Since the locking of the parent->d_inode has been moved outside the
creation of the files and directories (as it use to be locked via a
conditional), add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to the case that it's not locked.

The eventfs directory is dynamically created via the meta data supplied by
the existing trace events. All files and directories in eventfs has a
parent. Do not allow NULL to be passed into eventfs_start_creating() as
the parent because that should never happen. Warn if it does.

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.

If memory reclaim happens, it can reclaim file system pages. The file

With the call to simple_recursive_removal() on the entire eventfs sub
system when the directory is removed, it performs the d_invalidate on all
the dentries when it is removed. 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.

The logic to free the eventfs_inode (ei) use to set is_freed and clear the
"dentry" field under the eventfs_mutex. But that changed when a race was
found where the ei->dentry needed to be cleared when the last dput() was
called on it. But there was still logic that checked if ei->dentry was not
NULL and is_freed is set, and would warn if it was.
But since that situation was changed and the ei->dentry isn't cleared
until the last dput() is called on it while the ei->is_freed is set, do
not test for that condition anymore, and change the comments to reflect
that.

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 a 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). This wastes
memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance.
- Other minor clean ups and fixes.

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.

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).

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.

for (...) {
entry = &ei->entries[i];
r = entry->callback() {
call = data; // call == event_call above

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.

Now that inodes and dentries are created on the fly, they are also
reclaimed on memory pressure. Since the ownership and file mode are saved
in the inode, if they are freed, any changes to the ownership and mode
will be lost.
To counter this, if the user changes the permissions or ownership, save
them, and when creating the inodes again, restore those changes.

The eventfs_inode (ei) is protected by SRCU, but the ei->dentry is not. It
is protected by the eventfs_mutex. Anytime the eventfs_mutex is released,
and access to the ei->dentry needs to be done, it should first check if
ei->is_freed is set under the eventfs_mutex. If it is, then the ei->dentry
is invalid and must not be used. The ei->dentry must only be accessed
under the eventfs_mutex and after checking if ei->is_freed is set.
When the ei is being freed, it will (under the eventfs_mutex) set is_freed
and at the same time move the dentry to a free list to be cleared after
the eventfs_mutex is released. This means that any access to the
ei->dentry must check first if ei->is_freed is set, because if it is, then
the dentry is on its way to be freed.
Also add comments to describe this better.

function free_ei() to make sure all the allocated fields of the

This requires renaming the existing free_ei() which is called by the srcu

The eventfs_inode->is_freed was a union with the rcu_head with the
assumption that when it was on the srcu list the head would contain a
pointer which would make "is_freed" true. But that was a wrong assumption
as the rcu head is a single link list where the last element is NULL.
Instead, split the nr_entries integer so that "is_freed" is one bit and
the nr_entries is the next 31 bits. As there shouldn't be more than 10
(currently there's at most 5 to 7 depending on the config), this should
not be a problem.

The update to removing the eventfs_file changed the way the events top
level directory was handled. Instead of returning a dentry, it now returns
the eventfs_inode. In this changed, the removing of the events top level
directory is not much different than removing any of the other
directories. Because of this, the removal just called eventfs_remove_dir()
instead of eventfs_remove_events_dir().
Although eventfs_remove_dir() does the clean up, it misses out on the
dget() of the ei->dentry done in eventfs_create_events_dir(). It makes
more sense to match eventfs_create_events_dir() with a specific function
eventfs_remove_events_dir() and this specific function can then perform
the dput() to the dentry that had the dget() when it was created.

Instead of having a descriptor for every file represented in the eventfs
directory, only have the directory itself represented. Change the API to
send in a list of entries that represent all the files in the directory
(but not other directories). The entry list contains a name and a callback
function that will be used to create the files when they are accessed.
struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_events_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent,
const struct eventfs_entry *entries,
int size, void *data);
is used for the top level eventfs directory, and returns an eventfs_inode
that will be used by:
struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct eventfs_inode *parent,
const struct eventfs_entry *entries,
int size, void *data);
where both of the above take an array of struct eventfs_entry entries for
every file that is in the directory.
The entries are defined by:
typedef int (*eventfs_callback)(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data,
const struct file_operations **fops);
struct eventfs_entry {
const char *name;
eventfs_callback callback;
};
Where the name is the name of the file and the callback gets called when
the file is being created. The callback passes in the name (in case the
same callback is used for multiple files), a pointer to the mode, data and
fops. The data will be pointing to the data that was passed in
eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir() but may be overridden
to point to something else, as it will be used to point to the
inode->i_private that is created. The information passed back from the
callback is used to create the dentry/inode.
If the callback fills the data and the file should be created, it must
return a positive number. On zero or negative, the file is ignored.
This logic may also be used as a prototype to convert entire pseudo file
systems into just-in-time allocation.
The "show_events_dentry" file has been updated to show the directories,
and any files they have.

