Fixed two issues with changing the timestamp clock with trace_clock:
- The global buffer was reset on instance clock changes. Change this to pass
the correct per-instance buffer
- ftrace_now() is used to set buf->time_start in tracing_reset_online_cpus().
This was incorrect because ftrace_now() used the global buffer's clock to
return the current time. Change this to use buffer_ftrace_now() which
returns the current time for the correct per-instance buffer.
Also removed tracing_reset_current() because it is not used anywhere

Releasing the free_buffer file in an instance causes the global buffer
to be stopped when TRACE_ITER_STOP_ON_FREE is enabled. Operate on the
correct buffer.

tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains
a comment about that, but it doesn't help.
The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is
snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed.
The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to
cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was
converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask.
Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read
from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed.
The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe
can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

Uprobes suffer the same problem that kprobes have. There's a race between
writing to the "enable" file and removing the probe. The probe checks for
it being in use and if it is not, goes about deleting the probe and the
event that represents it. But the problem with that is, after it checks
if it is in use it can be enabled, and the deletion of the event (access
to the probe) will fail, as it is in use. But the uprobe will still be
deleted. This is a problem as the event can reference the uprobe that
was deleted.
The fix is to remove the event first, and check to make sure the event
removal succeeds. Then it is safe to remove the probe.
When the event exists, either ftrace or perf can enable the probe and
prevent the event from being removed.

When a probe is being removed, it cleans up the event files that correspond
to the probe. But there is a race between writing to one of these files
and deleting the probe. This is especially true for the "enable" file.

The unregister_trace_probe() must be done first, and if it fails it must
fail the removal of the kprobe.
Several changes have already been made by Oleg Nesterov and Masami Hiramatsu
to allow moving the unregister_probe_event() before the removal of
the probe and exit the function if it fails. This prevents the tp
structure from being used after it is freed.

The "break" used in the do_for_each_event_file() is used as an optimization
as the loop is really a double loop. The loop searches all event files
for each trace_array. There's only one matching event file per trace_array
and after we find the event file for the trace_array, the break is used
to jump to the next trace_array and start the search there.
As this is not a standard way of using "break" in C code, it requires
a comment right before the break to let people know what is going on.

Change trace_remove_event_call(call) to return the error if this
call is active. This is what the callers assume but can't verify
outside of the tracing locks. Both trace_kprobe.c/trace_uprobe.c
need the additional changes, unregister_trace_probe() should abort
if trace_remove_event_call() fails.
The caller is going to free this call/file so we must ensure that
nobody can use them after trace_remove_event_call() succeeds.
debugfs should be fine after the previous changes and event_remove()
does TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER, but still there are 2 reasons why we need
the additional checks:
- There could be a perf_event(s) attached to this tp_event, so the
patch checks ->perf_refcount.
- TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER can be suppressed by FTRACE_EVENT_FL_SOFT_MODE,
so we simply check FTRACE_EVENT_FL_ENABLED protected by event_mutex.

It was finally narrowed down to unloading a module that was being traced.
It was actually more than that. When functions are being traced, there's
a table of all functions that have a ref count of the number of active
tracers attached to that function. When a function trace callback is
registered to a function, the function's record ref count is incremented.
When it is unregistered, the function's record ref count is decremented.
If an inconsistency is detected (ref count goes below zero) the above
warning is shown and the function tracing is permanently disabled until
reboot.
The ftrace callback ops holds a hash of functions that it filters on
(and/or filters off). If the hash is empty, the default means to filter
all functions (for the filter_hash) or to disable no functions (for the
notrace_hash).
When a module is unloaded, it frees the function records that represent
the module functions. These records exist on their own pages, that is
function records for one module will not exist on the same page as
function records for other modules or even the core kernel.
Now when a module unloads, the records that represents its functions are
freed. When the module is loaded again, the records are recreated with
a default ref count of zero (unless there's a callback that traces all
functions, then they will also be traced, and the ref count will be
incremented).
The problem is that if an ftrace callback hash includes functions of the
module being unloaded, those hash entries will not be removed. If the
module is reloaded in the same location, the hash entries still point
to the functions of the module but the module's ref counts do not reflect
that.
With the help of Steve and Joern, we found a reproducer:
Using uinput module and uinput_release function.
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
modprobe uinput
echo uinput_release > set_ftrace_filter
echo function > current_tracer
rmmod uinput
modprobe uinput
# check /proc/modules to see if loaded in same addr, otherwise try again
echo nop > current_tracer
[BOOM]
The above loads the uinput module, which creates a table of functions that
can be traced within the module.
We add uinput_release to the filter_hash to trace just that function.
Enable function tracincg, which increments the ref count of the record
associated to uinput_release.
Remove uinput, which frees the records including the one that represents
uinput_release.
Load the uinput module again (and make sure it's at the same address).
This recreates the function records all with a ref count of zero,
including uinput_release.
Disable function tracing, which will decrement the ref count for uinput_release
which is now zero because of the module removal and reload, and we have
a mismatch (below zero ref count).
The solution is to check all currently tracing ftrace callbacks to see if any
are tracing any of the module's functions when a module is loaded (it already does
that with callbacks that trace all functions). If a callback happens to have
a module function being traced, it increments that records ref count and starts
tracing that function.
There may be a strange side effect with this, where tracing module functions
on unload and then reloading a new module may have that new module's functions
being traced. This may be something that confuses the user, but it's not
a big deal. Another approach is to disable all callback hashes on module unload,
but this leaves some ftrace callbacks that may not be registered, but can
still have hashes tracing the module's function where ftrace doesn't know about
it. That situation can cause the same bug. This solution solves that case too.
Another benefit of this solution, is it is possible to trace a module's
function on unload and load.

Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear ->i_private for every
file we are going to remove.
We need to check file->dir != NULL because event_create_dir()
can fail. debugfs_remove_recursive(NULL) is fine but the patch
moves it under the same check anyway for readability.
spin_lock(d_lock) and "d_inode != NULL" check are not needed
afaics, but I do not understand this code enough.
tracing_open_generic_file() and tracing_release_generic_file()
can go away, ftrace_enable_fops and ftrace_event_filter_fops()
use tracing_open_generic() but only to check tracing_disabled.
This fixes all races with event_remove() or instance_delete().
f_op->read/write/whatever can never use the freed file/call,
all event/* files were changed to check and use ->i_private
under event_mutex.
Note: this doesn't not fix other problems, event_remove() can
destroy the active ftrace_event_call, we need more changes but
those changes are completely orthogonal.

Commit a82274151af "tracing: Protect ftrace_trace_arrays list in trace_events.c"
added taking the trace_types_lock mutex in trace_events.c as there were
several locations that needed it for protection. Unfortunately, it also
encapsulated a call to tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() which also takes
the trace_types_lock, causing a deadlock.
This happens when a module has tracepoints and has been traced. When the
module is removed, the trace events module notifier will grab the
trace_types_lock, do a bunch of clean ups, and also clears the buffer
by calling tracing_reset_all_online_cpus. This doesn't happen often
which explains why it wasn't caught right away.
Commit a82274151af was marked for stable, which means this must be
sent to stable too.

If a ftrace ops is registered with the SAVE_REGS flag set, and there's
already a ops registered to one of its functions but without the
SAVE_REGS flag, there's a small race window where the SAVE_REGS ops gets
added to the list of callbacks to call for that function before the
callback trampoline gets set to save the regs.
The problem is, the function is not currently saving regs, which opens
a small race window where the ops that is expecting regs to be passed
to it, wont. This can cause a crash if the callback were to reference
the regs, as the SAVE_REGS guarantees that regs will be set.
To fix this, we add a check in the loop case where it checks if the ops
has the SAVE_REGS flag set, and if so, it will ignore it if regs is
not set.

As a side effect this also removes memset(per_cpu_memory, 0).

tracing_buffers_open() is racy, the memory inode->i_private points
to can be already freed.
Change debugfs_create_file("trace_pipe_raw", data) caller to pass
"data = tr", tracing_buffers_open() can use tracing_get_cpu().
Change debugfs_create_file("snapshot_raw_fops", data) caller too,
this file uses tracing_buffers_open/release.

Every "file_operations" used by tracing_init_debugfs_percpu is buggy.
f_op->open/etc does:
1. struct trace_cpu *tc = inode->i_private;
struct trace_array *tr = tc->tr;
2. trace_array_get(tr) or fail;
3. do_something(tc);
But tc (and tr) can be already freed before trace_array_get() is called.
And it doesn't matter whether this file is per-cpu or it was created by
init_tracer_debugfs(), free_percpu() or kfree() are equally bad.
Note that even 1. is not safe, the freed memory can be unmapped. But even
if it was safe trace_array_get() can wrongly succeed if we also race with
the next new_instance_create() which can re-allocate the same tr, or tc
was overwritten and ->tr points to the valid tr. In this case 3. uses the
freed/reused memory.
Add the new trivial helper, trace_create_cpu_file() which simply calls
trace_create_file() and encodes "cpu" in "struct inode". Another helper,
tracing_get_cpu() will be used to read cpu_nr-or-RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.
The patch abuses ->i_cdev to encode the number, it is never used unless
the file is S_ISCHR(). But we could use something else, say, i_bytes or
even ->d_fsdata. In any case this hack is hidden inside these 2 helpers,
it would be trivial to change them if needed.
This patch only changes tracing_init_debugfs_percpu() to use the new
trace_create_cpu_file(), the next patches will change file_operations.
Note: tracing_get_cpu(inode) is always safe but you can't trust the
result unless trace_array_get() was called, without trace_types_lock
which acts as a barrier it can wrongly return RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

