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.

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.

ftrace: Add MODIFIED flag to show if IPMODIFY or direct was attached

If a function had ever had IPMODIFY or DIRECT attached to it, where this
is how live kernel patching and BPF overrides work, mark them and display
an "M" in the enabled_functions and touched_functions files. This can be
used for debugging. If a function had been modified and later there's a bug

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.

Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that.

The summary of the changes for this pull requests is:
* Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement
* Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules
* My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc
module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which
proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace.
Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except
the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded
prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the
respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although
the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help*
reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup
issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable
kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have
been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to
just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup.
Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details
on this pull request.
The functional change change in this pull request is the very first
patch from Song Liu which replaces the struct module_layout with a new
struct module memory. The old data structure tried to put together all
types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new
one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each
one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the
future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes
they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory
areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the
merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle
of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found
for it.
Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by
using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific
dynamic debug information.
Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module
license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request
so to:
a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a
deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be
part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made
clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit.
Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching,
kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area
is active with no clear solution in sight.
b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal
of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags
In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op
for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible
modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit
8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin
or tristate.conf"). Nick has been working on this *for years* and
AFAICT I was the only one to suggest two alternatives to this approach
for tooling. The complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in
that we'd need a possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check
if the object being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever
lead to it being part of a module, and if so define a new define
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0]. A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've
suggested would be to have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new
-DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as well but that means getting kconfig symbol names
mapping to modules always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am
not aware of Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite
recently Josh Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and
BPF would benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as
well but for other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr)
patches were mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has
been dropped with no clear solution in sight [1].
In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could never
be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some
developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify
when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up,
and so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull
requests for this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after
rc3. LWN has good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and
the typical cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only
concrete blocker issue he ran into was that we should not remove the
MODULE_LICENSE() tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if
they can never be modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due
to having to do this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who
really did *not understand* the core of the issue nor were providing
any alternative / guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped
the patches which dropped the module license tags where an SPDX
license tag was missing, it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see
if a pull request deals with a file which lacks SPDX tags you
can just use:
./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \
$(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo)
You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above,
but that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX
license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but
it demonstrates the effectiveness of the script.
Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees,
and I just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out.
Those changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks.
The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules
were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on
a systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running
out of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only
consists of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is
already present and ready", proving that this was the best we can
do on the modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code.
The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been
in linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final
fix for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a
week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge
window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported
with larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking
a bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a
proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3]
of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge them,
but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this
instead.

Core
----
- Introduce a config option to tweak MAX_SKB_FRAGS. Increasing the
default value allows for better BIG TCP performances.
- Reduce compound page head access for zero-copy data transfers.
- RPS/RFS improvements, avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ when possible.
- Threaded NAPI improvements, adding defer skb free support and unneeded
softirq avoidance.
- Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues, via false
sharing avoidance and optimize refcount tracking.
- Add lockless accesses annotation to sk_err[_soft].
- Optimize again the skb struct layout.
- Extends the skb drop reasons to make it usable by multiple
subsystems.
- Better const qualifier awareness for socket casts.
BPF
---
- Add skb and XDP typed dynptrs which allow BPF programs for more
ergonomic and less brittle iteration through data and variable-sized
accesses.
- Add a new BPF netfilter program type and minimal support to hook
BPF programs to netfilter hooks such as prerouting or forward.
- Add more precise memory usage reporting for all BPF map types.
- Adds support for using {FOU,GUE} encap with an ipip device operating
in collect_md mode and add a set of BPF kfuncs for controlling encap
params.
- Allow BPF programs to detect at load time whether a particular kfunc
exists or not, and also add support for this in light skeleton.
- Bigger batch of BPF verifier improvements to prepare for upcoming BPF
open-coded iterators allowing for less restrictive looping capabilities.
- Rework RCU enforcement in the verifier, add kptr_rcu and enforce BPF
programs to NULL-check before passing such pointers into kfunc.
- Add support for kptrs in percpu hashmaps, percpu LRU hashmaps and in
local storage maps.
- Enable RCU semantics for task BPF kptrs and allow referenced kptr
tasks to be stored in BPF maps.
- Add support for refcounted local kptrs to the verifier for allowing
shared ownership, useful for adding a node to both the BPF list and
rbtree.
- Add BPF verifier support for ST instructions in convert_ctx_access()
which will help new -mcpu=v4 clang flag to start emitting them.
- Add ARM32 USDT support to libbpf.
- Improve bpftool's visual program dump which produces the control
flow graph in a DOT format by adding C source inline annotations.
Protocols
---------
- IPv4: Allow adding to IPv4 address a 'protocol' tag. Such value
indicates the provenance of the IP address.
- IPv6: optimize route lookup, dropping unneeded R/W lock acquisition.
- Add the handshake upcall mechanism, allowing the user-space
to implement generic TLS handshake on kernel's behalf.
- Bridge: support per-{Port, VLAN} neighbor suppression, increasing
resilience to nodes failures.
- SCTP: add support for Fair Capacity and Weighted Fair Queueing
schedulers.
- MPTCP: delay first subflow allocation up to its first usage. This
will allow for later better LSM interaction.
- xfrm: Remove inner/outer modes from input/output path. These are
not needed anymore.
- WiFi:
- reduced neighbor report (RNR) handling for AP mode
- HW timestamping support
- support for randomized auth/deauth TA for PASN privacy
- per-link debugfs for multi-link
- TC offload support for mac80211 drivers
- mac80211 mesh fast-xmit and fast-rx support
- enable Wi-Fi 7 (EHT) mesh support
Netfilter
---------
- Add nf_tables 'brouting' support, to force a packet to be routed
instead of being bridged.
- Update bridge netfilter and ovs conntrack helpers to handle
IPv6 Jumbo packets properly, i.e. fetch the packet length
from hop-by-hop extension header. This is needed for BIT TCP
support.
- The iptables 32bit compat interface isn't compiled in by default
anymore.
- Move ip(6)tables builtin icmp matches to the udptcp one.
This has the advantage that icmp/icmpv6 match doesn't load the
iptables/ip6tables modules anymore when iptables-nft is used.
- Extended netlink error report for netdevice in flowtables and
netdev/chains. Allow for incrementally add/delete devices to netdev
basechain. Allow to create netdev chain without device.
Driver API
----------
- Remove redundant Device Control Error Reporting Enable, as PCI core
has already error reporting enabled at enumeration time.
- Move Multicast DB netlink handlers to core, allowing devices other
then bridge to use them.
- Allow the page_pool to directly recycle the pages from safely
localized NAPI.
- Implement lockless TX queue stop/wake combo macros, allowing for
further code de-duplication and sanitization.
- Add YNL support for user headers and struct attrs.
- Add partial YNL specification for devlink.
- Add partial YNL specification for ethtool.
- Add tc-mqprio and tc-taprio support for preemptible traffic classes.
- Add tx push buf len param to ethtool, specifies the maximum number
of bytes of a transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the
underlying device.
- Add basic LED support for switch/phy.
- Add NAPI documentation, stop relaying on external links.
- Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier. This is a preparatory
work to make the hardware timestamping layer selectable by user
space.
- Add transceiver support and improve the error messages for CAN-FD
controllers.

In ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus, the buffer_size_kb write operation
may permanently fail if the cpu_online_mask changes between two
for_each_online_buffer_cpu loops. The number of increases and decreases
on both cpu_buffer->resize_disabled and cpu_buffer->record_disabled may be
inconsistent, causing some CPUs to have non-zero values for these atomic
variables after the function returns.
This issue can be reproduced by "echo 0 > trace" while hotplugging cpu.
After reproducing success, we can find out buffer_size_kb will not be
functional anymore.
To prevent leaving 'resize_disabled' and 'record_disabled' non-zero after
ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus returns, we ensure that each atomic variable
has been set up before atomic_sub() to it.

When event enablement changes, user_events attempts to update a bit in
the user process. If a fault is hit, an attempt to fault-in the page and
the write is retried if the page made it in. While this normally requires
a couple attempts, it is possible a bad user process could attempt to
cause infinite loops.
Ensure fault-in attempts either sync or async are limited to a max of 10
attempts for each update. When the max is hit, return -EFAULT so another
attempt is not made in all cases.

address and bit pair are registered multiple times in the same process,
it can cause undefined behavior when events are enabled/disabled.
When more than one are used, the bit could be turned off by another
event being disabled, while the original event is still enabled.
Prevent undefined behavior by checking the current mm to see if any
event has already been registered for the address and bit pair. Return
EADDRINUSE back to the user process if it's already being used.
Update ftrace self-test to ensure this occurs properly.

