- Fix UAF in module unload in ftrace when there's a bug in the module If a module is buggy and triggers ftrace_disable which is set when an anomaly is detected, when it gets unloaded it doesn't free the hooks into kallsyms, and when a kallsyms lookup is performed it may access the mod->modname field and crash via UAF. Fix this by still freeing the mod_maps that are attached to kallsyms on module unload regardless if ftrace_disable is set or not. - Do not bother allocating mod_maps for kallsyms if ftrace_disable is set - Remove unused trace events When a trace event or tracepoint is created but not used, it still creates the code and data structures needed for that trace event. This just wastes memory. A patch is being worked on to warn when a trace event is created but not used: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250529130138.544ffec4@gandalf.local.home/ Remove the trace events that are created but not used. This does not remove trace events that are created but are not used due configs not being set. That will be handled later. This only removes events that have no user under any config. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYKADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCaD9LohQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qvrRAP4xRH01dQ3HkNF3mtKXuHEh8NbTlCEE 8wYyiI8ttjVdGAEAzq5sx2BQN2Of4RLOwYtxJSigZgmJjYYGmobeHISPjwc= =d2Cp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.16-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix UAF in module unload in ftrace when there's a bug in the module If a module is buggy and triggers ftrace_disable which is set when an anomaly is detected, when it gets unloaded it doesn't free the hooks into kallsyms, and when a kallsyms lookup is performed it may access the mod->modname field and crash via UAF.
