2024-05-04eventfs: Have "events" directory get permissions from its parentSteven Rostedt (Google)
The events directory gets its permissions from the root inode. But this can cause an inconsistency if the instances directory changes its permissions, as the permissions of the created directories under it should inherit the permissions of the instances directory when directories under it are created. Currently the behavior is: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # chgrp 1002 instances # mkdir instances/foo # ls -l instances/foo [..] -r--r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 buffer_total_size_kb -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 error_log drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 May 1 18:55 events --w------- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 free_buffer drwxr-x--- 2 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 options drwxr-x--- 10 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 per_cpu -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:55 set_event All the files and directories under "foo" has the "lkp" group except the "events" directory. That's because its getting its default value from the mount point instead of its parent. Have the "events" directory make its default value based on its parent's permissions. That now gives: # ls -l instances/foo [..] -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 buffer_subbuf_size_kb -r--r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 buffer_total_size_kb -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 error_log drwxr-xr-x 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 events --w------- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 free_buffer drwxr-x--- 2 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 options drwxr-x--- 10 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 per_cpu -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:16 set_event Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240502200906.161887248@goodmis.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Fixes: 8186fff7ab649 ("tracefs/eventfs: Use root and instance inodes as default ownership") Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2024-05-04eventfs: Do not treat events directory different than other directoriesSteven Rostedt (Google)
Treat the events directory the same as other directories when it comes to permissions. The events directory was considered different because it's dentry is persistent, whereas the other directory dentries are created when accessed. But the way tracefs now does its ownership by using the root dentry's permissions as the default permissions, the events directory can get out of sync when a remount is performed setting the group and user permissions. Remove the special case for the events directory on setting the attributes. This allows the updates caused by remount to work properly as well as simplifies the code.

2024-05-04tracefs: Still use mount point as default permissions for instancesSteven Rostedt (Google)
If the instances directory's permissions were never change, then have it and its children use the mount point permissions as the default. Currently, the permissions of instance directories are determined by the instance directory's permissions itself. But if the tracefs file system is remounted and changes the permissions, the instance directory and its children should use the new permission. But because both the instance directory and its children use the instance directory's inode for permissions, it misses the update. To demonstrate this: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ # mkdir instances/foo # ls -ld instances/foo drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:07 instances/foo # ls -ld instances drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 18:57 instances # ls -ld current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 18:57 current_tracer # mount -o remount,gid=1002 . # ls -ld instances drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 18:57 instances # ls -ld instances/foo/ drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:07 instances/foo/ # ls -ld current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:57 current_tracer Notice that changing the group id to that of "lkp" did not affect the instances directory nor its children. It should have been: # ls -ld current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 19:19 current_tracer # ls -ld instances/foo/ drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:25 instances/foo/ # ls -ld instances drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 19:19 instances # mount -o remount,gid=1002 . # ls -ld current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 19:19 current_tracer # ls -ld instances drwxr-x--- 3 root lkp 0 May 1 19:19 instances # ls -ld instances/foo/ drwxr-x--- 5 root lkp 0 May 1 19:25 instances/foo/ Where all files were updated by the remount gid update.

2024-05-04tracefs: Reset permissions on remount if permissions are optionsSteven Rostedt (Google)
There's an inconsistency with the way permissions are handled in tracefs. Because the permissions are generated when accessed, they default to the root inode's permission if they were never set by the user. If the user sets the permissions, then a flag is set and the permissions are saved via the inode (for tracefs files) or an internal attribute field (for eventfs). But if a remount happens that specify the permissions, all the files that were not changed by the user gets updated, but the ones that were are not. If the user were to remount the file system with a given permission, then all files and directories within that file system should be updated. This can cause security issues if a file's permission was updated but the admin forgot about it. They could incorrectly think that remounting with permissions set would update all files, but miss some. For example: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # chgrp 1002 current_tracer # ls -l [..] -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_size_kb -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_subbuf_size_kb -r--r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_total_size_kb -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:25 current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 dynamic_events -r--r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 dyn_ftrace_total_info -r--r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 enabled_functions Where current_tracer now has group "lkp". # mount -o remount,gid=1001 . # ls -l -rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_size_kb -rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_subbuf_size_kb -r--r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_total_size_kb -rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:25 current_tracer -rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 dynamic_events -r--r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 dyn_ftrace_total_info -r--r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 enabled_functions Everything changed but the "current_tracer". Add a new link list that keeps track of all the tracefs_inodes which has the permission flags that tell if the file/dir should use the root inode's permission or not. Then on remount, clear all the flags so that the default behavior of using the root inode's permission is done for all files and directories.

