Module unload is protected by event_mutex, while setting filter is protected by filter_mutex. This leads to the race: echo 'bar == 0 || bar == 10' \ | > sample/filter | | insmod sample.ko add_pred("bar == 0") | -> n_preds == 1 | add_pred("bar == 100") | -> n_preds == 2 | | rmmod sample.ko | insmod sample.ko add_pred("&&") | -> n_preds == 1 (should be 3) | Now event->filter->preds is corrupted. An then when filter_match_preds() is called, the WARN_ON() in it will be triggered. To avoid the race, we remove filter_mutex, and replace it with event_mutex.

The ring buffer is made up of three sets of pointers. The head page pointer, which points to the next page for the reader to get. The commit pointer and commit index, which points to the page and index of the last committed write respectively. The tail pointer and tail index, which points to the page and the index of the last reserved data respectively (non committed). The commit pointer is only moved forward by the outer most writer. If a nested writer comes in, it will not move the pointer forward. The current implementation has a flaw. It assumes that the outer most writer successfully reserved data. There's a small race window where the outer most writer could find the tail pointer, but a nested writer could come in (via interrupt) and move the tail forward, and even the commit forward. The outer writer would not realized the commit moved forward and the accounting will break. This patch changes the design to use counters in the per cpu buffers to keep track of commits. The counters are incremented at the start of the commit, and decremented at the end. If the end commit counter is 1, then it moves the commit pointers. A loop is made to check for races between checking and moving the commit pointers. Only the outer commit should move the pointers anyway. The test of knowing if a reserve is equal to the last commit update is still needed to know for time keeping. The time code is much less racey than the commit updates. This change not only solves the mentioned race, but also makes the code simpler. [ Impact: fix commit race and simplify code ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

With the addition of commit: c7b09308 ring-buffer: prevent adding write in discarded area The ring buffer may now add discarded events when a write passes the end of a buffer page. Before, a discarded event was only added when the tracer deliberately created one. The ring buffer benchmark test does not handle discarded events when it reads the buffer and fails when it encounters one. Also fix the increment for large data entries (luckily, the test did not add any yet). [ Impact: fix false failure of ring buffer self test ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

This a very tight race where an interrupt could come in and not have enough data to put into the end of a buffer page, and that it would fail to write and need to go to the next page. But if this happened when another writer was about to reserver their data, and that writer has smaller data to reserve, then it could succeed even though the interrupt moved the tail page. To pervent that, if we fail to store data, and by subtracting the amount we reserved we still have room for smaller data, we need to fill that space with "discarded" data.

It's tracing_cpumask_new that should be kfree()ed. This causes tracing_cpumask to be freed due to the typo: # echo z > tracing_cpumask bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument And subsequent reads/writes to tracing_cpuamsk will access this already-freed tracing_cpumask, thus may lead to crash.
