eventfs: Update all the eventfs_inodes from the events descriptor

2024-06-21T12:40:11Z

[ Upstream commit 340f0c7067a95281ad13734f8225f49c6cf52067 ] The change to update the permissions of the eventfs_inode had the misconception that using the tracefs_inode would find all the eventfs_inodes that have been updated and reset them on remount. The problem with this approach is that the eventfs_inodes are freed when they are no longer used (basically the reason the eventfs system exists). When they are freed, the updated eventfs_inodes are not reset on a remount because their tracefs_inodes have been freed. Instead, since the events directory eventfs_inode always has a tracefs_inode pointing to it (it is not freed when finished), and the events directory has a link to all its children, have the eventfs_remount() function only operate on the events eventfs_inode and have it descend into its children updating their uid and gids.

eventfs: Keep the directories from having the same inode number as files

2024-06-16T11:51:14Z

commit 8898e7f288c47d450a3cf1511c791a03550c0789 upstream. The directories require unique inode numbers but all the eventfs files have the same inode number. Prevent the directories from having the same inode numbers as the files as that can confuse some tooling.

eventfs: Fix a possible null pointer dereference in eventfs_find_events()

2024-06-16T11:51:13Z

commit d4e9a968738bf66d3bb852dd5588d4c7afd6d7f4 upstream. In function eventfs_find_events,there is a potential null pointer that may be caused by calling update_events_attr which will perform some operations on the members of the ei struct when ei is NULL. Hence,When ei->is_freed is set,return NULL directly.

eventfs: Have "events" directory get permissions from its parent

2024-05-04T08:25:37Z

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 Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers Cc: Andrew Morton Fixes: 8186fff7ab649 ("tracefs/eventfs: Use root and instance inodes as default ownership") Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google)

eventfs: Do not treat events directory different than other directories

2024-05-04T08:25:37Z

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.

eventfs: Do not differentiate the toplevel events directory

2024-05-04T08:25:37Z

The toplevel events directory is really no different than the events directory of instances. Having the two be different caused inconsistencies and made it harder to fix the permissions bugs. Make all events directories act the same.

tracefs: Reset permissions on remount if permissions are options

2024-05-04T08:25:37Z

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.

eventfs: Free all of the eventfs_inode after RCU

2024-05-04T08:25:37Z

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.

eventfs/tracing: Add callback for release of an eventfs_inode

2024-05-04T08:25:37Z

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.