2024-05-04eventfs: Free all of the eventfs_inode after RCUSteven Rostedt (Google)
The freeing of eventfs_inode via a kfree_rcu() callback. But the content of the eventfs_inode was being freed after the last kref. This is dangerous, as changes are being made that can access the content of an eventfs_inode from an RCU loop. Instead of using kfree_rcu() use call_rcu() that calls a function to do all the freeing of the eventfs_inode after a RCU grace period has expired.

2024-05-04eventfs/tracing: Add callback for release of an eventfs_inodeSteven Rostedt (Google)
Synthetic events create and destroy tracefs files when they are created and removed. The tracing subsystem has its own file descriptor representing the state of the events attached to the tracefs files. There's a race between the eventfs files and this file descriptor of the tracing system where the following can cause an issue: With two scripts 'A' and 'B' doing: Script 'A': echo "hello int aaa" > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events while : do echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/hello/enable done Script 'B': echo > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events Script 'A' creates a synthetic event "hello" and then just writes zero into its enable file. Script 'B' removes all synthetic events (including the newly created "hello" event). What happens is that the opening of the "enable" file has: { struct trace_event_file *file = inode->i_private; int ret; ret = tracing_check_open_get_tr(file->tr); [..] But deleting the events frees the "file" descriptor, and a "use after free" happens with the dereference at "file->tr". The file descriptor does have a reference counter, but there needs to be a way to decrement it from the eventfs when the eventfs_inode is removed that represents this file descriptor. Add an optional "release" callback to the eventfs_entry array structure, that gets called when the eventfs file is about to be removed. This allows for the creating on the eventfs file to increment the tracing file descriptor ref counter. When the eventfs file is deleted, it can call the release function that will call the put function for the tracing file descriptor. This will protect the tracing file from being freed while a eventfs file that references it is being opened.

2024-02-01eventfs: Keep all directory links at 1Steven Rostedt (Google)
The directory link count in eventfs was somewhat bogus. It was only being updated when a directory child was being looked up and not on creation. One solution would be to update in get_attr() the link count by iterating the ei->children list and then adding 2. But that could slow down simple stat() calls, especially if it's done on all directories in eventfs. Another solution would be to add a parent pointer to the eventfs_inode and keep track of the number of sub directories it has on creation. But this adds overhead for something not really worthwhile. The solution decided upon is to keep all directory links in eventfs as 1. This tells user space not to rely on the hard links of directories. Which in this case it shouldn't.

2024-02-01eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcountsLinus Torvalds
The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei. This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any random dentry. The magic child dentry array that is kind of a "reverse reference list" is simply replaced by having child dentries take a ref to the ei. As does the directory dentries. That makes the broken use case go away.

2024-02-01eventfs: Clean up dentry ops and add revalidate functionLinus Torvalds
In order for the dentries to stay up-to-date with the eventfs changes, just add a 'd_revalidate' function that checks the 'is_freed' bit. Also, clean up the dentry release to actually use d_release() rather than the slightly odd d_iput() function. We don't care about the inode, all we want to do is to get rid of the refcount to the eventfs data added by dentry->d_fsdata. It would probably be cleaner to make eventfs its own filesystem, or at least set its own dentry ops when looking up eventfs files. But as it is, only eventfs dentries use d_fsdata, so we don't really need to split these things up by use. Another thing that might be worth doing is to make all eventfs lookups mark their dentries as not worth caching. We could do that with d_delete(), but the DCACHE_DONTCACHE flag would likely be even better. As it is, the dentries are all freeable, but they only tend to get freed at memory pressure rather than more proactively. But that's a separate issue.

