<title>tracing: Handle NULL formats in hold_module_trace_bprintk_format()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:70c8217acd4383e069fe1898bbad36ea4fcdbdcc</id>
<content type='text'>
If a task uses a non constant string for the format parameter in
trace_printk(), then the trace_printk_fmt variable is set to NULL. This
variable is then saved in the __trace_printk_fmt section.

The function hold_module_trace_bprintk_format() checks to see if duplicate
formats are used by modules, and reuses them if so (saves them to the list
if it is new). But this function calls lookup_format() that does a strcmp()
to the value (which is now NULL) and can cause a kernel oops.

This wasn't an issue till 3debb0a9ddb ("tracing: Fix trace_printk() to print
when not using bprintk()") which added "__used" to the trace_printk_fmt
variable, and before that, the kernel simply optimized it out (no NULL value
was saved).

The fix is simply to handle the NULL pointer in lookup_format() and have the
caller ignore the value if it was NULL.

<content type='text'>
The ctx structure passed into bpf programs is different depending on bpf
program type. The verifier incorrectly marked ctx-&gt;data and ctx-&gt;data_end
access based on ctx offset only. That caused loads in tracing programs
int bpf_prog(struct pt_regs *ctx) { .. ctx-&gt;ax .. }
to be incorrectly marked as PTR_TO_PACKET which later caused verifier
to reject the program that was actually valid in tracing context.
Fix this by doing program type specific matching of ctx offsets.

<content type='text'>
In bpf_perf_event_read() and bpf_perf_event_output(), we must use
READ_ONCE() for fetching the struct file pointer, which could get
updated concurrently, so we must prevent the compiler from potential
refetching.

We already do this with tail calls for fetching the related bpf_prog,
but not so on stored perf events. Semantics for both are the same
with regards to updates.

Pull motr tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Three more changes.

   - I forgot that I had another selftest to stress test the ftrace
     instance creation.  It was actually suppose to go into the 4.6
     merge window, but I never committed it.  I almost forgot about it
     again, but noticed it was missing from your tree.

   - Soumya PN sent me a clean up patch to not disable interrupts when
     taking the tasklist_lock for read, as it's unnecessary because that
     lock is never taken for write in irq context.

   - Newer gcc's can cause the jump in the function_graph code to the
     global ftrace_stub label to be a short jump instead of a long one.
     As that jump is dynamically converted to jump to the trace code to
     do function graph tracing, and that conversion expects a long jump
     it can corrupt the ftrace_stub itself (it's directly after that
     call).  One way to prevent gcc from using a short jump is to
     declare the ftrace_stub as a weak function, which we do here to
     keep gcc from optimizing too much"

<id>urn:sha1:6112a300c9e41993cc0dc56ac393743d28381284</id>
<content type='text'>
In ftrace.c inside the function alloc_retstack_tasklist() (which will be
invoked when function_graph tracing is on) the tasklist_lock is being
held as reader while iterating through a list of threads. Here the lock
is being held as reader with irqs disabled. The tasklist_lock is never
write_locked in interrupt context so it is safe to not disable interrupts
for the duration of read_lock in this block which, can be significant,
given the block of code iterates through all threads. Hence changing the
code to call read_lock() and read_unlock() instead of read_lock_irqsave()
and read_unlock_irqrestore().

A similar change was made in commits: 8063e41d2ffc ("tracing: Change
syscall_*regfunc() to check PF_KTHREAD and use for_each_process_thread()")'
and 3472eaa1f12e ("sched: normalize_rt_tasks(): Don't use _irqsave for
tasklist_lock, use task_rq_lock()")'

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This includes two new updates for the ftrace infrastructure.

   - With the changing of the code for filtering events by pid, from a
     list of pids to a bitmask, we can now easily implement following
     forks.  With a new tracing option "event-fork" which, when set,
     will have tasks with pids in set_event_pid, when they fork, to have
     their child pids added to set_event_pid and the child will be
     traced as well.

     Note, if "event-fork" is set and a task with its pid in
     set_event_pid exits, its pid will be removed from set_event_pid

   - The addition of Tom Zanussi's hist triggers.  This includes a very
     thorough documentatino on how to use the hist triggers with events.
     This introduces a quick and easy way to get histogram data from
     events and their fields.

  Some other cleanups and updates were added as well.  Like Masami
  Hiramatsu added test cases for the event trigger and hist triggers.
  Also I added a speed up of filtering by using a temp buffer when
  filters are set"
