eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode 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.

eventfs: Test for ei->is_freed when accessing ei->dentry 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.

eventfs: Save directory inodes in the eventfs_inode structure The eventfs inodes and directories are allocated when referenced. But this leaves the issue of keeping consistent inode numbers and the number is only saved in the inode structure itself. When the inode is no longer referenced, it can be freed. When the file that the inode was representing is referenced again, the inode is once again created, but the inode number needs to be the same as it was before. Just making the inode numbers the same for all files is fine, but that does not work with directories. The find command will check for loops via the inode number and having the same inode number for directories triggers: # find /sys/kernel/tracing find: File system loop detected; '/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/initcall/initcall_finish' is part of the same file system loop as '/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/initcall'. [..] Linus pointed out that the eventfs_inode structure ends with a single 32bit int, and on 64 bit machines, there's likely a 4 byte hole due to alignment. We can use this hole to store the inode number for the eventfs_inode. All directories in eventfs are represented by an eventfs_inode and that data structure can hold its inode number. That last int was also purposely placed at the end of the structure to prevent holes from within. Now that there's a 4 byte number to hold the inode, both the inode number and the last integer can be moved up in the structure for better cache locality, where the llist and rcu fields can be moved to the end as they are only used when the eventfs_inode is being deleted.

eventfs: Test for ei->is_freed when accessing ei->dentry 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.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei. This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any random dentry. The magic child dentry array that is kind of a "reverse reference list" is simply replaced by having child dentries take a ref to the ei. As does the directory dentries. That makes the broken use case go away.

eventfs/tracing: Add callback for release of an eventfs_inode 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.

eventfs: Hold eventfs_mutex and SRCU when remount walks events Commit 340f0c7067a9 ("eventfs: Update all the eventfs_inodes from the events descriptor") had eventfs_set_attrs() recurse through ei->children on remount. The walk only holds the rcu_read_lock() taken by tracefs_apply_options() over tracefs_inodes, which is wrong: - list_for_each_entry over ei->children races with the list_del_rcu() in eventfs_remove_rec() -- LIST_POISON1 deref, same shape as d2603279c7d6. - eventfs_inodes are freed via call_srcu(&eventfs_srcu, ...). rcu_read_lock() does not extend an SRCU grace period, so ti->private can be reclaimed under the walk. - The writes to ei->attr race with eventfs_set_attr(), which holds eventfs_mutex. Reproducer: while :; do mount -o remount,uid=$((RANDOM%1000)) /sys/kernel/tracing; done & while :; do echo "p:kp submit_bio" > /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events echo > /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events done Wrap the events portion of tracefs_apply_options() in eventfs_remount_lock()/_unlock() that take eventfs_mutex and srcu_read_lock(&eventfs_srcu). eventfs_set_attrs() doesn't sleep so the nested rcu_read_lock() is fine; lockdep_assert_held() pins the contract. Comment in tracefs_drop_inode() said "RCU cycle" -- it is SRCU.

tracefs: Reset permissions on remount if permissions are options 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.

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: Fix file and directory uid and gid ownership It was reported that when mounting the tracefs file system with a gid other than root, the ownership did not carry down to the eventfs directory due to the dynamic nature of it. A fix was done to solve this, but it had two issues. (a) if the attr passed into update_inode_attr() was NULL, it didn't do anything. This is true for files that have not had a chown or chgrp done to itself or any of its sibling files, as the attr is allocated for all children when any one needs it. # umount /sys/kernel/tracing # mount -o rw,seclabel,relatime,gid=1000 -t tracefs nodev /mnt # ls -ld /mnt/events/sched drwxr-xr-x 28 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/ # ls -ld /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch drwxr-xr-x 2 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch/ But when checking the files: # ls -l /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch total 0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 enable -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 filter -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 format -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 hist -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 id -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 trigger (b) When the attr does not denote the UID or GID, it defaulted to using the parent uid or gid.

