Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Two more tracing fixes

   - Have kprobes not use copy_from_user() to access kernel addresses,
     because kprobes can legitimately poke at bad kernel memory, which
     will fault. Copy from user code should never fault in kernel space.
     Using probe_mem_read() can handle kernel address space faulting.

   - Put back the entries counter in the tracing output that was
     accidentally removed"

The following commit

  441dae8f2f29 ("tracing: Add support for display of tgid in trace output")

removed the call to print_event_info() from print_func_help_header_irq()
which results in the ftrace header not reporting the number of entries
written in the buffer. As this wasn't the original intent of the patch,
re-introduce the call to print_event_info() to restore the orginal
behaviour.

The userspace can ask kprobe to intercept strings at any memory address,
including invalid kernel address. In this case, fetch_store_strlen()
would crash since it uses general usercopy function, and user access
functions are no longer allowed to access kernel memory.

For example, we can crash the kernel by doing something as below:

$ sudo kprobe 'p:do_sys_open +0(+0(%si)):string'

This can be fixed by using probe_mem_read() instead, as it can handle faulting
kernel memory addresses, which kprobes can legitimately do.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "This fixes kprobes/uprobes dynamic processing of strings, where it
  processes the args but does not update the remaining length of the
  buffer that the string arguments will be placed in. It constantly
  passes in the total size of buffer used instead of passing in the
  remaining size of the buffer used.

  This could cause issues if the strings are larger than the max size of
  an event which could cause the strings to be written beyond what was
  reserved on the buffer"

Commit 9178412ddf5a ("tracing: probeevent: Return consumed
bytes of dynamic area") improved the string fetching
mechanism by returning the number of required bytes after
copying the argument to the dynamic area. However, this
return value is now only used to increment the pointer
inside the dynamic area but misses updating the 'maxlen'
variable which indicates the remaining space in the dynamic
area.

This means that fetch_store_string() always reads the *total*
size of the dynamic area from the data_loc pointer instead of
the *remaining* size (and passes it along to
strncpy_from_{user,unsafe}) even if we're already about to
copy data into the middle of the dynamic area.

Since tracepoints_mutex will be taken in tracepoint_probe_register/unregister()
there is no need to take bpf_event_mutex too.
bpf_event_mutex is protecting modifications to prog array used in kprobe/perf bpf progs.
bpf_raw_tracepoints don't need to take this mutex.

<title>tracing/uprobes: Fix output for multiple string arguments</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0722069a5374b904ec1a67f91249f90e1cfae259</id>
<content type='text'>
When printing multiple uprobe arguments as strings the output for the
earlier arguments would also include all later string arguments.

This is best explained in an example:

Consider adding a uprobe to a function receiving two strings as
parameters which is at offset 0xa0 in strlib.so and we want to print
both parameters when the uprobe is hit (on x86_64):

$ echo 'p:func /lib/strlib.so:0xa0 +0(%di):string +0(%si):string' &gt; \
    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

When the function is called as func("foo", "bar") and we hit the probe,
the trace file shows a line like the following:

  [...] func: (0x7f7e683706a0) arg1="foobar" arg2="bar"

Note the extra "bar" printed as part of arg1. This behaviour stacks up
for additional string arguments.

The strings are stored in a dynamically growing part of the uprobe
buffer by fetch_store_string() after copying them from userspace via
strncpy_from_user(). The return value of strncpy_from_user() is then
directly used as the required size for the string. However, this does
not take the terminating null byte into account as the documentation
for strncpy_from_user() cleary states that it "[...] returns the
length of the string (not including the trailing NUL)" even though the
null byte will be copied to the destination.

Therefore, subsequent calls to fetch_store_string() will overwrite
the terminating null byte of the most recently fetched string with
the first character of the current string, leading to the
"accumulation" of strings in earlier arguments in the output.

Fix this by incrementing the return value of strncpy_from_user() by
one if we did not hit the maximum buffer size.

The subsystem-specific message prefix for uprobes was also
"trace_kprobe: " instead of "trace_uprobe: " as described in
the original commit message.

<title>tracing/kprobes: Fix NULL pointer dereference in trace_kprobe_create()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8b05a3a7503c2a982c9c462eae96cfbd59506783</id>
<content type='text'>
It is possible to trigger a NULL pointer dereference by writing an
incorrectly formatted string to krpobe_events (trying to create a
kretprobe omitting the symbol).

Example:

 echo "r:event_1 " &gt;&gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events

That triggers this:
