User visible changes:

- Show actual size of ring buffer after modifying the ring buffer size via
buffer_size_kb. Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual
size rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead.
Major changes:
- Added "eventfs". This is the code that handles the inodes and dentries of
tracefs/events directory. As there are thousands of events, and each event
has several inodes and dentries that currently exist even when tracing is
never used, they take up precious memory. Instead, eventfs will allocate
the inodes and dentries in a JIT way (similar to what procfs does). There
is now metadata that handles the events and subdirectories, and will create
the inodes and dentries when they are used.
Note, I also have patches that remove the subdirectory meta data, but will
wait till the next merge window before applying them. It's a little more
complex, and I want to make sure the dynamic code works properly before
adding more complexity, making it easier to revert if need be.
Minor changes:
- Optimization to user event list traversal.
- Remove intermediate permission of tracefs files (note the intermediate
permission removes all access to the files so it is not a security concern,
but just a clean up.)
- Add the complex fix to FORTIFY_SOURCE to the kernel stack event logic.

Going a step further, we propose a way to use any user-space
workload as the task waiting for the timerlat timer. This is done
via a per-CPU file named osnoise/cpu$id/timerlat_fd file.
The tracef_fd allows a task to open at a time. When a task reads
the file, the timerlat timer is armed for future osnoise/timerlat_period_us
time. When the timer fires, it prints the IRQ latency and
wakes up the user-space thread waiting in the timerlat_fd.
The thread then starts to run, executes the timerlat measurement, prints
the thread scheduling latency and returns to user-space.
When the thread rereads the timerlat_fd, the tracer will print the
user-ret(urn) latency, which is an additional metric.
This additional metric is also traced by the tracer and can be used, for
example of measuring the context switch overhead from kernel-to-user and
user-to-kernel, or the response time for an arbitrary execution in
user-space.
The tracer supports one thread per CPU, the thread must be pinned to
the CPU, and it cannot migrate while holding the timerlat_fd. The reason
is that the tracer is per CPU (nothing prohibits the tracer from
allowing migrations in the future). The tracer monitors the migration
of the thread and disables the tracer if detected.
The timerlat_fd is only available for opening/reading when timerlat
tracer is enabled, and NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set.
The simplest way to activate this feature from user-space is:
-------------------------------- %< -----------------------------------
int main(void)
{
char buffer[1024];
int timerlat_fd;
int retval;
long cpu = 0; /* place in CPU 0 */
cpu_set_t set;
CPU_ZERO(&set);
CPU_SET(cpu, &set);
if (sched_setaffinity(gettid(), sizeof(set), &set) == -1)
return 1;
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer),
"/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu%ld/timerlat_fd",
cpu);
timerlat_fd = open(buffer, O_RDONLY);
if (timerlat_fd < 0) {
printf("error opening %s: %s\n", buffer, strerror(errno));
exit(1);
}
for (;;) {
retval = read(timerlat_fd, buffer, 1024);
if (retval < 0)
break;
}
close(timerlat_fd);
exit(0);
}
-------------------------------- >% -----------------------------------
When disabling timerlat, if there is a workload holding the timerlat_fd,
the SIGKILL will be sent to the thread.

Adding new available_filter_functions_addrs file that shows all available
functions (same as available_filter_functions) together with addresses,
like:
# cat available_filter_functions_addrs | head
ffffffff81000770 __traceiter_initcall_level
ffffffff810007c0 __traceiter_initcall_start
ffffffff81000810 __traceiter_initcall_finish
ffffffff81000860 trace_initcall_finish_cb
...
Note displayed address is the patch-site address and can differ from
/proc/kallsyms address.
It's useful to have address avilable for traceable symbols, so we don't
need to allways cross check kallsyms with available_filter_functions
(or the other way around) and have all the data in single file.
For backwards compatibility reasons we can't change the existing
available_filter_functions file output, but we need to add new file.
The problem is that we need to do 2 passes:
- through available_filter_functions and find out if the function is traceable
- through /proc/kallsyms to get the address for traceable function
Having available_filter_functions symbols together with addresses allow
us to skip the kallsyms step and we are ok with the address in
available_filter_functions_addr not being the function entry, because
kprobe_multi uses fprobe and that handles both entry and patch-site
address properly.
We have 2 interfaces how to create kprobe_multi link:
a) passing symbols to kernel
1) user gathers symbols and need to ensure that they are
trace-able -> pass through available_filter_functions file
2) kernel takes those symbols and translates them to addresses
through kallsyms api
3) addresses are passed to fprobe/ftrace through:
register_fprobe_ips
-> ftrace_set_filter_ips
b) passing addresses to kernel
1) user gathers symbols and needs to ensure that they are
trace-able -> pass through available_filter_functions file
2) user takes those symbols and translates them to addresses
through /proc/kallsyms
3) addresses are passed to the kernel and kernel calls:
register_fprobe_ips
-> ftrace_set_filter_ips
The new available_filter_functions_addrs file helps us with option b),
because we can make 'b 1' and 'b 2' in one step - while filtering traceable
functions, we get the address directly.