But this does not handle the case of: # chgrp tracing instances # mkdir instances/foo If the superblock was used, then the group ownership would be that of what it was when it was mounted, when it should instead be "tracing". Instead, set a flag for the top level eventfs directory ("events") to flag which eventfs_inode belongs to it. Since the "events" directory's dentry and inode are never freed, it does not need to use its attr field to restore its mode and ownership. Use the this eventfs_inode's attr as the default ownership for all the files and directories underneath it. When the events eventfs_inode is created, it sets its ownership to its parent uid and gid. As the events directory is created at boot up before it gets mounted, this will always be uid=0 and gid=0. If it's created via an instance, then it will take the ownership of the instance directory. When the file system is mounted, it will update all the gids if one is specified. This will have a callback to update the events evenfs_inode's default entries. When a file or directory is created under the events directory, it will walk the ei->dentry parents until it finds the evenfs_inode that belongs to the events directory to retrieve the default uid and gid values.

tracefs: dentry lookup crapectomy The dentry lookup for eventfs files was very broken, and had lots of signs of the old situation where the filesystem names were all created statically in the dentry tree, rather than being looked up dynamically based on the eventfs data structures. You could see it in the naming - how it claimed to "create" dentries rather than just look up the dentries that were given it. You could see it in various nonsensical and very incorrect operations, like using "simple_lookup()" on the dentries that were passed in, which only results in those dentries becoming negative dentries.

eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode 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.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei. This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any random dentry. The magic child dentry array that is kind of a "reverse reference list" is simply replaced by having child dentries take a ref to the ei. As does the directory dentries. That makes the broken use case go away.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei. This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any random dentry. The magic child dentry array that is kind of a "reverse reference list" is simply replaced by having child dentries take a ref to the ei. As does the directory dentries.

eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode 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.

eventfs: Save directory inodes in the eventfs_inode structure The eventfs inodes and directories are allocated when referenced. But this leaves the issue of keeping consistent inode numbers and the number is only saved in the inode structure itself. When the inode is no longer referenced, it can be freed. When the file that the inode was representing is referenced again, the inode is once again created, but the inode number needs to be the same as it was before. Just making the inode numbers the same for all files is fine, but that does not work with directories. The find command will check for loops via the inode number and having the same inode number for directories triggers: # find /sys/kernel/tracing find: File system loop detected; '/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/initcall/initcall_finish' is part of the same file system loop as '/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/initcall'. [..] Linus pointed out that the eventfs_inode structure ends with a single 32bit int, and on 64 bit machines, there's likely a 4 byte hole due to alignment. We can use this hole to store the inode number for the eventfs_inode. All directories in eventfs are represented by an eventfs_inode and that data structure can hold its inode number. That last int was also purposely placed at the end of the structure to prevent holes from within. Now that there's a 4 byte number to hold the inode, both the inode number and the last integer can be moved up in the structure for better cache locality, where the llist and rcu fields can be moved to the end as they are only used when the eventfs_inode is being deleted.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups.

tracefs: dentry lookup crapectomy The dentry lookup for eventfs files was very broken, and had lots of signs of the old situation where the filesystem names were all created statically in the dentry tree, rather than being looked up dynamically based on the eventfs data structures. You could see it in the naming - how it claimed to "create" dentries rather than just look up the dentries that were given it. You could see it in various nonsensical and very incorrect operations, like using "simple_lookup()" on the dentries that were passed in, which only results in those dentries becoming negative dentries. Which meant that any other lookup would possibly return ENOENT if it saw that negative dentry before the data was then later filled in. You could see it in the immense amount of nonsensical code that didn't actually just do lookups.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei.

