Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Take the reference before publishing the named
 histogram trigger

event_hist_trigger_named_init() puts the trigger on the global
named_triggers list and only then takes the reference on the trigger it
shares its histogram with:

	data->ref++;

	save_named_trigger(data->named_data->name, data);

	ret = event_hist_trigger_init(data->named_data);
	if (ret < 0) {
		kfree(data->cmd_ops);
		data->cmd_ops = &trigger_hist_cmd;
	}

	return ret;

event_hist_trigger_init() fails when alloc_hist_pad() cannot allocate, and
nothing takes the trigger back off the list on the way out.
event_hist_trigger_parse() frees it, and the next lookup by name reads the
freed object:

 BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0
 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888009346860 by task init/1
  find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0

  event_trigger_write+0xce/0x160
 Freed by task 67:

  trigger_kthread_fn+0xfd/0x160

Do the reference first and publish once it has succeeded, so that nothing
which can fail runs after the trigger becomes findable.

[ Upstream commit 502d2e71a89fa706843fa9277f4d6de1947072c8 ]

'event_trigger_ops mwifiex_if_ops' are not modified in these drivers.

Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  31368	   9024	   6200	  46592	   b600	kernel/trace/trace_events_trigger.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  31752	   8608	   6200	  46560	   b5e0	kernel/trace/trace_events_trigger.o

[ Upstream commit b052d70f7c9c156409a70e65c10d83b5650e7e78 ]

Now that there's pretty much a one to one mapping between the struct
event_trigger_ops and struct event_command, there's no reason to have two
different structures. Merge the function pointers of event_trigger_ops
into event_command.

There's one exception in trace_events_hist.c for the
event_hist_trigger_named_ops. This has special logic for the init and free
function pointers for "named histograms". In this case, allocate the
cmd_ops of the event_trigger_data and set it to the proper init and free
functions, which are used to initialize and free the event_trigger_data
respectively. Have the free function and the init function (on failure)
free the cmd_ops of the data element.

Stable backport note: Linux 6.6 still uses get_trigger_ops() to select
separate counted and uncounted trigger implementations. Limit this
preparatory merge to the init/free lifecycle callbacks and retain the
existing trigger/print dispatch in event_trigger_ops. Move every lifecycle
initializer and caller to event_command, including eprobes and histogram
enable/disable commands.

Keep the upstream allocation, initialization-failure cleanup, and teardown
of private command operations for named histograms. This supplies the
context needed by commit 0fe23b8eaba0 ("tracing: Take the reference before
publishing the named histogram trigger") without importing the missing
counting and unregister refactors or adding any functions.

From: Donggeun Yoo <donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 0fe23b8eaba0d3372c66b7b31204408da0715edc ]

event_hist_trigger_named_init() puts the trigger on the global
named_triggers list and only then takes the reference on the trigger it
shares its histogram with:

	data->ref++;

	save_named_trigger(data->named_data->name, data);

	ret = event_hist_trigger_init(data->named_data);
	if (ret < 0) {
		kfree(data->cmd_ops);
		data->cmd_ops = &trigger_hist_cmd;
	}

	return ret;

event_hist_trigger_init() fails when alloc_hist_pad() cannot allocate, and
nothing takes the trigger back off the list on the way out.
event_hist_trigger_parse() frees it, and the next lookup by name reads the
freed object:

 BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0
 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888009346860 by task init/1
  find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0
  hist_register_trigger+0xc1/0xa00

  event_trigger_write+0xce/0x160
 Freed by task 67:
  kfree+0x154/0x420
  trigger_kthread_fn+0xfd/0x160

Do the reference first and publish once it has succeeded, so that nothing
which can fail runs after the trigger becomes findable.