Both print_fields() and print_array() do not handle if dynamic data ends
at the last byte of the payload for both __dyn_loc and __rel_loc field
types. For __rel_loc, the offset was off by 4 bytes, leading to
incorrect strings and data being printed out. In print_array() the
buffer pos was missed from being advanced, which results in the first
payload byte being used as the offset base instead of the field offset.
Advance __rel_loc offset by 4 to ensure correct offset and advance pos
to the field offset to ensure correct data is displayed when printing
arrays. Change >= to > when checking if data is in-bounds, since it's
valid for dynamic data to include the last byte of the payload.
Example outputs for event 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:__rel_loc char text[]; offset:8; size:4; signed:1;

Users expect that events can be filtered by the kernel. User events
currently sets all event fields as FILTER_OTHER which limits to binary

Use filter_assign_type() to find the most appropriate filter

In error case, 'buffer_page' returned by rb_set_head_page() is NULL,
currently check '&buffer_page->list' is equivalent to check 'buffer_page'
due to 'list' is the first member of 'buffer_page', but suppose it is not

Since commit 8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.
So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.

not restored if error happened on calling ftrace_modify_direct_caller().
Then it can no longer find 'direct' by that 'old_addr'.
To fix it, restore 'direct->addr' to 'old_addr' explicitly in error path.

The kernel command line ftrace_boot_snapshot by itself is supposed to
trigger a snapshot at the end of boot up of the main top level trace
buffer. A ftrace_boot_snapshot=foo will do the same for an instance called
foo that was created by trace_instance=foo,...
The logic was broken where if ftrace_boot_snapshot was by itself, it would
trigger a snapshot for all instances that had tracing enabled, regardless
if it asked for a snapshot or not.
When a snapshot is requested for a buffer, the buffer's
tr->allocated_snapshot is set to true. Use that to know if a trace buffer
wants a snapshot at boot up or not.
Since the top level buffer is part of the ftrace_trace_arrays list,
there's no reason to treat it differently than the other buffers. Just
iterate the list if ftrace_boot_snapshot was specified.

If a trace instance has a failure with its snapshot code, the error
message is to be written to that instance's buffer. But currently, the
message is written to the top level buffer. Worse yet, it may also disable
the top level buffer and not the instance that had the issue.

When user reads file 'trace_pipe', kernel keeps printing following logs
that warn at "cpu_buffer->reader_page->read > rb_page_size(reader)" in
rb_get_reader_page(). It just looks like there's an infinite loop in
tracing_read_pipe(). This problem occurs several times on arm64 platform
when testing v5.10 and below.
Call trace:
rb_get_reader_page+0x248/0x1300
rb_buffer_peek+0x34/0x160
ring_buffer_peek+0xbc/0x224
peek_next_entry+0x98/0xbc
__find_next_entry+0xc4/0x1c0
trace_find_next_entry_inc+0x30/0x94
tracing_read_pipe+0x198/0x304
vfs_read+0xb4/0x1e0
ksys_read+0x74/0x100
__arm64_sys_read+0x24/0x30
el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x7c/0x1bc
do_el0_svc+0x2c/0x94
el0_svc+0x20/0x30
el0_sync_handler+0xb0/0xb4
el0_sync+0x160/0x180
Then I dump the vmcore and look into the problematic per_cpu ring_buffer,
I found that tail_page/commit_page/reader_page are on the same page while
reader_page->read is obviously abnormal:
tail_page == commit_page == reader_page == {
.write = 0x100d20,
.read = 0x8f9f4805, // Far greater than 0xd20, obviously abnormal!!!
.entries = 0x10004c,
.real_end = 0x0,
.page = {
.time_stamp = 0x857257416af0,
.commit = 0xd20, // This page hasn't been full filled.
// .data[0...0xd20] seems normal.
}
}
The root cause is most likely the race that reader and writer are on the
same page while reader saw an event that not fully committed by writer.
To fix this, add memory barriers to make sure the reader can see the
content of what is committed. Since commit a0fcaaed0c ("ring-buffer: Fix
race between reset page and reading page") has added the read barrier in
rb_get_reader_page(), here we just need to add the write barrier.

