tracing: Fix use-after-free in print_graph_function_flags during tracer switching

2025-04-10T12:29:43Z

commit 7f81f27b1093e4895e87b74143c59c055c3b1906 upstream. Kairui reported a UAF issue in print_graph_function_flags() during ftrace stress testing [1]. This issue can be reproduced if puting a 'mdelay(10)' after 'mutex_unlock(&trace_types_lock)' in s_start(), and executing the following script: $ echo function_graph > current_tracer $ cat trace > /dev/null & $ sleep 5 # Ensure the 'cat' reaches the 'mdelay(10)' point $ echo timerlat > current_tracer The root cause lies in the two calls to print_graph_function_flags within print_trace_line during each s_show(): * One through 'iter->trace->print_line()'; * Another through 'event->funcs->trace()', which is hidden in print_trace_fmt() before print_trace_line returns. Tracer switching only updates the former, while the latter continues to use the print_line function of the old tracer, which in the script above is print_graph_function_flags. Moreover, when switching from the 'function_graph' tracer to the 'timerlat' tracer, s_start only calls graph_trace_close of the 'function_graph' tracer to free 'iter->private', but does not set it to NULL. This provides an opportunity for 'event->funcs->trace()' to use an invalid 'iter->private'. To fix this issue, set 'iter->private' to NULL immediately after freeing it in graph_trace_close(), ensuring that an invalid pointer is not passed to other tracers. Additionally, clean up the unnecessary 'iter->private = NULL' during each 'cat trace' when using wakeup and irqsoff tracers.

kernel/trace: Fix do not unregister tracepoints when register sched_migrate_task fail

commit 50f9ad607ea891a9308e67b81f774c71736d1098 upstream. In the function, if register_trace_sched_migrate_task() returns error, sched_switch/sched_wakeup_new/sched_wakeup won't unregister.

tracing: Add conditional snapshot

2019-02-20T18:51:06Z

Currently, tracing snapshots are context-free - they capture the ring buffer contents at the time the tracing_snapshot() function was invoked, and nothing else. Additionally, they're always taken unconditionally - the calling code can decide whether or not to take a snapshot, but the data used to make that decision is kept separately from the snapshot itself. This change adds the ability to associate with each trace instance some user data, along with an 'update' function that can use that data to determine whether or not to actually take a snapshot. The update function can then update that data along with any other state (as part of the data presumably), if warranted. Because snapshots are 'global' per-instance, only one user can enable and use a conditional snapshot for any given trace instance. To enable a conditional snapshot (see details in the function and data structure comments), the user calls tracing_snapshot_cond_enable(). Similarly, to disable a conditional snapshot and free it up for other users, tracing_snapshot_cond_disable() should be called. To actually initiate a conditional snapshot, tracing_snapshot_cond() should be called. tracing_snapshot_cond() will invoke the update() callback, allowing the user to decide whether or not to actually take the snapshot and update the user-defined data associated with the snapshot. If the callback returns 'true', tracing_snapshot_cond() will then actually take the snapshot and return. This scheme allows for flexibility in snapshot implementations - for example, by implementing slightly different update() callbacks, snapshots can be taken in situations where the user is only interested in taking a snapshot when a new maximum in hit versus when a value changes in any way at all. Future patches will demonstrate both cases.

function_graph: Support displaying relative timestamp

2019-02-06T16:56:18Z

When function_graph is used for latency tracers, relative timestamp is more straightforward than absolute timestamp as function trace does. This change adds relative timestamp support to function_graph and applies to latency tracers (wakeup and irqsoff).

fgraph: Add new fgraph_ops structure to enable function graph hooks

2018-12-09T01:54:07Z

Currently the registering of function graph is to pass in a entry and return function. We need to have a way to associate those functions together where the entry can determine to run the return hook. Having a structure that contains both functions will facilitate the process of converting the code to be able to do such. This is similar to the way function hooks are enabled (it passes in ftrace_ops). Instead of passing in the functions to use, a single structure is passed in to the registering function. The unregister function is now passed in the fgraph_ops handle. When we allow more than one callback to the function graph hooks, this will let the system know which one to remove.
