kernel_text_address() treats ftrace_trampoline, kprobe_insn_slot
and bpf_text_address as valid kprobe addresses - which is not ideal.
These text areas are removable and changeable without any notification
to kprobes, and probing on them can trigger unexpected behavior:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/7/26/1148
Considering that jump_label and static_call text are already
forbiden to probe, kernel_text_address() should be replaced with
core_kernel_text() and is_module_text_address() to check other text
areas which are unsafe to kprobe.

- The majority of the changes are for fixes and clean ups.
Noticeable changes:
- Rework trace event triggers code to be easier to interact with.
- Support for embedding bootconfig with the kernel (as suppose to having it
embedded in initram). This is useful for embedded boards without initram
disks.
- Speed up boot by parallelizing the creation of tracefs files.
- Allow absolute ring buffer timestamps handle timestamps that use more than
59 bits.
- Added new tracing clock "TAI" (International Atomic Time)
- Have weak functions show up in available_filter_function list as:
__ftrace_invalid_address___<invalid-offset>
instead of using the name of the function before it.

When building kernel with CONFIG_KRETPROBES=n kernel/kprobes.c
compilation fails with the following messages:
kernel/kprobes.c: In function ‘recycle_rp_inst’:

This came from the commit d741bf41d7 ("kprobes: Remove
kretprobe hash") which introduced get_kretprobe() and
kretprobe_instances member in task_struct when CONFIG_KRETPROBES=y,
but did not make recycle_rp_inst() and kprobe_flush_task()
depending on CONFIG_KRETPORBES.
Since those functions are only used for kretprobe, move those
functions into #ifdef CONFIG_KRETPROBE area.

The recent kernel change in 73f9b911fa ("kprobes: Use rethook for kretprobe
if possible"), introduced a potential NULL pointer dereference bug in the
KRETPROBE mechanism. The official Kprobes documentation defines that "Any or
all handlers can be NULL". Unfortunately, there is a missing return handler
verification to fulfill these requirements and can result in a NULL pointer
dereference bug.
This patch adds such verification in kretprobe_rethook_handler() function.

X86_KERNEL_IBT builds, change _kprobe_addr() to take an architecture

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.
Move sysctl_kprobes_optimization from kernel/sysctl.c to
kernel/kprobes.c. Use register_sysctl() to register the sysctl
interface.

The 'kprobe::data_size' is unsigned, thus it can not be negative. But if
user sets it enough big number (e.g. (size_t)-8), the result of 'data_size
+ sizeof(struct kretprobe_instance)' becomes smaller than sizeof(struct
kretprobe_instance) or zero. In result, the kretprobe_instance are
allocated without enough memory, and kretprobe accesses outside of
allocated memory.
To avoid this issue, introduce a max limitation of the
kretprobe::data_size. 4KB per instance should be OK.

kprobes initialization, but as a late initcall when kunit is
initialized. kprobes itself is initialized with an early initcall,
so the order is still correct.

In x86, the fake return address on the stack saved by
__kretprobe_trampoline() will be replaced with the real return
address after returning from trampoline_handler(). Before fixing
the return address, the real return address can be found in the
'current->kretprobe_instances'.
However, since there is a window between updating the
'current->kretprobe_instances' and fixing the address on the stack,
if an interrupt happens at that timing and the interrupt handler
does stacktrace, it may fail to unwind because it can not get
the correct return address from 'current->kretprobe_instances'.
This will eliminate that window by fixing the return address
right before updating 'current->kretprobe_instances'.

Since the ORC unwinder from pt_regs requires setting up regs->ip
correctly, set the correct return address to the regs->ip before
calling user kretprobe handler.
This allows the kretrprobe handler to trace stack from the
kretprobe's pt_regs by stack_trace_save_regs() (eBPF will do
this), instead of stack tracing from the handler context by
stack_trace_save() (ftrace will do this).

The __kretprobe_trampoline_handler() callback, called from low level
arch kprobes methods, has the 'trampoline_address' parameter, which is
entirely superfluous as it basically just replicates:
dereference_kernel_function_descriptor(kretprobe_trampoline)
In fact we had bugs in arch code where it wasn't replicated correctly.
So remove this superfluous parameter and use kretprobe_trampoline_addr()
instead.

Make it use 'kprobe_opcode_t *' for the 'addr' parameter and

Note that MAX_OPTIMIZED_LENGTH and RELATIVEJUMP_SIZE are defined

The function prepare_kprobe() is called during kprobe registration and
is responsible for ensuring any architecture related preparation for
the kprobe is done before returning.
One of two versions of prepare_kprobe() is chosen depending on the
availability of KPROBE_ON_FTRACE in the kernel configuration.
Simplify the code by dropping the version when KPROBE_ON_FTRACE is not
selected - instead relying on kprobe_ftrace() to return false when
KPROBE_ON_FTRACE is not set.