2024-02-01tracefs: dentry lookup crapectomyLinus Torvalds
The dentry lookup for eventfs files was very broken, and had lots of signs of the old situation where the filesystem names were all created statically in the dentry tree, rather than being looked up dynamically based on the eventfs data structures. You could see it in the naming - how it claimed to "create" dentries rather than just look up the dentries that were given it. You could see it in various nonsensical and very incorrect operations, like using "simple_lookup()" on the dentries that were passed in, which only results in those dentries becoming negative dentries.

2024-01-31tracefs: Avoid using the ei->dentry pointer unnecessarilyLinus Torvalds
The eventfs_find_events() code tries to walk up the tree to find the event directory that a dentry belongs to, in order to then find the eventfs inode that is associated with that event directory. However, it uses an odd combination of walking the dentry parent, looking up the eventfs inode associated with that, and then looking up the dentry from there. Repeat. But the code shouldn't have back-pointers to dentries in the first place, and it should just walk the dentry parenthood chain directly. Similarly, 'set_top_events_ownership()' looks up the dentry from the eventfs inode, but the only reason it wants a dentry is to look up the superblock in order to look up the root dentry. But it already has the real filesystem inode, which has that same superblock pointer. So just pass in the superblock pointer using the information that's already there, instead of looking up extraneous data that is irrelevant.

2024-01-31tracefs: Zero out the tracefs_inode when allocating itSteven Rostedt (Google)
eventfs uses the tracefs_inode and assumes that it's already initialized to zero. That is, it doesn't set fields to zero (like ti->private) after getting its tracefs_inode. This causes bugs due to stale values. Just initialize the entire structure to zero on allocation so there isn't any more surprises. This is a partial fix to access to ti->private.

2024-01-23eventfs: Save directory inodes in the eventfs_inode structureSteven Rostedt (Google)
The eventfs inodes and directories are allocated when referenced. But this leaves the issue of keeping consistent inode numbers and the number is only saved in the inode structure itself. When the inode is no longer referenced, it can be freed. When the file that the inode was representing is referenced again, the inode is once again created, but the inode number needs to be the same as it was before. Just making the inode numbers the same for all files is fine, but that does not work with directories. The find command will check for loops via the inode number and having the same inode number for directories triggers: # find /sys/kernel/tracing find: File system loop detected; '/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/initcall/initcall_finish' is part of the same file system loop as '/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/initcall'. [..] Linus pointed out that the eventfs_inode structure ends with a single 32bit int, and on 64 bit machines, there's likely a 4 byte hole due to alignment. We can use this hole to store the inode number for the eventfs_inode. All directories in eventfs are represented by an eventfs_inode and that data structure can hold its inode number. That last int was also purposely placed at the end of the structure to prevent holes from within. Now that there's a 4 byte number to hold the inode, both the inode number and the last integer can be moved up in the structure for better cache locality, where the llist and rcu fields can be moved to the end as they are only used when the eventfs_inode is being deleted.

2024-01-16eventfs: Use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc()Erick Archer
As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes, and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar) function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors. So, use the purpose specific kcalloc() function instead of the argument size * count in the kzalloc() function.

2024-01-16eventfs: Do not create dentries nor inodes in iterate_sharedSteven Rostedt (Google)
The original eventfs code added a wrapper around the dcache_readdir open callback and created all the dentries and inodes at open, and increment their ref count. A wrapper was added around the dcache_readdir release function to decrement all the ref counts of those created inodes and dentries. But this proved to be buggy[1] for when a kprobe was created during a dir read, it would create a dentry between the open and the release, and because the release would decrement all ref counts of all files and directories, that would include the kprobe directory that was not there to have its ref count incremented in open. This would cause the ref count to go to negative and later crash the kernel. To solve this, the dentries and inodes that were created and had their ref count upped in open needed to be saved. That list needed to be passed from the open to the release, so that the release would only decrement the ref counts of the entries that were incremented in the open. Unfortunately, the dcache_readdir logic was already using the file->private_data, which is the only field that can be used to pass information from the open to the release. What was done was the eventfs created another descriptor that had a void pointer to save the dcache_readdir pointer, and it wrapped all the callbacks, so that it could save the list of entries that had their ref counts incremented in the open, and pass it to the release. The wrapped callbacks would just put back the dcache_readdir pointer and call the functions it used so it could still use its data[2]. But Linus had an issue with the "hijacking" of the file->private_data (unfortunately this discussion was on a security list, so no public link). Which we finally agreed on doing everything within the iterate_shared callback and leave the dcache_readdir out of it[3]. All the information needed for the getents() could be created then. But this ended up being buggy too[4]. The iterate_shared callback was not the right place to create the dentries and inodes. Even Christian Brauner had issues with that[5]. An attempt was to go back to creating the inodes and dentries at the open, create an array to store the information in the file->private_data, and pass that information to the other callbacks.[6] The difference between that and the original method, is that it does not use dcache_readdir. It also does not up the ref counts of the dentries and pass them. Instead, it creates an array of a structure that saves the dentry's name and inode number. That information is used in the iterate_shared callback, and the array is freed in the dir release. The dentries and inodes created in the open are not used for the iterate_share or release callbacks. Just their names and inode numbers. Linus did not like that either[7] and just wanted to remove the dentries being created in iterate_shared and use the hard coded inode numbers.