eventfs: Clean up dentry ops and add revalidate function In order for the dentries to stay up-to-date with the eventfs changes, just add a 'd_revalidate' function that checks the 'is_freed' bit. Also, clean up the dentry release to actually use d_release() rather than the slightly odd d_iput() function. We don't care about the inode, all we want to do is to get rid of the refcount to the eventfs data added by dentry->d_fsdata. It would probably be cleaner to make eventfs its own filesystem, or at least set its own dentry ops when looking up eventfs files. But as it is, only eventfs dentries use d_fsdata, so we don't really need to split these things up by use. Another thing that might be worth doing is to make all eventfs lookups mark their dentries as not worth caching. We could do that with d_delete(), but the DCACHE_DONTCACHE flag would likely be even better. As it is, the dentries are all freeable, but they only tend to get freed at memory pressure rather than more proactively. But that's a separate issue.

eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode 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.

eventfs: Clean up dentry ops and add revalidate function In order for the dentries to stay up-to-date with the eventfs changes, just add a 'd_revalidate' function that checks the 'is_freed' bit. Also, clean up the dentry release to actually use d_release() rather than the slightly odd d_iput() function. We don't care about the inode, all we want to do is to get rid of the refcount to the eventfs data added by dentry->d_fsdata. It would probably be cleaner to make eventfs its own filesystem, or at least set its own dentry ops when looking up eventfs files. But as it is, only eventfs dentries use d_fsdata, so we don't really need to split these things up by use. Another thing that might be worth doing is to make all eventfs lookups mark their dentries as not worth caching. We could do that with d_delete(), but the DCACHE_DONTCACHE flag would likely be even better. As it is, the dentries are all freeable, but they only tend to get freed at memory pressure rather than more proactively. But that's a separate issue.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei. This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any random dentry. The magic child dentry array that is kind of a "reverse reference list" is simply replaced by having child dentries take a ref to the ei. As does the directory dentries. That makes the broken use case go away.

eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode 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.

tracefs: dentry lookup crapectomy The dentry lookup for eventfs files was very broken, and had lots of signs of the old situation where the filesystem names were all created statically in the dentry tree, rather than being looked up dynamically based on the eventfs data structures. You could see it in the naming - how it claimed to "create" dentries rather than just look up the dentries that were given it. You could see it in various nonsensical and very incorrect operations, like using "simple_lookup()" on the dentries that were passed in, which only results in those dentries becoming negative dentries. Which meant that any other lookup would possibly return ENOENT if it saw that negative dentry before the data was then later filled in. You could see it in the immense amount of nonsensical code that didn't actually just do lookups.

tracefs: dentry lookup crapectomy The dentry lookup for eventfs files was very broken, and had lots of signs of the old situation where the filesystem names were all created statically in the dentry tree, rather than being looked up dynamically based on the eventfs data structures. You could see it in the naming - how it claimed to "create" dentries rather than just look up the dentries that were given it. You could see it in various nonsensical and very incorrect operations, like using "simple_lookup()" on the dentries that were passed in, which only results in those dentries becoming negative dentries. Which meant that any other lookup would possibly return ENOENT if it saw that negative dentry before the data was then later filled in. You could see it in the immense amount of nonsensical code that didn't actually just do lookups.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei. This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any random dentry. The magic child dentry array that is kind of a "reverse reference list" is simply replaced by having child dentries take a ref to the ei. As does the directory dentries. That makes the broken use case go away.

tracefs: dentry lookup crapectomy The dentry lookup for eventfs files was very broken, and had lots of signs of the old situation where the filesystem names were all created statically in the dentry tree, rather than being looked up dynamically based on the eventfs data structures. You could see it in the naming - how it claimed to "create" dentries rather than just look up the dentries that were given it. You could see it in various nonsensical and very incorrect operations, like using "simple_lookup()" on the dentries that were passed in, which only results in those dentries becoming negative dentries. Which meant that any other lookup would possibly return ENOENT if it saw that negative dentry before the data was then later filled in. You could see it in the immense amount of nonsensical code that didn't actually just do lookups.

eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode 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.

eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode 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.

