<content type='text'>
Added various checks on open tracefs calls to see if tracefs is in lockdown
mode, and if so, to return -EPERM.

Note, the event format files (which are basically standard on all machines)
as well as the enabled_functions file (which shows what is currently being
traced) are not lockde down. Perhaps they should be, but it seems counter
intuitive to lockdown information to help you know if the system has been
modified.

<content type='text'>
Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
 "This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
  Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.

  From the original description:

    This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
    intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
    When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
    Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
    kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
    enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.

    The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
    of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
    doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
    to not requiring external patches.

  There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:

   - Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
     covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/

   -  Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
      module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
      rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.

  The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
  policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
  tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
  permitted.

  The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
  policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
  level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:

    lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}

  Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
  that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
  confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
  confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.

  This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
  overriden by kernel configuration.

  New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
  lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
  include/linux/security.h for details.

  The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
  across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
  weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.

  Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5cf42 ("bpf: Restrict bpf
  when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a
  Signed-off-by from its author. Matthew responded that he is providing
  this under category (c) of the DCO"

<title>tracing/probe: Fix same probe event argument matching</title>

Commit fe60b0ce8e73 ("tracing/probe: Reject exactly same probe event")
tries to reject a event which matches an already existing probe.

However it currently continues to match arguments and rejects adding a
probe even when the arguments don't match. Fix this by only rejecting a
probe if and only if all the arguments match.

Reject exactly same probe events as existing probes.

Multiprobe allows user to define multiple probes on same
event. If user appends a probe which exactly same definition
(same probe address and same arguments) on existing event,
the event will record same probe information twice.
That can be confusing users, so reject it.

Fix to allow user to enable probe events on unloaded modules.

This operations was allowed before commit 60d53e2c3b75 ("tracing/probe:
Split trace_event related data from trace_probe"), because if users
need to probe module init functions, they have to enable those probe
events before loading module.

<id>urn:sha1:a42e3c4de9642d5de524a0a48a7ce96872662dca</id>
<content type='text'>
Add immediate string parameter (\"string") support to
probe events. This allows you to specify an immediate
(or dummy) parameter instead of fetching a string from
memory.

This feature looks odd, but imagine that you put a probe
on a code to trace some string data. If the code is
compiled into 2 instructions and 1 instruction has a
string on memory but other has no string since it is
optimized out. In that case, you can not fold those into
one event, even if ftrace supported multiple probes on
one event. With this feature, you can set a dummy string
like foo=\"(optimized)":string instead of something
like foo=+0(+0(%bp)):string.

Allow user to delete a probe from event. This is done by head
match. For example, if we have 2 probes on an event

$ cat kprobe_events
p:kprobes/testprobe _do_fork r1=%ax r2=%dx
p:kprobes/testprobe idle_fork r1=%ax r2=%cx

Then you can remove one of them by passing the head of definition
which identify the probe.

$ echo "-:kprobes/testprobe idle_fork" &gt;&gt; kprobe_events

<id>urn:sha1:ca89bc071d5e4e981dcc52e0ca90f4500d332e42</id>
<content type='text'>
Add multi-probe per one event support to kprobe events.
User can define several different probes on one trace event
if those events have same "event signature",
e.g.

  # echo p:testevent _do_fork &gt; kprobe_events
  # echo p:testevent fork_idle &gt;&gt; kprobe_events
  # kprobe_events
  p:kprobes/testevent _do_fork
  p:kprobes/testevent fork_idle

The event signature is defined by kprobe type (retprobe or not),
the number of args, argument names, and argument types.

Note that this only support appending method. Delete event
operation will delete all probes on the event.