2024-01-04eventfs: Do ctx->pos update for all iterations in eventfs_iterate()Steven Rostedt (Google)
The ctx->pos was only updated when it added an entry, but the "skip to current pos" check (c--) happened for every loop regardless of if the entry was added or not. This inconsistency caused readdir to be incorrect. It was due to: for (i = 0; i < ei->nr_entries; i++) { if (c > 0) { c--; continue; } mutex_lock(&eventfs_mutex); /* If ei->is_freed then just bail here, nothing more to do */ if (ei->is_freed) { mutex_unlock(&eventfs_mutex); goto out; } r = entry->callback(name, &mode, &cdata, &fops); mutex_unlock(&eventfs_mutex); [..] ctx->pos++; } But this can cause the iterator to return a file that was already read. That's because of the way the callback() works. Some events may not have all files, and the callback can return 0 to tell eventfs to skip the file for this directory. for instance, we have: # ls /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/function format hist hist_debug id inject and # ls /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/ enable filter format hist hist_debug id inject trigger Where the function directory is missing "enable", "filter" and "trigger". That's because the callback() for events has: static int event_callback(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data, const struct file_operations **fops) { struct trace_event_file *file = *data; struct trace_event_call *call = file->event_call; [..] /* * Only event directories that can be enabled should have * triggers or filters, with the exception of the "print" * event that can have a "trigger" file. */ if (!(call->flags & TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE)) { if (call->class->reg && strcmp(name, "enable") == 0) { *mode = TRACE_MODE_WRITE; *fops = &ftrace_enable_fops; return 1; } if (strcmp(name, "filter") == 0) { *mode = TRACE_MODE_WRITE; *fops = &ftrace_event_filter_fops; return 1; } } if (!(call->flags & TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE) || strcmp(trace_event_name(call), "print") == 0) { if (strcmp(name, "trigger") == 0) { *mode = TRACE_MODE_WRITE; *fops = &event_trigger_fops; return 1; } } [..] return 0; } Where the function event has the TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE set. This means that the entries array elements for "enable", "filter" and "trigger" when called on the function event will have the callback return 0 and not 1, to tell eventfs to skip these files for it. Because the "skip to current ctx->pos" check happened for all entries, but the ctx->pos++ only happened to entries that exist, it would confuse the reading of a directory. Which would cause: # ls /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/function/ format hist hist hist_debug hist_debug id inject inject The missing "enable", "filter" and "trigger" caused ls to show "hist", "hist_debug" and "inject" twice. Update the ctx->pos for every iteration to keep its update and the "skip" update consistent. This also means that on error, the ctx->pos needs to be decremented if it was incremented without adding something.

Instead of walking the dentries on mount/remount to update the gid values of all the dentries if a gid option is specified on mount, just update the root inode. Add .getattr, .setattr, and .permissions on the tracefs inode operations to update the permissions of the files and directories. For all files and directories in the top level instance: /sys/kernel/tracing/* It will use the root inode as the default permissions. The inode that represents: /sys/kernel/tracing (or wherever it is mounted). When an instance is created: mkdir /sys/kernel/tracing/instance/foo The directory "foo" and all its files and directories underneath will use the default of what foo is when it was created. A remount of tracefs will not affect it. If a user were to modify the permissions of any file or directory in tracefs, it will also no longer be modified by a change in ownership of a remount. The events directory, if it is in the top level instance, will use the tracefs root inode as the default ownership for itself and all the files and directories below it. For the events directory in an instance ("foo"), it will keep the ownership of what it was when it was created, and that will be used as the default ownership for the files and directories beneath it.