The dcache_dir_open_wrapper() could be called when a dynamic event is
being deleted leaving a dentry with no children. In this case the
dlist->dentries array will never be allocated. This needs to be checked
for in eventfs_release(), otherwise it will trigger a NULL pointer
dereference.

Fixes: ef36b4f928 ("eventfs: Remember what dentries were created on dir open")
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Using the following code with libtracefs:
int dfd;
// create the directory events/kprobes/kp1
tracefs_kprobe_raw(NULL, "kp1", "schedule_timeout", "time=$arg1");
// Open the kprobes directory
dfd = tracefs_instance_file_open(NULL, "events/kprobes", O_RDONLY);
// Do a lookup of the kprobes/kp1 directory (by looking at enable)
tracefs_file_exists(NULL, "events/kprobes/kp1/enable");
// Now create a new entry in the kprobes directory
tracefs_kprobe_raw(NULL, "kp2", "schedule_hrtimeout", "expires=$arg1");
// Do another lookup to create the dentries
tracefs_file_exists(NULL, "events/kprobes/kp2/enable"))
// Close the directory
close(dfd);
What happened above, the first open (dfd) will call
dcache_dir_open_wrapper() that will create the dentries and up their ref
counts.
Now the creation of "kp2" will add another dentry within the kprobes
directory.
Upon the close of dfd, eventfs_release() will now do a dput for all the
entries in kprobes. But this is where the problem lies. The open only
upped the dentry of kp1 and not kp2. Now the close is decrementing both
kp1 and kp2, which causes kp2 to get a negative count.
Doing a "trace-cmd reset" which deletes all the kprobes cause the kernel
to crash! (due to the messed up accounting of the ref counts).
To solve this, save all the dentries that are opened in the
dcache_dir_open_wrapper() into an array, and use this array to know what
dentries to do a dput on in eventfs_release().
Since the dcache_dir_open_wrapper() calls dcache_dir_open() which uses the
file->private_data, we need to also add a wrapper around dcache_readdir()
that uses the cursor assigned to the file->private_data. This is because
the dentries need to also be saved in the file->private_data. To do this
create the structure:
struct dentry_list {
void *cursor;
struct dentry **dentries;
};
Which will hold both the cursor and the dentries. Some shuffling around is
needed to make sure that dcache_dir_open() and dcache_readdir() only see
the cursor.

The eventfs files list is protected by SRCU. In earlier iterations it was
protected with just RCU, but because it needed to also call sleepable
code, it had to be switch to SRCU. The dcache_dir_open_wrapper()
list_for_each_rcu() was missed and did not get converted over to
list_for_each_srcu(). That needs to be fixed.

Currently when rmdir on an instance is done, eventfs_remove_events_dir()
is called and it does a dput on the dentry and then frees the
eventfs_inode that represents the events directory.
But there's no protection against a reader reading the top level events
directory at the same time and we can get a use after free error. Instead,
use the dput() associated to the dentry to also free the eventfs_inode
associated to the events directory, as that will get called when the last
reference to the directory is released.

The function tracefs_create_dir() was missing a lockdown check and was
called by the RV code. This gave an inconsistent behavior of this function
returning success while other tracefs functions failed. This caused the
inode being freed by the wrong kmem_cache.

