(.. TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER ..).
The underlying problem in trace_buffered_event_disable() is however
present since the original implementation in commit 0fc1b09ff1ff
("tracing: Use temp buffer when filtering events").
Fix the problem by replacing the two smp_call_function_many() calls with
on_each_cpu_mask() which invokes a given callback on all CPUs.

commit b538bf7d0ec11ca49f536dfda742a5f6db90a798 upstream.
It use to be that only the top level instance had a snapshot buffer (for
latency tracers like wakeup and irqsoff). When stopping a tracer in an
instance would not disable the snapshot buffer. This could have some
unintended consequences if the irqsoff tracer is enabled.
Consolidate the tracing_start/stop() with tracing_start/stop_tr() so that
all instances behave the same. The tracing_start/stop() functions will
just call their respective tracing_start/stop_tr() with the global_array
passed in.

commit 7be76461f302ec05cbd62b90b2a05c64299ca01f upstream.
It use to be that only the top level instance had a snapshot buffer (for
latency tracers like wakeup and irqsoff). The update of the ring buffer
size would check if the instance was the top level and if so, it would
also update the snapshot buffer as it needs to be the same as the main
buffer.
Now that lower level instances also has a snapshot buffer, they too need
to update their snapshot buffer sizes when the main buffer is changed,
otherwise the following can be triggered:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo 1500 > buffer_size_kb
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo irqsoff > instances/foo/current_tracer
# echo 1000 > instances/foo/buffer_size_kb
Produces:

That's because ring_buffer_swap_cpu() has:

Instead, update all instances' snapshot buffer sizes when their main

[ Upstream commit 34209fe83ef8404353f91ab4ea4035dbc9922d04 ]
Function trace_buffered_event_disable() produces an unexpected warning
when the previous call to trace_buffered_event_enable() fails to
allocate pages for buffered events.
The situation can occur as follows:
* The counter trace_buffered_event_ref is at 0.
* The soft mode gets enabled for some event and
trace_buffered_event_enable() is called. The function increments
trace_buffered_event_ref to 1 and starts allocating event pages.
* The allocation fails for some page and trace_buffered_event_disable()
is called for cleanup.
* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() decrements
trace_buffered_event_ref back to 0, recognizes that it was the last
use of buffered events and frees all allocated pages.
* The control goes back to trace_buffered_event_enable() which returns.
The caller of trace_buffered_event_enable() has no information that
the function actually failed.
* Some time later, the soft mode is disabled for the same event.
Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called. It warns on
"WARN_ON_ONCE(!trace_buffered_event_ref)" and returns.
Buffered events are just an optimization and can handle failures. Make
trace_buffered_event_enable() exit on the first failure and left any
cleanup later to when trace_buffered_event_disable() is called.

commit bb32500fb9b78215e4ef6ee8b4345c5f5d7eafb4 upstream.
The following can crash the kernel:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo 'p:sched schedule' > kprobe_events
# exec 5>>events/kprobes/sched/enable
# > kprobe_events
# exec 5>&-
The above commands:
1. Change directory to the tracefs directory
2. Create a kprobe event (doesn't matter what one)
3. Open bash file descriptor 5 on the enable file of the kprobe event
4. Delete the kprobe event (removes the files too)
5. Close the bash file descriptor 5
The above causes a crash!

RIP: 0010:tracing_release_file_tr+0xc/0x50
What happens here is that the kprobe event creates a trace_event_file
"file" descriptor that represents the file in tracefs to the event. It
maintains state of the event (is it enabled for the given instance?).
Opening the "enable" file gets a reference to the event "file" descriptor
via the open file descriptor. When the kprobe event is deleted, the file is
also deleted from the tracefs system which also frees the event "file"
descriptor.
But as the tracefs file is still opened by user space, it will not be
totally removed until the final dput() is called on it. But this is not
true with the event "file" descriptor that is already freed. If the user
does a write to or simply closes the file descriptor it will reference the
event "file" descriptor that was just freed, causing a use-after-free bug.
To solve this, add a ref count to the event "file" descriptor as well as a
new flag called "FREED". The "file" will not be freed until the last
reference is released. But the FREE flag will be set when the event is
removed to prevent any more modifications to that event from happening,
even if there's still a reference to the event "file" descriptor.

[ Upstream commit 23cce5f25491968b23fb9c399bbfb25f13870cd9 ]
When kernel is compiled without preemption, the eval_map_work_func()
(which calls trace_event_eval_update()) will not be preempted up to its
complete execution. This can actually cause a problem since if another
CPU call stop_machine(), the call will have to wait for the
eval_map_work_func() function to finish executing in the workqueue
before being able to be scheduled. This problem was observe on a SMP
system at boot time, when the CPU calling the initcalls executed
clocksource_done_booting() which in the end calls stop_machine(). We
observed a 1 second delay because one CPU was executing
eval_map_work_func() and was not preempted by the stop_machine() task.
Adding a call to cond_resched() in trace_event_eval_update() allows
other tasks to be executed and thus continue working asynchronously
like before without blocking any pending task at boot time.