tracefs: dentry lookup crapectomy The dentry lookup for eventfs files was very broken, and had lots of signs of the old situation where the filesystem names were all created statically in the dentry tree, rather than being looked up dynamically based on the eventfs data structures. You could see it in the naming - how it claimed to "create" dentries rather than just look up the dentries that were given it. You could see it in various nonsensical and very incorrect operations, like using "simple_lookup()" on the dentries that were passed in, which only results in those dentries becoming negative dentries. Which meant that any other lookup would possibly return ENOENT if it saw that negative dentry before the data was then later filled in. You could see it in the immense amount of nonsensical code that didn't actually just do lookups.

eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode 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.

eventfs: Remember what dentries were created on dir open 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.

eventfs: Do not create dentries nor inodes in iterate_shared The original eventfs code added a wrapper around the dcache_readdir open callback and created all the dentries and inodes at open, and increment their ref count. A wrapper was added around the dcache_readdir release function to decrement all the ref counts of those created inodes and dentries. But this proved to be buggy[1] for when a kprobe was created during a dir read, it would create a dentry between the open and the release, and because the release would decrement all ref counts of all files and directories, that would include the kprobe directory that was not there to have its ref count incremented in open. This would cause the ref count to go to negative and later crash the kernel. To solve this, the dentries and inodes that were created and had their ref count upped in open needed to be saved. That list needed to be passed from the open to the release, so that the release would only decrement the ref counts of the entries that were incremented in the open. Unfortunately, the dcache_readdir logic was already using the file->private_data, which is the only field that can be used to pass information from the open to the release. What was done was the eventfs created another descriptor that had a void pointer to save the dcache_readdir pointer, and it wrapped all the callbacks, so that it could save the list of entries that had their ref counts incremented in the open, and pass it to the release. The wrapped callbacks would just put back the dcache_readdir pointer and call the functions it used so it could still use its data[2]. But Linus had an issue with the "hijacking" of the file->private_data (unfortunately this discussion was on a security list, so no public link). Which we finally agreed on doing everything within the iterate_shared callback and leave the dcache_readdir out of it[3]. All the information needed for the getents() could be created then. But this ended up being buggy too[4]. The iterate_shared callback was not the right place to create the dentries and inodes. Even Christian Brauner had issues with that[5]. An attempt was to go back to creating the inodes and dentries at the open, create an array to store the information in the file->private_data, and pass that information to the other callbacks.[6] The difference between that and the original method, is that it does not use dcache_readdir. It also does not up the ref counts of the dentries and pass them. Instead, it creates an array of a structure that saves the dentry's name and inode number. That information is used in the iterate_shared callback, and the array is freed in the dir release. The dentries and inodes created in the open are not used for the iterate_share or release callbacks. Just their names and inode numbers. Linus did not like that either[7] and just wanted to remove the dentries being created in iterate_shared and use the hard coded inode numbers.

eventfs: Save directory inodes in the eventfs_inode structure The eventfs inodes and directories are allocated when referenced. But this leaves the issue of keeping consistent inode numbers and the number is only saved in the inode structure itself. When the inode is no longer referenced, it can be freed. When the file that the inode was representing is referenced again, the inode is once again created, but the inode number needs to be the same as it was before. Just making the inode numbers the same for all files is fine, but that does not work with directories. The find command will check for loops via the inode number and having the same inode number for directories triggers: # find /sys/kernel/tracing find: File system loop detected; '/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/initcall/initcall_finish' is part of the same file system loop as '/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/initcall'. [..] Linus pointed out that the eventfs_inode structure ends with a single 32bit int, and on 64 bit machines, there's likely a 4 byte hole due to alignment. We can use this hole to store the inode number for the eventfs_inode. All directories in eventfs are represented by an eventfs_inode and that data structure can hold its inode number. That last int was also purposely placed at the end of the structure to prevent holes from within. Now that there's a 4 byte number to hold the inode, both the inode number and the last integer can be moved up in the structure for better cache locality, where the llist and rcu fields can be moved to the end as they are only used when the eventfs_inode is being deleted.