event_id_read() has no reason to kmalloc "struct trace_seq"
(more than PAGE_SIZE!), it can use a small buffer instead.
Note: "if (*ppos) return 0" looks strange and even wrong,
simple_read_from_buffer() handles ppos != 0 case corrrectly.
And it seems that almost every user of trace_seq in this file
should be converted too. Unless you use seq_open(), trace_seq
buys nothing compared to the raw buffer, but it needs a bit
more memory and code.

f_next() looks overcomplicated, and it is not strictly correct
even if this doesn't matter.
Say, FORMAT_FIELD_SEPERATOR should not return NULL (means EOF)
if trace_get_fields() returns an empty list, we should simply
advance to FORMAT_PRINTFMT as we do when we find the end of list.
1. Change f_next() to return "struct list_head *" rather than
"ftrace_event_field *", and change f_show() to do list_entry().
This simplifies the code a bit, only f_show() needs to know
about ftrace_event_field, and f_next() can play with ->prev
directly
2. Change f_next() to not play with ->prev / return inside the
switch() statement. It can simply set node = head/common_head,
the prev-or-advance-to-the-next-magic below does all work.
While at it. f_start() looks overcomplicated too. I don't think
*pos == 0 makes sense as a separate case, just change this code
to do "while" instead of "do/while".
The patch also moves f_start() down, close to f_stop(). This is
purely cosmetic, just to make the locking added by the next patch
more clear/visible.

The selftest for function and function graph tracers are defined as
__init, as they are only executed at boot up. The "tracer" structs
that are associated to those tracers are not setup as __init as they
are used after boot. To stop mismatch warnings, those structures
need to be annotated with __ref_data.
Currently, the tracer structures are defined to __read_mostly, as they
do not really change. But in the future they should be converted to
consts, but that will take a little work because they have a "next"
pointer that gets updated when they are registered. That will have to
wait till the next major release.

Wait for disabling all running kprobe handlers when a kprobe
event is disabled, since the caller, trace_remove_event_call()
supposes that a removing event is disabled completely by

With this change, ftrace can ensure that there is no running

Every perf_trace_buf_prepare() caller does
WARN_ONCE(size > PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE, message) and "message" is
almost the same.
Shift this WARN_ONCE() into perf_trace_buf_prepare(). This changes
the meaning of _ONCE, but I think this is fine.

Pull tracing changes from Steven Rostedt:
"The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes
that were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have
been marked for stable.
As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN
about. These include:
New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the
function.
Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called
"traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any
WARN_ON() is triggered. This is useful if you want to debug what
caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the
ring buffer overwriting the data before you can disable it. There's
also a kernel command line option that will make this enabled at boot
up called the same thing"

While analyzing the code, I discovered that there's a potential race between
deleting a trace instance and setting events. There are a few races that can
occur if events are being traced as the buffer is being deleted. Mostly the
problem comes with freeing the descriptor used by the trace event callback.
To prevent problems like this, the events are disabled before the buffer is
deleted. The problem with the current solution is that the event_mutex is let
go between disabling the events and freeing the files, which means that the events
could be enabled again while the freeing takes place.

Commit a695cb58162 "tracing: Prevent deleting instances when they are being read"
tried to fix a race between deleting a trace instance and reading contents
of a trace file. But it wasn't good enough. The following could crash the kernel:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances
# ( while :; do mkdir foo; rmdir foo; done ) &
# ( while :; do echo 1 > foo/events/sched/sched_switch 2> /dev/null; done ) &
Luckily this can only be done by root user, but it should be fixed regardless.
The problem is that a delete of the file can happen after the write to the event
is opened, but before the enabling happens.
The solution is to make sure the trace_array is available before succeeding in
opening for write, and incerment the ref counter while opened.
Now the instance can be deleted when the events are writing to the buffer,
but the deletion of the instance will disable all events before the instance
is actually deleted.

The problem is that a delete of the file can happen after the reader starts
to open the file but before it grabs the trace_types_mutex.
The solution is to validate the trace array before using it. If the trace
array does not exist in the list of trace arrays, then it returns -ENODEV.
There's a possibility that a trace_array could be deleted and a new one
created and the open would open its file instead. But that is very minor as
it will just return the data of the new trace array, it may confuse the user
but it will not crash the system. As this can only be done by root anyway,
the race will only occur if root is deleting what its trying to read at
the same time.