The PTT can only filter the traced TLP headers by the Root Ports or the
Requester ID of the Endpoint, which are located on the same PCIe core of
the PTT device. The filter value used is derived from the BDF number of
the supported Root Port or the Endpoint. It's not friendly enough for the
users since it requires the user to be familiar enough with the platform
and calculate the filter value manually.
This patch export the available filters through sysfs. Each available
filters is presented as an individual file with the name of the BDF
number of the related PCIe device. The files are created under
$(PTT PMU dir)/available_root_port_filters and
$(PTT PMU dir)/available_requester_filters respectively. The filter
value can be known by reading the related file.
Then the users can easily know the available filters for trace and get
the filter values without calculating.

The PCIe devices supported by the PTT trace can be removed/rescanned by
hotplug or through sysfs. Add support for dynamically updating the
available filter list by registering a PCI bus notifier block. Then user
can always get latest information about available tracing filters and
driver can block the invalid filters of which related devices no longer
exist in the system.

The histogram and synthetic events can use a pseudo event called
"stacktrace" that will create a stacktrace at the time of the event and
use it just like it was a normal field. We have other pseudo events such
as "common_cpu" and "common_timestamp". To stay consistent with that,
convert "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". As this was used in older
kernels, to keep backward compatibility, this will act just like
"common_cpu" did with "cpu". That is, "cpu" will be the same as
"common_cpu" unless the event has a "cpu" field. In which case, the
event's field is used. The same is true with "stacktrace".
Also update the documentation to reflect this change.

- Make buffer_percent read/write. The buffer_percent file is how users can
state how long to block on the tracing buffer depending on how much
is in the buffer. When it hits the "buffer_percent" it will wake the
task waiting on the buffer. For some reason it was set to read-only.
This was not noticed because testing was done as root without SELinux,
but with SELinux it will prevent even root to write to it without having
CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE.
- The "touched_functions" was added this merge window, but one of the
reasons for adding it was not implemented. That was to show what functions
were not only touched, but had either a direct trampoline attached to
it, or a kprobe or live kernel patching that can "hijack" the function
to run a different function. The point is to know if there's functions
in the kernel that may not be behaving as the kernel code shows. This can
be used for debugging. TODO: Add this information to kernel oops too.

an "M" in the enabled_functions and touched_functions files. This can be

- User events are finally ready!
After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally locked
down on a stable interface for user events that can also work with user
space only tracing. This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user
space library, but that part is user space only and not part of this
patch set), where the variable is that the application uses to know if
something is listening to the trace. There's also an interface to tell
the kernel about these events, which will show up in the
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/ directory, where it can be
enabled. When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell
the application to start writing to the kernel.
See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/
- Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of
direct trampolines. Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but
instead of jumping to the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF)
can register their own trampoline for performance reasons.
- Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient than
kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that kprobes on
ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes will be exposed
as dynamic events.
- More updates to references to the obsolete path of
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path.
- Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer line
by line instead of all at once. There's users in production kernels that
have a large data dump that originally used printk() directly, but the
data dump was larger than what printk() allowed as a single print.
Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that.
- Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions that
was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used for
debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a crash by
a bpf program or live patching.
- Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields of
the events. It's easier to read by humans.
- Some minor fixes and clean ups.