User visible changes:
- Added a way to easier filter with cpumasks:
# echo 'cpumask & CPUS{17-42}' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ipi_send_cpumask/filter
- Show actual size of ring buffer after modifying the ring buffer size via
buffer_size_kb. Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual
size rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead.
Major changes:
- Added "eventfs". This is the code that handles the inodes and dentries of
tracefs/events directory. As there are thousands of events, and each event
has several inodes and dentries that currently exist even when tracing is
never used, they take up precious memory. Instead, eventfs will allocate
the inodes and dentries in a JIT way (similar to what procfs does). There
is now metadata that handles the events and subdirectories, and will create
the inodes and dentries when they are used.
Note, I also have patches that remove the subdirectory meta data, but will
wait till the next merge window before applying them. It's a little more
complex, and I want to make sure the dynamic code works properly before
adding more complexity, making it easier to revert if need be.
Minor changes:
- Optimization to user event list traversal.
- Remove intermediate permission of tracefs files (note the intermediate
permission removes all access to the files so it is not a security concern,
but just a clean up.)
- Add the complex fix to FORTIFY_SOURCE to the kernel stack event logic.
- Other minor clean ups.

Right now inode->i_mode is updated twice to reach the desired value
in tracefs_apply_options(). Because there is no lock protecting the two
writes, other threads might read the intermediate value of inode->i_mode.
Thread-1 Thread-2
// tracefs_apply_options() //e.g., acl_permission_check
inode->i_mode &= ~S_IALLUGO;
unsigned int mode = inode->i_mode;
inode->i_mode |= opts->mode;
I think there is no need to introduce a lock but it is better to
only update inode->i_mode ONCE, so the readers will either see the old
or latest value, rather than an intermediate/temporary value.
Note, the race is not a security concern as the intermediate value is more
locked down than either the start or end version. This is more just to do
the conversion cleanly.

Up until now, /sys/kernel/tracing/events was no different than any other
part of tracefs. The files and directories within the events directory was
created when the tracefs was mounted, and also created for the instances in
/sys/kernel/tracing/instances/<instance>/events. Most of these files and
directories will never be referenced. Since there are thousands of these
files and directories they spend their time wasting precious memory
resources.
Move the "events" directory to the new eventfs. The eventfs will take the
meta data of the events that they represent and store that. When the files
in the events directory are referenced, the dentry and inodes to represent
them are then created. When the files are no longer referenced, they are
freed. This saves the precious memory resources that were wasted on these
seldom referenced dentries and inodes.
Running the following:
~# cat /proc/meminfo /proc/slabinfo > before.out

When events are removed from tracefs, the eventfs must be aware of this.
The eventfs_remove() removes the meta data from eventfs so that it will no
longer create the files associated with that event.
When an instance is removed from tracefs, eventfs_remove_events_dir() will
remove and clean up the entire "events" directory.
The helper function eventfs_remove_rec() is used to clean up and free the
associated data from eventfs for both of the added functions. SRCU is used
to protect the lists of meta data stored in the eventfs. The eventfs_mutex
is used to protect the content of the items in the list.
As lookups may be happening as deletions of events are made, the freeing
of dentry/inodes and relative information is done after the SRCU grace
period has passed.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

Users may have explicitly configured their tracefs permissions; we
shouldn't overwrite those just because a second mount appeared.
Only clobber if the options were provided at mount time.
Note: the previous behavior was especially surprising in the presence of
automounted /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/.
Existing behavior:
## Pre-existing status: tracefs is 0755.
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/
drwxr-xr-x
## (Re)trigger the automount.
# umount /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/.
drwx------
## Unexpected: the automount changed mode for other mount instances.
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/
drwx------

Al Viro brought it to my attention that the dentries may not be filled
when the parse_options() is called, causing the call to set_gid() to
possibly crash. It should only be called if parse_options() succeeds
totally anyway.
He suggested the logical place to do the update is in apply_options().

New:
- The Real Time Linux Analysis (RTLA) tool is added to the tools directory.
- Can safely filter on user space pointers with: field.ustring ~ "match-string"
- eprobes can now be filtered like any other event.
- trace_marker(_raw) now uses stream_open() to allow multiple threads to safely
write to it. Note, this could possibly break existing user space, but we will
not know until we hear about it, and then can revert the change if need be.
- New field in events to display when bottom halfs are disabled.
- Sorting of the ftrace functions are now done at compile time instead of
at bootup.
Infrastructure changes to support future efforts:
- Added __rel_loc type for trace events. Similar to __data_loc but the offset
to the dynamic data is based off of the location of the descriptor and not
the beginning of the event. Needed for user defined events.
- Some simplification of event trigger code.
- Make synthetic events process its callback better to not hinder other
event callbacks that are registered. Needed for user defined events.
And other small fixes and clean ups.