eventfs: Hold eventfs_mutex when calling callback functions 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. CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- eventfs_root_lookup() { eventfs_remove_dir() { mutex_lock(&event_mutex); ei->is_freed = set; mutex_unlock(&event_mutex); } kfree(event_call); for (...) { entry = &ei->entries[i]; r = entry->callback() { call = data; // call == event_call above if (call->flags ...) [ USE AFTER FREE BUG ] 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.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei. This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any random dentry. The magic child dentry array that is kind of a "reverse reference list" is simply replaced by having child dentries take a ref to the ei. As does the directory dentries. That makes the broken use case go away.

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.

eventfs/tracing: Add callback for release of an eventfs_inode 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.

eventfs: Hold eventfs_mutex when calling callback functions 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. CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- eventfs_root_lookup() { eventfs_remove_dir() { mutex_lock(&event_mutex); ei->is_freed = set; mutex_unlock(&event_mutex); } kfree(event_call); for (...) { entry = &ei->entries[i]; r = entry->callback() { call = data; // call == event_call above if (call->flags ...) [ USE AFTER FREE BUG ] 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.

eventfs: Fix file and directory uid and gid ownership It was reported that when mounting the tracefs file system with a gid other than root, the ownership did not carry down to the eventfs directory due to the dynamic nature of it. A fix was done to solve this, but it had two issues. (a) if the attr passed into update_inode_attr() was NULL, it didn't do anything. This is true for files that have not had a chown or chgrp done to itself or any of its sibling files, as the attr is allocated for all children when any one needs it. # umount /sys/kernel/tracing # mount -o rw,seclabel,relatime,gid=1000 -t tracefs nodev /mnt # ls -ld /mnt/events/sched drwxr-xr-x 28 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/ # ls -ld /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch drwxr-xr-x 2 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch/ But when checking the files: # ls -l /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch total 0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 enable -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 filter -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 format -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 hist -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 id -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 trigger (b) When the attr does not denote the UID or GID, it defaulted to using the parent uid or gid. This is incorrect as changing the parent uid or gid will automatically change all its children. # chgrp tracing /mnt/events/timer # ls -ld /mnt/events/timer drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:34 /mnt/events/timer # ls -l /mnt/events/timer total 0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 14:35 enable -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 14:35 filter drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_cancel drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_expire_entry drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_expire_exit drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_init drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_start drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 itimer_expire drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 itimer_state drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 tick_stop drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_cancel drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_expire_entry drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_expire_exit drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_init drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_start At first it was thought that this could be easily fixed by just making the default ownership of the superblock when it was mounted. But this does not handle the case of: # chgrp tracing instances # mkdir instances/foo If the superblock was used, then the group ownership would be that of what it was when it was mounted, when it should instead be "tracing". Instead, set a flag for the top level eventfs directory ("events") to flag which eventfs_inode belongs to it. Since the "events" directory's dentry and inode are never freed, it does not need to use its attr field to restore its mode and ownership. Use the this eventfs_inode's attr as the default ownership for all the files and directories underneath it. When the events eventfs_inode is created, it sets its ownership to its parent uid and gid. As the events directory is created at boot up before it gets mounted, this will always be uid=0 and gid=0. If it's created via an instance, then it will take the ownership of the instance directory. When the file system is mounted, it will update all the gids if one is specified. This will have a callback to update the events evenfs_inode's default entries. When a file or directory is created under the events directory, it will walk the ei->dentry parents until it finds the evenfs_inode that belongs to the events directory to retrieve the default uid and gid values.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei. This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any random dentry.