Merge tag 'trace-v6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add function names as a way to filter function addresses
- Add sample module to test ftrace ops and dynamic trampolines
- Allow stack traces to be passed from beginning event to end event for
synthetic events. This will allow seeing the stack trace of when a
task is scheduled out and recorded when it gets scheduled back in.
- Add trace event helper __get_buf() to use as a temporary buffer when
printing out trace event output.
- Add kernel command line to create trace instances on boot up.
- Add enabling of events to instances created at boot up.
- Add trace_array_puts() to write into instances.
- Allow boot instances to take a snapshot at the end of boot up.
- Allow live patch modules to include trace events
- Minor fixes and clean ups

There are scenes that we want to show the character value of traced
arguments other than a decimal or hexadecimal or string value for debug
convinience. I add a new type named 'char' to do it and a new test case
file named 'kprobe_args_char.tc' to do selftest for char type.
For example:
The to be traced function is 'void demo_func(char type, char *name);', we
can add a kprobe event as follows to show argument values as we want:
echo 'p:myprobe demo_func $arg1:char +0($arg2):char[5]' > kprobe_events
we will get the following trace log:
... myprobe: (demo_func+0x0/0x29) arg1='A' arg2={'b','p','f','1',''}

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so
let's update them to avoid confusion.

There's been several times where an event records a function address in
its field and I needed to filter on that address for a specific function
name. It required looking up the function in kallsyms, finding its size,
and doing a compare of "field >= function_start && field < function_end".
But this would change from boot to boot and is unreliable in scripts.
Also, it is useful to have this at boot up, where the addresses will not
be known. For example, on the boot command line:
trace_trigger="initcall_finish.traceoff if func.function == acpi_init"
To implement this, add a ".function" prefix, that will check that the
field is of size long, and the only operations allowed (so far) are "=="
and "!=".

Add 'symstr' type for storing the kernel symbol as a string data
instead of the symbol address. This allows us to filter the
events by wildcard symbol name.
e.g.
# echo 'e:wqfunc workqueue.workqueue_execute_start symname=$function:symstr' >> dynamic_events
# cat events/eprobes/wqfunc/format
name: wqfunc
ID: 2110
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:__data_loc char[] symname; offset:8; size:4; signed:1;
print fmt: " symname=\"%s\"", __get_str(symname)
Note that there is already 'symbol' type which just change the
print format (so it still stores the symbol address in the tracing
ring buffer.) On the other hand, 'symstr' type stores the actual
"symbol+offset/size" data as a string.

Default value of maxactive is set as num_possible_cpus() for nonpreemptable
systems. For a 2-core system, only 2 kretprobe instances would be allocated
in default, then these 2 instances for execve kretprobe are very likely to
be used up with a pipelined command.
Here's the testcase: a shell script was added to crontab, and the content
of the script is:
#!/bin/sh
do_something_magic `tr -dc a-z < /dev/urandom | head -c 10`
cron will trigger a series of program executions (4 times every hour). Then
events loss would be noticed normally after 3-4 hours of testings.
The issue is caused by a burst of series of execve requests. The best number
of kretprobe instances could be different case by case, and should be user's
duty to determine, but num_possible_cpus() as the default value is inadequate
especially for systems with small number of cpus.
This patch enables the logic for preemption as default, thus increases the
minimum of maxactive to 10 for nonpreemptable systems.

