stable inclusion from stable-5.10.54 commit 0edad8b9f65d93fb3578246fe61c4c0cb2c474a9 bugzilla: 175586 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4DVDU
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit 352384d5c84ebe40fa77098cc234fe173247d8ef upstream.
Because of the significant overhead that retpolines pose on indirect calls, the tracepoint code was updated to use the new "static_calls" that can modify the running code to directly call a function instead of using an indirect caller, and this function can be changed at runtime.
In the tracepoint code that calls all the registered callbacks that are attached to a tracepoint, the following is done:
it_func_ptr = rcu_dereference_raw((&__tracepoint_##name)->funcs); if (it_func_ptr) { __data = (it_func_ptr)->data; static_call(tp_func_##name)(__data, args); }
If there's just a single callback, the static_call is updated to just call that callback directly. Once another handler is added, then the static caller is updated to call the iterator, that simply loops over all the funcs in the array and calls each of the callbacks like the old method using indirect calling.
The issue was discovered with a race between updating the funcs array and updating the static_call. The funcs array was updated first and then the static_call was updated. This is not an issue as long as the first element in the old array is the same as the first element in the new array. But that assumption is incorrect, because callbacks also have a priority field, and if there's a callback added that has a higher priority than the callback on the old array, then it will become the first callback in the new array. This means that it is possible to call the old callback with the new callback data element, which can cause a kernel panic.
static_call = callback1() funcs[] = {callback1,data1}; callback2 has higher priority than callback1
CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- -----
new_funcs = {callback2,data2}, {callback1,data1}
rcu_assign_pointer(tp->funcs, new_funcs);
/* * Now tp->funcs has the new array * but the static_call still calls callback1 */
it_func_ptr = tp->funcs [ new_funcs ] data = it_func_ptr->data [ data2 ] static_call(callback1, data);
/* Now callback1 is called with * callback2's data */
[ KERNEL PANIC ]
update_static_call(iterator);
To prevent this from happening, always switch the static_call to the iterator before assigning the tp->funcs to the new array. The iterator will always properly match the callback with its data.
To trigger this bug:
In one terminal:
while :; do hackbench 50; done
In another terminal
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/enable while :; do echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event_pid; sleep 0.5 echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event_pid; sleep 0.5 done
And it doesn't take long to crash. This is because the set_event_pid adds a callback to the sched_waking tracepoint with a high priority, which will be called before the sched_waking trace event callback is called.
Note, the removal to a single callback updates the array first, before changing the static_call to single callback, which is the proper order as the first element in the array is the same as what the static_call is being changed to.