asynchronously when multiple users manipulate synthetic_events node
at the same time, it could lead to use-after-free or double-free.
This patch add "lastcmd_mutex" to prevent "last_cmd" from being accessed
asynchronously.
================================================================
It's easy to reproduce in the KASAN environment by running the two
scripts below in different shells.
script 1:
while :
do
echo -n -e '\x88' > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
done
script 2:
while :
do
echo -n -e '\xb0' > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
done
================================================================
double-free scenario:
process A process B
------------------- ---------------
1.kstrdup last_cmd
2.free last_cmd
3.free last_cmd(double-free)
================================================================
use-after-free scenario:
process A process B
------------------- ---------------
1.kstrdup last_cmd
2.free last_cmd
3.tracing_log_err(use-after-free)

The user events was added a bit prematurely, and there were a few kernel
developers that had issues with it. The API also needed a bit of work to
make sure it would be stable. It was decided to make user events "broken"
until this was settled. Now it has a new API that appears to be as stable
as it will be without the use of a crystal ball. It's being used within
Microsoft as is, which means the API has had some testing in real world
use cases. It went through many discussions in the bi-weekly tracing
meetings, and there's been no more comments about updates.
I feel this is good to go.

Operators want to be able to ensure enough tracepoints exist on the
system for kernel components as well as for user components. Since there
are only up to 64K events, by default allow up to half to be used by
user events.
Add a kernel sysctl parameter (kernel.user_events_max) to set a global
limit that is honored among all groups on the system. This ensures hard
limits can be setup to prevent user processes from consuming all event
IDs on the system.

Operators need a way to limit how much memory cgroups use. User events need
to be included into that accounting. Fix this by using GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT
for allocations generated by user programs for user_event tracing.

Enablements are now tracked by the lifetime of the task/mm. User
processes need to be able to disable their addresses if tracing is
requested to be turned off. Before unmapping the page would suffice.
However, we now need a stronger contract. Add an ioctl to enable this.
A new flag bit is added, freeing, to user_event_enabler to ensure that
if the event is attempted to be removed while a fault is being handled
that the remove is delayed until after the fault is reattempted.

When events are enabled within the various tracing facilities, such as
ftrace/perf, the event_mutex is held. As events are enabled pages are
accessed. We do not want page faults to occur under this lock. Instead
queue the fault to a workqueue to be handled in a process context safe
way without the lock.
The enable address is marked faulting while the async fault-in occurs.
This ensures that we don't attempt to fault-in more than is necessary.
Once the page has been faulted in, an address write is re-attempted.
If the page couldn't fault-in, then we wait until the next time the
event is enabled to prevent any potential infinite loops.

As part of the discussions for user_events aligned with user space
tracers, it was determined that user programs should register a aligned
value to set or clear a bit when an event becomes enabled. Currently a
shared page is being used that requires mmap(). Remove the shared page
implementation and move to a user registered address implementation.
In this new model during the event registration from user programs 3 new
values are specified. The first is the address to update when the event
is either enabled or disabled. The second is the bit to set/clear to
reflect the event being enabled. The third is the size of the value at
the specified address.
This allows for a local 32/64-bit value in user programs to support
both kernel and user tracers. As an example, setting bit 31 for kernel
tracers when the event becomes enabled allows for user tracers to use
the other bits for ref counts or other flags. The kernel side updates
the bit atomically, user programs need to also update these values
atomically.
User provided addresses must be aligned on a natural boundary, this
allows for single page checking and prevents odd behaviors such as a
enable value straddling 2 pages instead of a single page. Currently
page faults are only logged, future patches will handle these.

The UAPI parts need to be split out from the kernel parts of user_events
now that other parts of the kernel will reference it. Do so by moving
the existing include/linux/user_events.h into
include/uapi/linux/user_events.h.

When debugging a crash that appears to be related to ftrace, but not for
sure, it is useful to know if a function was ever enabled by ftrace or
not. It could be that a BPF program was attached to it, or possibly a live
patch.
We are having crashes in the field where this information is not always
known. But having ftrace set a flag if a function has ever been attached
since boot up helps tremendously in trying to know if a crash had to do
with something using ftrace.
For analyzing crashes, the use of a kdump image can have access to the
flags. When looking at issues where the kernel did not panic, the
touched_functions file can simply be used.

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old.
x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change
saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in
front of cmpxchg).
Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg
fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.
No functional change intended.
