There are several scenarios that have come up where having a user_event
persist even if the process that registered it exits. The main one is
having a daemon create events on bootup that shouldn't get deleted if
the daemon has to exit or reload. Another is within OpenTelemetry
exporters, they wish to potentially check if a user_event exists on the
system to determine if exporting the data out should occur. The
user_event in this case must exist even in the absence of the owning
process running (such as the above daemon case).
Expose the previously internal flag USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST to user
processes. Upon register or delete of events with this flag, ensure the
user is perfmon_capable to prevent random user processes with access to
tracefs from creating events that persist after exit.

All architectures should use a long aligned address passed to set_bit().
User processes can pass either a 32-bit or 64-bit sized value to be
updated when tracing is enabled when on a 64-bit kernel. Both cases are
ensured to be naturally aligned, however, that is not enough. The
address must be long aligned without affecting checks on the value
within the user process which require different adjustments for the bit
for little and big endian CPUs.
Add a compat flag to user_event_enabler that indicates when a 32-bit
value is being used on a 64-bit kernel. Long align addresses and correct
the bit to be used by set_bit() to account for this alignment. Ensure
compat flags are copied during forks and used during deletion clears.

Several of the list traversals in the user_events facility use safe list
traversals where they could be using the unsafe versions instead.
Replace these safe traversals with their unsafe counterparts in the
interest of optimization.

When users register an event the name of the event and it's argument are
checked to ensure they match if the event already exists. Normally all
arguments are in the form of "type name", except for when the type
starts with "struct ". In those cases, the size of the struct is passed
in addition to the name, IE: "struct my_struct a 20" for an argument
that is of type "struct my_struct" with a field name of "a" and has the
size of 20 bytes.
The current code does not honor the above case properly when comparing
a match. This causes the event register to fail even when the same
string was used for events that contain a struct argument within them.
The example above "struct my_struct a 20" generates a match string of
"struct my_struct a" omitting the size field.
Add the struct size of the existing field when generating a comparison
string for a struct field to ensure proper match checking.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Fix user event write on buffer disabled.
The user events write currently returns the size of what was supposed
to be written when tracing is disabled and nothing was written.
Instead, behave like trace_marker and return -EBADF, as that is what
is returned if a file is opened for read only, and a write is
performed on it. Writing to the buffer that is disabled is like trying
to write to a file opened for read only, as the buffer still can be
read, but just not written to.
This also includes test cases for this use case"

Currently user events need to be manually deleted via the delete IOCTL
call or via the dynamic_events file. Most operators and processes wish
to have these events auto cleanup when they are no longer used by
anything to prevent them piling without manual maintenance. However,
some operators may not want this, such as pre-registering events via the
dynamic_events tracefs file.
Update user_event_put() to attempt an auto delete of the event if it's
the last reference. The auto delete must run in a work queue to ensure
proper behavior of class->reg() invocations that don't expect the call
to go away from underneath them during the unregister. Add work_struct
to user_event struct to ensure we can do this reliably.
Add a persist flag, that is not yet exposed, to ensure we can toggle
between auto-cleanup and leaving the events existing in the future. When
a non-zero flag is seen during register, return -EINVAL to ensure ABI
is clear for the user processes while we work out the best approach for
persistent events.

Various parts of the code today track user_event's refcnt field directly
via a refcount_add/dec. This makes it hard to modify the behavior of the
last reference decrement in all code paths consistently. For example, in
the future we will auto-delete events upon the last reference going
away. This last reference could happen in many places, but we want it to
be consistently handled.
Add user_event_get() and user_event_put() for the add/dec. Update all
places where direct refcounts are being used to utilize these new
functions. In each location pass if event_mutex is locked or not. This
allows us to drop events automatically in future patches clearly. Ensure
when caller states the lock is held, it really is (or is not) held.

Currently we don't have any available flags for user processes to use to

anyone.

functions to allow for this in future patches.

During discussions it was suggested that user_ns is not a good place to
try to attach a tracing namespace. The current code has stubs to enable
that work that are very likely to change and incur a performance cost.
Remove the user_ns walk when creating a group and determining the system
name to use, since it's unlikely user_ns will be used in the future.

During 6.4 development it became clear that the one-shot list used by
the user_event_mm's next field was confusing to others. It is not clear
how this list is protected or what the next field usage is for unless
you are familiar with the code.
Add comments into the user_event_mm struct indicating lock requirement
and usage. Also document how and why this approach was used via comments
in both user_event_enabler_update() and user_event_mm_get_all() and the
rules to properly use it.