If not, then it's not a tracefs_inode and can be ignored. The following caused a crash: #define getdents64(fd, dirp, count) syscall(SYS_getdents64, fd, dirp, count) #define BUF_SIZE 256 #define TDIR "/tmp/file0" int main(void) { char buf[BUF_SIZE]; int fd; int n; mkdir(TDIR, 0777); mount(NULL, TDIR, "tracefs", 0, NULL); fd = openat(AT_FDCWD, TDIR, O_RDONLY); n = getdents64(fd, buf, BUF_SIZE); ret = mount(NULL, TDIR, NULL, MS_NOSUID|MS_REMOUNT|MS_RELATIME|MS_LAZYTIME, "gid=1000"); return 0; } That's because the 256 BUF_SIZE was not big enough to read all the dentries of the tracefs file system and it left a "cursor" dentry in the subdirs of the tracefs root inode. Then on remounting with "gid=1000", it would cause an iteration of all dentries which hit: ti = get_tracefs(dentry->d_inode); if (ti && (ti->flags & TRACEFS_EVENT_INODE)) eventfs_update_gid(dentry, gid); Which crashed because of the dereference of the cursor dentry which had a NULL d_inode. In the subdir loop of the dentry lookup of set_gid(), if a child has a NULL d_inode, simply skip it.

2023-12-22eventfs: Fix file and directory uid and gid ownershipSteven Rostedt (Google)
It was reported that when mounting the tracefs file system with a gid other than root, the ownership did not carry down to the eventfs directory due to the dynamic nature of it. A fix was done to solve this, but it had two issues. (a) if the attr passed into update_inode_attr() was NULL, it didn't do anything. This is true for files that have not had a chown or chgrp done to itself or any of its sibling files, as the attr is allocated for all children when any one needs it. # umount /sys/kernel/tracing # mount -o rw,seclabel,relatime,gid=1000 -t tracefs nodev /mnt # ls -ld /mnt/events/sched drwxr-xr-x 28 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/ # ls -ld /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch drwxr-xr-x 2 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch/ But when checking the files: # ls -l /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch total 0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 enable -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 filter -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 format -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 hist -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 id -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 trigger (b) When the attr does not denote the UID or GID, it defaulted to using the parent uid or gid. This is incorrect as changing the parent uid or gid will automatically change all its children. # chgrp tracing /mnt/events/timer # ls -ld /mnt/events/timer drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:34 /mnt/events/timer # ls -l /mnt/events/timer total 0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 14:35 enable -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 14:35 filter drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_cancel drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_expire_entry drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_expire_exit drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_init drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_start drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 itimer_expire drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 itimer_state drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 tick_stop drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_cancel drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_expire_entry drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_expire_exit drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_init drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_start At first it was thought that this could be easily fixed by just making the default ownership of the superblock when it was mounted. But this does not handle the case of: # chgrp tracing instances # mkdir instances/foo If the superblock was used, then the group ownership would be that of what it was when it was mounted, when it should instead be "tracing". Instead, set a flag for the top level eventfs directory ("events") to flag which eventfs_inode belongs to it. Since the "events" directory's dentry and inode are never freed, it does not need to use its attr field to restore its mode and ownership. Use the this eventfs_inode's attr as the default ownership for all the files and directories underneath it. When the events eventfs_inode is created, it sets its ownership to its parent uid and gid. As the events directory is created at boot up before it gets mounted, this will always be uid=0 and gid=0. If it's created via an instance, then it will take the ownership of the instance directory. When the file system is mounted, it will update all the gids if one is specified. This will have a callback to update the events evenfs_inode's default entries. When a file or directory is created under the events directory, it will walk the ei->dentry parents until it finds the evenfs_inode that belongs to the events directory to retrieve the default uid and gid values.