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.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei. This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any random dentry. The magic child dentry array that is kind of a "reverse reference list" is simply replaced by having child dentries take a ref to the ei. As does the directory dentries. That makes the broken use case go away.

eventfs: Fix file and directory uid and gid ownership It was reported that when mounting the tracefs file system with a gid other than root, the ownership did not carry down to the eventfs directory due to the dynamic nature of it. A fix was done to solve this, but it had two issues. (a) if the attr passed into update_inode_attr() was NULL, it didn't do anything. This is true for files that have not had a chown or chgrp done to itself or any of its sibling files, as the attr is allocated for all children when any one needs it. # umount /sys/kernel/tracing # mount -o rw,seclabel,relatime,gid=1000 -t tracefs nodev /mnt # ls -ld /mnt/events/sched drwxr-xr-x 28 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/ # ls -ld /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch drwxr-xr-x 2 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch/ But when checking the files: # ls -l /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch total 0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 enable -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 filter -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 format -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 hist -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 id -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 trigger (b) When the attr does not denote the UID or GID, it defaulted to using the parent uid or gid. This is incorrect as changing the parent uid or gid will automatically change all its children. # chgrp tracing /mnt/events/timer # ls -ld /mnt/events/timer drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:34 /mnt/events/timer # ls -l /mnt/events/timer total 0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 14:35 enable -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 14:35 filter drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_cancel drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_expire_entry drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_expire_exit drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_init drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_start drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 itimer_expire drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 itimer_state drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 tick_stop drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_cancel drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_expire_entry drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_expire_exit drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_init drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_start At first it was thought that this could be easily fixed by just making the default ownership of the superblock when it was mounted. But this does not handle the case of: # chgrp tracing instances # mkdir instances/foo If the superblock was used, then the group ownership would be that of what it was when it was mounted, when it should instead be "tracing". Instead, set a flag for the top level eventfs directory ("events") to flag which eventfs_inode belongs to it. Since the "events" directory's dentry and inode are never freed, it does not need to use its attr field to restore its mode and ownership. Use the this eventfs_inode's attr as the default ownership for all the files and directories underneath it. When the events eventfs_inode is created, it sets its ownership to its parent uid and gid. As the events directory is created at boot up before it gets mounted, this will always be uid=0 and gid=0. If it's created via an instance, then it will take the ownership of the instance directory. When the file system is mounted, it will update all the gids if one is specified. This will have a callback to update the events evenfs_inode's default entries. When a file or directory is created under the events directory, it will walk the ei->dentry parents until it finds the evenfs_inode that belongs to the events directory to retrieve the default uid and gid values.

This is true for files that have not had a chown or chgrp done to itself or any of its sibling files, as the attr is allocated for all children when any one needs it. # umount /sys/kernel/tracing # mount -o rw,seclabel,relatime,gid=1000 -t tracefs nodev /mnt # ls -ld /mnt/events/sched drwxr-xr-x 28 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/ # ls -ld /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch drwxr-xr-x 2 root rostedt 0 Dec 21 13:12 /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch/ But when checking the files: # ls -l /mnt/events/sched/sched_switch total 0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 enable -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 filter -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 format -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 hist -r--r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 id -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 13:12 trigger (b) When the attr does not denote the UID or GID, it defaulted to using the parent uid or gid. This is incorrect as changing the parent uid or gid will automatically change all its children. # chgrp tracing /mnt/events/timer # ls -ld /mnt/events/timer drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:34 /mnt/events/timer # ls -l /mnt/events/timer total 0 -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 14:35 enable -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 14:35 filter drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_cancel drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_expire_entry drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_expire_exit drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_init drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 hrtimer_start drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 itimer_expire drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 itimer_state drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 tick_stop drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_cancel drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_expire_entry drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_expire_exit drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_init drwxr-xr-x 2 root tracing 0 Dec 21 14:35 timer_start At first it was thought that this could be easily fixed by just making the default ownership of the superblock when it was mounted. But this does not handle the case of: # chgrp tracing instances # mkdir instances/foo If the superblock was used, then the group ownership would be that of what it was when it was mounted, when it should instead be "tracing". Instead, set a flag for the top level eventfs directory ("events") to flag which eventfs_inode belongs to it. Since the "events" directory's dentry and inode are never freed, it does not need to use its attr field to restore its mode and ownership. Use the this eventfs_inode's attr as the default ownership for all the files and directories underneath it. When the events eventfs_inode is created, it sets its ownership to its parent uid and gid. As the events directory is created at boot up before it gets mounted, this will always be uid=0 and gid=0. If it's created via an instance, then it will take the ownership of the instance directory. When the file system is mounted, it will update all the gids if one is specified. This will have a callback to update the events evenfs_inode's default entries. When a file or directory is created under the events directory, it will walk the ei->dentry parents until it finds the evenfs_inode that belongs to the events directory to retrieve the default uid and gid values.

eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode 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.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei. This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any random dentry. The magic child dentry array that is kind of a "reverse reference list" is simply replaced by having child dentries take a ref to the ei. As does the directory dentries. That makes the broken use case go away.

eventfs/tracing: Add callback for release of an eventfs_inode 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.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei. This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any random dentry. The magic child dentry array that is kind of a "reverse reference list" is simply replaced by having child dentries take a ref to the ei. As does the directory dentries. That makes the broken use case go away.

eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode 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.

eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts The eventfs inode had pointers to dentries (and child dentries) without actually holding a refcount on said pointer. That is fundamentally broken, and while eventfs tried to then maintain coherence with dentries going away by hooking into the '.d_iput' callback, that doesn't actually work since it's not ordered wrt lookups. There were two reasonms why eventfs tried to keep a pointer to a dentry: - the creation of a 'events' directory would actually have a stable dentry pointer that it created with tracefs_start_creating(). And it needed that dentry when tearing it all down again in eventfs_remove_events_dir(). This use is actually ok, because the special top-level events directory dentries are actually stable, not just a temporary cache of the eventfs data structures. - the 'eventfs_inode' (aka ei) needs to stay around as long as there are dentries that refer to it. It then used these dentry pointers as a replacement for doing reference counting: it would try to make sure that there was only ever one dentry associated with an event_inode, and keep a child dentry array around to see which dentries might still refer to the parent ei. This gets rid of the invalid dentry pointer use, and renames the one valid case to a different name to make it clear that it's not just any random dentry. The magic child dentry array that is kind of a "reverse reference list" is simply replaced by having child dentries take a ref to the ei. As does the directory dentries. That makes the broken use case go away.

eventfs: Hold eventfs_mutex and SRCU when remount walks events Commit 340f0c7067a9 ("eventfs: Update all the eventfs_inodes from the events descriptor") had eventfs_set_attrs() recurse through ei->children on remount. The walk only holds the rcu_read_lock() taken by tracefs_apply_options() over tracefs_inodes, which is wrong: - list_for_each_entry over ei->children races with the list_del_rcu() in eventfs_remove_rec() -- LIST_POISON1 deref, same shape as d2603279c7d6. - eventfs_inodes are freed via call_srcu(&eventfs_srcu, ...). rcu_read_lock() does not extend an SRCU grace period, so ti->private can be reclaimed under the walk. - The writes to ei->attr race with eventfs_set_attr(), which holds eventfs_mutex. Reproducer: while :; do mount -o remount,uid=$((RANDOM%1000)) /sys/kernel/tracing; done & while :; do echo "p:kp submit_bio" > /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events echo > /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events done Wrap the events portion of tracefs_apply_options() in eventfs_remount_lock()/_unlock() that take eventfs_mutex and srcu_read_lock(&eventfs_srcu). eventfs_set_attrs() doesn't sleep so the nested rcu_read_lock() is fine; lockdep_assert_held() pins the contract. Comment in tracefs_drop_inode() said "RCU cycle" -- it is SRCU.
