Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Undo the registration when enabling the histogram
 trigger fails

Commit 6f86bdeab633 ("tracing: Fix bad hist from corrupting named_triggers
list") described how a trigger that is registered but not on file->triggers
ends up freed while still on the global named_triggers list, and moved the
registration down so that hist_trigger_enable() follows it immediately. One
path still gets there. hist_trigger_enable() adds the trigger and takes it
straight back out when the event cannot be enabled:

	list_add_tail_rcu(&data->list, &file->triggers);

	update_cond_flag(file);

	if (trace_event_trigger_enable_disable(file, 1) < 0) {
		list_del_rcu(&data->list);
		update_cond_flag(file);
		ret--;
	}

so the list walk in hist_unregister_trigger() matches nothing, test stays
NULL, and the ->free() that would call del_named_trigger() is skipped.
out_unreg falls through to out_free, which frees the trigger anyway:

 BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0
 Read of size 8 at addr ffff8880091d3160 by task init/1
  find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0
  hist_register_trigger+0xc1/0xa00
  event_hist_trigger_parse+0x3146/0x6af0
  event_trigger_write+0xce/0x160
 Freed by task 69:
  kfree+0x154/0x420
  trigger_kthread_fn+0xfd/0x160

Leave the trigger where hist_unregister_trigger() can find it and let that
undo the registration, which is the only code that knows all of what
cmd_ops->init() took: the named list entry, the hist_pad reference, the
reference on the trigger a named histogram is shared with, and the copied
cmd_ops. It also pairs the failed trace_event_trigger_enable_disable(),
whose sm_ref and buffered event reference are otherwise left behind.

Since ->free() releases trigger_data and, for a trigger that does not share
its histogram, hist_data with it, out_unreg can no longer fall through to
out_free. For a trigger that does share, hist_register_trigger() has
already destroyed the caller's hist_data, so the fall-through was reading
freed memory there as well.

Move the enable_timestamps check in hist_unregister_trigger() above the
->free() call for the same reason: hist_data does not outlive it once the
trigger being removed is the one that owns it.

[ 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 bdafb4d4cb3bb18b29517eaae09fb49d25f854f0 ]

The struct event_command has a callback function called get_trigger_ops().
This callback returns the "trigger_ops" to use for the trigger. These ops
define the trigger function, how to init the trigger, how to print the
trigger and how to free it.

The only reason there's a callback function to get these ops is because
some triggers have two types of operations. One is an "always on"
operation, and the other is a "count down" operation. If a user passes in
a parameter to say how many times the trigger should execute. For example:

  echo stacktrace:5 > events/kmem/kmem_cache_alloc/trigger

It will trigger the stacktrace for the first 5 times the kmem_cache_alloc
event is hit.

Instead of having two different trigger_ops since the only difference
between them is the tigger itself (the print, init and free functions are
all the same), just use a single ops that the event_command points to and
add a function field to the trigger_ops to have a count_func.

When a trigger is added to an event, if there's a count attached to it and
the trigger ops has the count_func field, the data allocated to represent
this trigger will have a new flag set called COUNT.

Then when the trigger executes, it will check if the COUNT data flag is
set, and if so, it will call the ops count_func(). If that returns false,
it returns without executing the trigger.

This removes the need for duplicate event_trigger_ops structures.

Stable adaptation for 92383cef66791a0c63a2f27755cadbdb2fbf270b:

Keep the stable snapshot trigger's unregister_trigger callback; this tree
has no snapshot reference counting or unregister_snapshot_trigger helper.
Retain the stable explicit locking and existing trigger init semantics.

Fold in the callback migration from b052d70f7c9c so the target can use
cmd_ops->free directly, including the distinct lifetime of copied command
ops for shared named histograms. The stable histogram initializer cannot
fail, so its upstream hist_pad allocation error handling is unnecessary.
Select the histogram clock before allocating copied command ops or
publishing a named trigger, and enable filter buffering after init, so a
clock selection failure cannot strand those resources.

Also drop the redundant event_trigger_reset_filter call as in
a4e0ea0e10a26: trigger_data_free already performs that cleanup. This
provides the target's out_free context without changing its patch.