The "enabled" file provides a debugfs interface to arm / disarm
kprobes in the kernel. In order to parse the buffer containing the
values written from userspace, the callback manually parses the user
input to convert it to a boolean value.
As taking a string value from userspace and converting it to boolean
is a common operation, a helper kstrtobool_from_user() is already
available in the kernel. Update the callback to use the common helper
to parse the write buffer from userspace.

debugfs_create_file() takes a pointer argument that can be used during
file operation callbacks (accessible via i_private in the inode
structure). An obvious requirement is for the pointer to refer to
valid memory when used.
When creating the debugfs file to dynamically enable / disable
kprobes, a pointer to local variable is passed to
debugfs_create_file(); which will go out of scope when the init
function returns. The reason this hasn't triggered random memory
corruption is because the pointer is not accessed during the debugfs
file callbacks.
Since the enabled state is managed by the kprobes_all_disabled global

unnecessary) usage of local variable during debugfs_file_create() by

free_insn_page() in x86 and s390 is same with the common weak function in

is done by common code in vfree() of module_memfree(). So drop these two
duplicated strong functions and related comment, then mark the common one
in kernel/kprobes.c strong.

The reason for kprobe::fault_handler(), as given by their comment:
* We come here because instructions in the pre/post
* handler caused the page_fault, this could happen
* if handler tries to access user space by
* copy_from_user(), get_user() etc. Let the
* user-specified handler try to fix it first.
Is just plain bad. Those other handlers are ran from non-preemptible
context and had better use _nofault() functions. Also, there is no
upstream usage of this.

Some architectures like powerpc require a non standard
allocation of optinsn page, because module pages are
too far from the kernel for direct branches.
Define weak alloc_optinsn_page() and free_optinsn_page(), that
fall back on alloc_insn_page() and free_insn_page() when not
overridden by the architecture.

Commit 36dadef23f ("kprobes: Init kprobes in early_initcall")
moved the kprobe setup in early_initcall(), which includes kprobe
jump optimization.
The kprobes jump optimizer involves synchronize_rcu_tasks() which
depends on the ksoftirqd and rcu_spawn_tasks_*(). However, since
those are setup in core_initcall(), kprobes jump optimizer can not
run at the early_initcall().
To avoid this issue, make the kprobe optimization disabled in the
early_initcall() and enables it in subsys_initcall().
Note that non-optimized kprobes is still available after
early_initcall(). Only jump optimization is delayed.

Our system encountered a re-init error when re-registering same kretprobe,
where the kretprobe_instance in rp->free_instances is illegally accessed
after re-init.
Implementation to avoid re-registration has been introduced for kprobe
before, but lags for register_kretprobe(). We must check if kprobe has
been re-registered before re-initializing kretprobe, otherwise it will
destroy the data struct of kretprobe registered, which can lead to memory
leak, system crash, also some unexpected behaviors.
We use check_kprobe_rereg() to check if kprobe has been re-registered
before running register_kretprobe()'s body, for giving a warning message
and terminate registration process.

Fix kprobe_on_func_entry() returns error code instead of false so that
register_kretprobe() can return an appropriate error code.
append_trace_kprobe() expects the kprobe registration returns -ENOENT
when the target symbol is not found, and it checks whether the target
module is unloaded or not. If the target module doesn't exist, it
defers to probe the target symbol until the module is loaded.
However, since register_kretprobe() returns -EINVAL instead of -ENOENT
in that case, it always fail on putting the kretprobe event on unloaded
modules. e.g.
Kprobe event:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo p xfs:xfs_end_io >> kprobe_events
[ 16.515574] trace_kprobe: This probe might be able to register after target module is loaded. Continue.
Kretprobe event: (p -> r)
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo r xfs:xfs_end_io >> kprobe_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat error_log
[ 41.122514] trace_kprobe: error: Failed to register probe event
Command: r xfs:xfs_end_io
^
To fix this bug, change kprobe_on_func_entry() to detect symbol lookup
failure and return -ENOENT in that case. Otherwise it returns -EINVAL
or 0 (succeeded, given address is on the entry).

This gets rid of the task hash and it's related locking.

Since kprobe_event= cmdline option allows user to put kprobes on the
functions in initmem, kprobe has to make such probes gone after boot.
Currently the probes on the init functions in modules will be handled
by module callback, but the kernel init text isn't handled.
Without this, kprobes may access non-exist text area to disable or
remove it.

The in_nmi() check in pre_handler_kretprobe() is meant to avoid
recursion, and blindly assumes that anything NMI is recursive.
However, since commit:
9b38cc704e ("kretprobe: Prevent triggering kretprobe from within kprobe_flush_task")
there is a better way to detect and avoid actual recursion.
By setting a dummy kprobe, any actual exceptions will terminate early
(by trying to handle the dummy kprobe), and recursion will not happen.
Employ this to avoid the kretprobe_table_lock() recursion, replacing
the over-eager in_nmi() check.