Dongliang reported: I found that in the latest version, the nodes of tracefs have been changed to dynamically created.

Eventfs uses simple_lookup(), however, it will fail if the name of the entry is beyond NAME_MAX length. When this error is encountered, eventfs still tries to create dentries instead of skipping the dentry creation. When the dentry is attempted to be created in this state d_wait_lookup() will loop forever, waiting for the lookup to be removed. Fix eventfs to return the error in simple_lookup() back to the caller instead of continuing to try to create the dentry.

The both create_file_dentry() and create_dir_dentry() takes a boolean parameter "lookup", as on lookup the inode_lock should already be taken, but for dcache_dir_open_wrapper() it is not taken. There's no reason that the dcache_dir_open_wrapper() can't take the inode_lock before calling these functions. In fact, it's better if it does, as the lock can be held throughout both directory and file creations. This also simplifies the code, and possibly prevents unexpected race conditions when the lock is released.

There's no need to do clean ups when a dentry is being created while the directory is being deleted. As dentries are cleaned up by the simpler_recursive_removal(), trying to do d_invalidate() in these functions will cause the dentry to be invalidated twice, and crash the kernel.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Remove eventfs_file descriptor This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs create its files dynamically. In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and file inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The directories were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files were represented by a eventfs_file. In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format", etc files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf eventfs directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a callback. When an event is added to the eventfs, it registers an array of evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and the callbacks to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets the name so that the same callback may be used by multiple files. The callback then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed to create this file. This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs instances down by 2 megs each! - User events now has persistent events that are not associated to a single processes. These are privileged events that hang around even if no process is attached to them - Clean up of seq_buf There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and friends. But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf to be able to do this - Expand instance ring buffers individually Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU).

2023-11-02eventfs: Use simple_recursive_removal() to clean up dentriesSteven Rostedt (Google)
Looking at how dentry is removed via the tracefs system, I found that eventfs does not do everything that it did under tracefs. The tracefs removal of a dentry calls simple_recursive_removal() that does a lot more than a simple d_invalidate(). As it should be a requirement that any eventfs_inode that has a dentry, so does its parent. When removing a eventfs_inode, if it has a dentry, a call to simple_recursive_removal() on that dentry should clean up all the dentries underneath it. Add WARN_ON_ONCE() to check for the parent having a dentry if any children do.

2023-11-02eventfs: Delete eventfs_inode when the last dentry is freedSteven Rostedt (Google)
There exists a race between holding a reference of an eventfs_inode dentry and the freeing of the eventfs_inode. If user space has a dentry held long enough, it may still be able to access the dentry's eventfs_inode after it has been freed. To prevent this, have he eventfs_inode freed via the last dput() (or via RCU if the eventfs_inode does not have a dentry). This means reintroducing the eventfs_inode del_list field at a temporary place to put the eventfs_inode. It needs to mark it as freed (via the list) but also must invalidate the dentry immediately as the return from eventfs_remove_dir() expects that they are. But the dentry invalidation must not be called under the eventfs_mutex, so it must be done after the eventfs_inode is marked as free (put on a deletion list).

2023-11-02eventfs: Hold eventfs_mutex when calling callback functionsSteven Rostedt (Google)
The callback function that is used to create inodes and dentries is not protected by anything and the data that is passed to it could become stale. After eventfs_remove_dir() is called by the tracing system, it is free to remove the events that are associated to that directory. Unfortunately, that means the callbacks must not be called after that. CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- eventfs_root_lookup() { eventfs_remove_dir() { mutex_lock(&event_mutex); ei->is_freed = set; mutex_unlock(&event_mutex); } kfree(event_call); for (...) { entry = &ei->entries[i]; r = entry->callback() { call = data; // call == event_call above if (call->flags ...) [ USE AFTER FREE BUG ] The safest way to protect this is to wrap the callback with: mutex_lock(&eventfs_mutex); if (!ei->is_freed) r = entry->callback(); else r = -1; mutex_unlock(&eventfs_mutex); This will make sure that the callback will not be called after it is freed. But now it needs to be known that the callback is called while holding internal eventfs locks, and that it must not call back into the eventfs / tracefs system. There's no reason it should anyway, but document that as well.