No functions beyond those already introduced by bdafb4d4cb3b are added.
The target fix itself is left unapplied.

-/**
- * struct event_trigger_ops - callbacks for trace event triggers
- *
- * The methods in this structure provide per-event trigger hooks for
- * various trigger operations.
- *
- * The @init and @free methods are used during trigger setup and
- * teardown, typically called from an event_command's @parse()
- * function implementation.
- *
- * The @print method is used to print the trigger spec.
- *
- * The @trigger method is the function that actually implements the
- * trigger and is called in the context of the triggering event
- * whenever that event occurs.
- *
- * All the methods below, except for @init() and @free(), must be
- * implemented.
- *
- * @trigger: The trigger 'probe' function called when the triggering
- *	event occurs.  The data passed into this callback is the data
- *	that was supplied to the event_command @reg() function that
- *	registered the trigger (see struct event_command) along with
- *	the trace record, rec.
- *
- * @init: An optional initialization function called for the trigger
- *	when the trigger is registered (via the event_command reg()
- *	function).  This can be used to perform per-trigger
- *	initialization such as incrementing a per-trigger reference
- *	count, for instance.  This is usually implemented by the
- *	generic utility function @event_trigger_init() (see
- *	trace_event_triggers.c).
- *
- * @free: An optional de-initialization function called for the
- *	trigger when the trigger is unregistered (via the
- *	event_command @reg() function).  This can be used to perform
- *	per-trigger de-initialization such as decrementing a
- *	per-trigger reference count and freeing corresponding trigger
- *	data, for instance.  This is usually implemented by the
- *	generic utility function @event_trigger_free() (see
- *	trace_event_triggers.c).
- *
- * @print: The callback function invoked to have the trigger print
- *	itself.  This is usually implemented by a wrapper function
- *	that calls the generic utility function @event_trigger_print()
- *	(see trace_event_triggers.c).

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

[ Upstream commit 92383cef66791a0c63a2f27755cadbdb2fbf270b ]

Commit 6f86bdeab633 ("tracing: Fix bad hist from corrupting named_triggers
list") described how a trigger that is registered but not on file->triggers
ends up freed while still on the global named_triggers list, and moved the
registration down so that hist_trigger_enable() follows it immediately. One
path still gets there. hist_trigger_enable() adds the trigger and takes it
straight back out when the event cannot be enabled:

	list_add_tail_rcu(&data->list, &file->triggers);

	update_cond_flag(file);

	if (trace_event_trigger_enable_disable(file, 1) < 0) {
		list_del_rcu(&data->list);
		update_cond_flag(file);
		ret--;
	}

so the list walk in hist_unregister_trigger() matches nothing, test stays
NULL, and the ->free() that would call del_named_trigger() is skipped.
out_unreg falls through to out_free, which frees the trigger anyway:

 BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0
 Read of size 8 at addr ffff8880091d3160 by task init/1
  find_named_trigger+0xac/0xc0
  hist_register_trigger+0xc1/0xa00
  event_hist_trigger_parse+0x3146/0x6af0
  event_trigger_write+0xce/0x160
 Freed by task 69:
  kfree+0x154/0x420
  trigger_kthread_fn+0xfd/0x160

Leave the trigger where hist_unregister_trigger() can find it and let that
undo the registration, which is the only code that knows all of what
cmd_ops->init() took: the named list entry, the hist_pad reference, the
reference on the trigger a named histogram is shared with, and the copied
cmd_ops. It also pairs the failed trace_event_trigger_enable_disable(),
whose sm_ref and buffered event reference are otherwise left behind.

Since ->free() releases trigger_data and, for a trigger that does not share
its histogram, hist_data with it, out_unreg can no longer fall through to
out_free. For a trigger that does share, hist_register_trigger() has
already destroyed the caller's hist_data, so the fall-through was reading
freed memory there as well.

Move the enable_timestamps check in hist_unregister_trigger() above the
->free() call for the same reason: hist_data does not outlive it once the
trigger being removed is the one that owns it.