Merge tag 'fs.ovl.setgid.v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping
Pull setgid inheritance updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to make setgid inheritance consistent between
modifying a file and when changing ownership or mode as this has been
a repeated source of very subtle bugs. The gist is that we perform the
same permission checks in the write path as we do in the ownership and
mode changing paths after this series where we're currently doing
different things.
We've already made setgid inheritance a lot more consistent and
reliable in the last releases by moving setgid stripping from the
individual filesystems up into the vfs. This aims to make the logic
even more consistent and easier to understand and also to fix
long-standing overlayfs setgid inheritance bugs. Miklos was nice
enough to just let me carry the trivial overlayfs patches from Amir
too.
Below is a more detailed explanation how the current difference in
setgid handling lead to very subtle bugs exemplified via overlayfs
which is a victim of the current rules. I hope this explains why I
think taking the regression risk here is worth it.
A long while ago I found a few setgid inheritance bugs in overlayfs in
the write path in certain conditions. Amir recently picked this back
up in [1] and I jumped on board to fix this more generally.
On the surface all that overlayfs would need to fix setgid inheritance
would be to call file_remove_privs() or file_modified() but actually
that isn't enough because the setgid inheritance api is wildly
inconsistent in that area.
Before this pr setgid stripping in file_remove_privs()'s old
should_remove_suid() helper was inconsistent with other parts of the
vfs. Specifically, it only raises ATTR_KILL_SGID if the inode is
S_ISGID and S_IXGRP but not if the inode isn't in the caller's groups
and the caller isn't privileged over the inode although we require
this already in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and so all
filesystem implement this requirement implicitly because they have to
use setattr_{prepare,copy}() anyway.
But the inconsistency shows up in setgid stripping bugs for overlayfs
in xfstests (e.g., generic/673, generic/683, generic/685, generic/686,
generic/687). For example, we test whether suid and setgid stripping
works correctly when performing various write-like operations as an
unprivileged user (fallocate, reflink, write, etc.):
echo "Test 1 - qa_user, non-exec file $verb"
setup_testfile
chmod a+rws $junk_file
commit_and_check "$qa_user" "$verb" 64k 64k
The test basically creates a file with 6666 permissions. While the
file has the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits set it does not have the S_IXGRP
set.
On a regular filesystem like xfs what will happen is:
sys_fallocate()
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> xfs_file_fallocate()
-> file_modified()
-> __file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
-> notify_change()
-> setattr_copy()
In should_remove_suid() we can see that ATTR_KILL_SUID is raised
unconditionally because the file in the test has S_ISUID set.
But we also see that ATTR_KILL_SGID won't be set because while the
file is S_ISGID it is not S_IXGRP (see above) which is a condition for
ATTR_KILL_SGID being raised.
So by the time we call notify_change() we have attr->ia_valid set to
ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_FORCE.
Now notify_change() sees that ATTR_KILL_SUID is set and does:
ia_valid = attr->ia_valid |= ATTR_MODE
attr->ia_mode = (inode->i_mode & ~S_ISUID);
which means that when we call setattr_copy() later we will definitely
update inode->i_mode. Note that attr->ia_mode still contains S_ISGID.
Now we call into the filesystem's ->setattr() inode operation which
will end up calling setattr_copy(). Since ATTR_MODE is set we will
hit:
if (ia_valid & ATTR_MODE) {
umode_t mode = attr->ia_mode;
vfsgid_t vfsgid = i_gid_into_vfsgid(mnt_userns, inode);
if (!vfsgid_in_group_p(vfsgid) &&
!capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(mnt_userns, inode, CAP_FSETID))
mode &= ~S_ISGID;
inode->i_mode = mode;
}
and since the caller in the test is neither capable nor in the group
of the inode the S_ISGID bit is stripped.
But assume the file isn't suid then ATTR_KILL_SUID won't be raised
which has the consequence that neither the setgid nor the suid bits
are stripped even though it should be stripped because the inode isn't
in the caller's groups and the caller isn't privileged over the inode.
If overlayfs is in the mix things become a bit more complicated and
the bug shows up more clearly.
When e.g., ovl_setattr() is hit from ovl_fallocate()'s call to
file_remove_privs() then ATTR_KILL_SUID and ATTR_KILL_SGID might be
raised but because the check in notify_change() is questioning the
ATTR_KILL_SGID flag again by requiring S_IXGRP for it to be stripped
the S_ISGID bit isn't removed even though it should be stripped:
sys_fallocate()
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> ovl_fallocate()
-> file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
-> notify_change()
-> ovl_setattr()
/* TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS */
-> ovl_do_notify_change()
-> notify_change()
/* GIVE UP MOUNTER'S CREDS */
/* TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS */
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> xfs_file_fallocate()
-> file_modified()
-> __file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = attr_force | kill;
-> notify_change()
The fix for all of this is to make file_remove_privs()'s
should_remove_suid() helper perform the same checks as we already
require in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and have
notify_change() not pointlessly requiring S_IXGRP again. It doesn't
make any sense in the first place because the caller must calculate
the flags via should_remove_suid() anyway which would raise
ATTR_KILL_SGID
Note that some xfstests will now fail as these patches will cause the
setgid bit to be lost in certain conditions for unprivileged users
modifying a setgid file when they would've been kept otherwise. I
think this risk is worth taking and I explained and mentioned this
multiple times on the list [2].
Enforcing the rules consistently across write operations and
chmod/chown will lead to losing the setgid bit in cases were it
might've been retained before.
While I've mentioned this a few times but it's worth repeating just to
make sure that this is understood. For the sake of maintainability,
consistency, and security this is a risk worth taking.
If we really see regressions for workloads the fix is to have special
setgid handling in the write path again with different semantics from
chmod/chown and possibly additional duct tape for overlayfs. I'll
update the relevant xfstests with if you should decide to merge this
second setgid cleanup.
Before that people should be aware that there might be failures for
fstests where unprivileged users modify a setgid file"
