Steven Rostedt 435d2964af tracing: Fix bad hist from corrupting named_triggers list 
commit 6f86bdeab6 upstream.

The following commands causes a crash:

 ~# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/events/rcu/rcu_callback
 ~# echo 'hist:name=bad:keys=common_pid:onmax(bogus).save(common_pid)' > trigger
 bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
 ~# echo 'hist:name=bad:keys=common_pid' > trigger

Because the following occurs:

event_trigger_write() {
  trigger_process_regex() {
    event_hist_trigger_parse() {

      data = event_trigger_alloc(..);

      event_trigger_register(.., data) {
        cmd_ops->reg(.., data, ..) [hist_register_trigger()] {
          data->ops->init() [event_hist_trigger_init()] {
            save_named_trigger(name, data) {
              list_add(&data->named_list, &named_triggers);
            }
          }
        }
      }

      ret = create_actions(); (return -EINVAL)
      if (ret)
        goto out_unreg;
[..]
      ret = hist_trigger_enable(data, ...) {
        list_add_tail_rcu(&data->list, &file->triggers); <<<---- SKIPPED!!! (this is important!)
[..]
 out_unreg:
      event_hist_unregister(.., data) {
        cmd_ops->unreg(.., data, ..) [hist_unregister_trigger()] {
          list_for_each_entry(iter, &file->triggers, list) {
            if (!hist_trigger_match(data, iter, named_data, false))   <- never matches
                continue;
            [..]
            test = iter;
          }
          if (test && test->ops->free) <<<-- test is NULL

            test->ops->free(test) [event_hist_trigger_free()] {
              [..]
              if (data->name)
                del_named_trigger(data) {
                  list_del(&data->named_list);  <<<<-- NEVER gets removed!
                }
              }
           }
         }

         [..]
         kfree(data); <<<-- frees item but it is still on list

The next time a hist with name is registered, it causes an u-a-f bug and
the kernel can crash.

Move the code around such that if event_trigger_register() succeeds, the
next thing called is hist_trigger_enable() which adds it to the list.

A bunch of actions is called if get_named_trigger_data() returns false.
But that doesn't need to be called after event_trigger_register(), so it
can be moved up, allowing event_trigger_register() to be called just
before hist_trigger_enable() keeping them together and allowing the
file->triggers to be properly populated.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
