Luo Gengkun 3f9b5dfbc4 tracing: Fix tracing_marker may trigger page fault during preempt_disable [ Upstream commit `3d62ab32df` ] Both tracing_mark_write and tracing_mark_raw_write call __copy_from_user_inatomic during preempt_disable. But in some case, __copy_from_user_inatomic may trigger page fault, and will call schedule() subtly. And if a task is migrated to other cpu, the following warning will be trigger: if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, !local_read(&cpu_buffer->committing))) An example can illustrate this issue: process flow CPU --------------------------------------------------------------------- tracing_mark_raw_write(): cpu:0 ... ring_buffer_lock_reserve(): cpu:0 ... cpu = raw_smp_processor_id() cpu:0 cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] cpu:0 ... ... __copy_from_user_inatomic(): cpu:0 ... # page fault do_mem_abort(): cpu:0 ... # Call schedule schedule() cpu:0 ... # the task schedule to cpu1 __buffer_unlock_commit(): cpu:1 ... ring_buffer_unlock_commit(): cpu:1 ... cpu = raw_smp_processor_id() cpu:1 cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] cpu:1 As shown above, the process will acquire cpuid twice and the return values are not the same. To fix this problem using copy_from_user_nofault instead of __copy_from_user_inatomic, as the former performs 'access_ok' before copying.

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.
