tracefs: Add missing lockdown check to tracefs_create_dir()

2023-09-23T09:11:12+00:00

commit 51aab5ffceb43e05119eb059048fd75765d2bc21 upstream. The function tracefs_create_dir() was missing a lockdown check and was called by the RV code. This gave an inconsistent behavior of this function returning success while other tracefs functions failed. This caused the inode being freed by the wrong kmem_cache.

tracefs: Only clobber mode/uid/gid on remount if asked

2022-09-08T21:10:54+00:00

Users may have explicitly configured their tracefs permissions; we shouldn't overwrite those just because a second mount appeared. Only clobber if the options were provided at mount time. Note: the previous behavior was especially surprising in the presence of automounted /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/. Existing behavior: ## Pre-existing status: tracefs is 0755. # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/ drwxr-xr-x ## (Re)trigger the automount. # umount /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/. drwx------ ## Unexpected: the automount changed mode for other mount instances. # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/ drwx------ New behavior (after this change): ## Pre-existing status: tracefs is 0755. # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/ drwxr-xr-x ## (Re)trigger the automount. # umount /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/. drwxr-xr-x ## Expected: the automount does not change other mount instances. # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/ drwxr-xr-x Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220826174353.2.Iab6e5ea57963d6deca5311b27fb7226790d44406@changeid Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 4282d60689d4f ("tracefs: Add new tracefs file system") Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google)

tracefs: Set the group ownership in apply_options() not parse_options()

2022-02-26T02:05:04+00:00

Al Viro brought it to my attention that the dentries may not be filled when the parse_options() is called, causing the call to set_gid() to possibly crash. It should only be called if parse_options() succeeds totally anyway. He suggested the logical place to do the update is in apply_options().

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New: - The Real Time Linux Analysis (RTLA) tool is added to the tools directory. - Can safely filter on user space pointers with: field.ustring ~ "match-string" - eprobes can now be filtered like any other event. - trace_marker(_raw) now uses stream_open() to allow multiple threads to safely write to it. Note, this could possibly break existing user space, but we will not know until we hear about it, and then can revert the change if need be. - New field in events to display when bottom halfs are disabled. - Sorting of the ftrace functions are now done at compile time instead of at bootup. Infrastructure changes to support future efforts: - Added __rel_loc type for trace events. Similar to __data_loc but the offset to the dynamic data is based off of the location of the descriptor and not the beginning of the event. Needed for user defined events. - Some simplification of event trigger code. - Make synthetic events process its callback better to not hinder other event callbacks that are registered. Needed for user defined events. And other small fixes and cleanups" * tag 'trace-v5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (50 commits) tracing: Add ustring operation to filtering string pointers rtla: Add rtla timerlat hist documentation rtla: Add rtla timerlat top documentation rtla: Add rtla timerlat documentation rtla: Add rtla osnoise hist documentation rtla: Add rtla osnoise top documentation rtla: Add rtla osnoise man page rtla: Add Documentation rtla/timerlat: Add timerlat hist mode rtla: Add timerlat tool and timelart top mode rtla/osnoise: Add the hist mode rtla/osnoise: Add osnoise top mode rtla: Add osnoise tool rtla: Helper functions for rtla rtla: Real-Time Linux Analysis tool tracing/osnoise: Properly unhook events if start_per_cpu_kthreads() fails tracing: Remove duplicate warnings when calling trace_create_file() tracing/kprobes: 'nmissed' not showed correctly for kretprobe tracing: Add test for user space strings when filtering on string pointers tracing: Have syscall trace events use trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() ...

tracefs: Use d_inode() helper function to get the dentry inode

2021-12-11T14:34:31+00:00

Instead of referencing the inode from a dentry via dentry->d_inode, use the helper function d_inode(dentry) instead. This is the considered the correct way to access it.

tracefs: Set all files to the same group ownership as the mount option

2021-12-08T13:06:40+00:00

As people have been asking to allow non-root processes to have access to the tracefs directory, it was considered best to only allow groups to have access to the directory, where it is easier to just set the tracefs file system to a specific group (as other would be too dangerous), and that way the admins could pick which processes would have access to tracefs. Unfortunately, this broke tooling on Android that expected the other bit to be set. For some special cases, for non-root tools to trace the system, tracefs would be mounted and change the permissions of the top level directory which gave access to all running tasks permission to the tracing directory. Even though this would be dangerous to do in a production environment, for testing environments this can be useful. Now with the new changes to not allow other (which is still the proper thing to do), it breaks the testing tooling. Now more code needs to be loaded on the system to change ownership of the tracing directory. The real solution is to have tracefs honor the gid=xxx option when mounting. That is, (tracing group tracing has value 1003) mount -t tracefs -o gid=1003 tracefs /sys/kernel/tracing should have it that all files in the tracing directory should be of the given group. Copy the logic from d_walk() from dcache.c and simplify it for the mount case of tracefs if gid is set. All the files in tracefs will be walked and their group will be set to the value passed in.

tracefs: Have new files inherit the ownership of their parent

2021-12-08T13:06:29+00:00

If directories in tracefs have their ownership changed, then any new files and directories that are created under those directories should inherit the ownership of the director they are created in.

tracefs: Have tracefs directories not set OTH permission bits by default

2021-10-08T22:08:43+00:00

The tracefs file system is by default mounted such that only root user can access it. But there are legitimate reasons to create a group and allow those added to the group to have access to tracing. By changing the permissions of the tracefs mount point to allow access, it will allow group access to the tracefs directory. There should not be any real reason to allow all access to the tracefs directory as it contains sensitive information. Have the default permission of directories being created not have any OTH (other) bits set, such that an admin that wants to give permission to a group has to first disable all OTH bits in the file system.