Currently most list_head fields of various structs within user_events
are simply named link. This causes folks to keep additional context in
their head when working with the code, which can be confusing.
Instead of using link, describe what the actual link is, for example:
list_del_rcu(&mm->link);
Changes into:
list_del_rcu(&mm->mms_link);
The reader now is given a hint the link is to the mms global list
instead of having to remember or spot check within the code.

pin_user_pages_remote() can reschedule which means we cannot hold any
RCU lock while using it. Now that enablers are not exposed out to the
tracing register callbacks during fork(), there is clearly no need to
require the RCU lock as event_mutex is enough to protect changes.
Remove unneeded RCU usages when pinning pages and walking enablers with
event_mutex held. Cleanup a misleading "safe" list walk that is not
needed. During fork() duplication, remove unneeded RCU list add, since
the list is not exposed yet.

When a new mm is being created in a fork() path it currently is
allocated and then attached in one go. This leaves the mm exposed out to
the tracing register callbacks while any parent enabler locations are
copied in. This should not happen.
Split up mm alloc and attach as unique operations. When duplicating
enablers, first alloc, then duplicate, and only upon success, attach.
This prevents any timing window outside of the event_reg mutex for
enablement walking. This allows for dropping RCU requirement for
enablement walking in later patches.

Each event stores a int to track which bit to set/clear when enablement
changes. On big endian 64-bit configurations, it's possible this could
cause memory corruption when it's used for atomic bit operations.
Use unsigned long for enablement values to ensure any possible
corruption cannot occur. Downcast to int after mask for the bit target.

When event enablement changes, user_events attempts to update a bit in
the user process. If a fault is hit, an attempt to fault-in the page and
the write is retried if the page made it in. While this normally requires
a couple attempts, it is possible a bad user process could attempt to
cause infinite loops.
Ensure fault-in attempts either sync or async are limited to a max of 10
attempts for each update. When the max is hit, return -EFAULT so another
attempt is not made in all cases.

User processes register an address and bit pair for events. If the same
address and bit pair are registered multiple times in the same process,
it can cause undefined behavior when events are enabled/disabled.
When more than one are used, the bit could be turned off by another
event being disabled, while the original event is still enabled.
Prevent undefined behavior by checking the current mm to see if any
event has already been registered for the address and bit pair. Return
EADDRINUSE back to the user process if it's already being used.

Currently, user events are shown using the "hex" output for "safety"
reasons as one cannot trust user events behaving nicely. But the hex
output is not the only utility for safe outputting of trace events. The
print_event_fields() is just as safe and gives user readable output.

system for kernel components as well as for user components. Since there
are only up to 64K events, by default allow up to half to be used by
user events.
Add a kernel sysctl parameter (kernel.user_events_max) to set a global
limit that is honored among all groups on the system. This ensures hard
limits can be setup to prevent user processes from consuming all event
IDs on the system.

Operators need a way to limit how much memory cgroups use. User events need
to be included into that accounting. Fix this by using GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT
for allocations generated by user programs for user_event tracing.

Enablements are now tracked by the lifetime of the task/mm. User
processes need to be able to disable their addresses if tracing is
requested to be turned off. Before unmapping the page would suffice.
However, we now need a stronger contract. Add an ioctl to enable this.
A new flag bit is added, freeing, to user_event_enabler to ensure that
if the event is attempted to be removed while a fault is being handled
that the remove is delayed until after the fault is reattempted.

When events are enabled within the various tracing facilities, such as
ftrace/perf, the event_mutex is held. As events are enabled pages are
accessed. We do not want page faults to occur under this lock. Instead
queue the fault to a workqueue to be handled in a process context safe
way without the lock.
The enable address is marked faulting while the async fault-in occurs.
This ensures that we don't attempt to fault-in more than is necessary.
Once the page has been faulted in, an address write is re-attempted.
If the page couldn't fault-in, then we wait until the next time the
event is enabled to prevent any potential infinite loops.

As part of the discussions for user_events aligned with user space
tracers, it was determined that user programs should register a aligned
value to set or clear a bit when an event becomes enabled. Currently a
shared page is being used that requires mmap(). Remove the shared page
implementation and move to a user registered address implementation.
In this new model during the event registration from user programs 3 new
values are specified. The first is the address to update when the event
is either enabled or disabled. The second is the bit to set/clear to
reflect the event being enabled. The third is the size of the value at
the specified address.
This allows for a local 32/64-bit value in user programs to support
both kernel and user tracers. As an example, setting bit 31 for kernel
tracers when the event becomes enabled allows for user tracers to use
the other bits for ref counts or other flags. The kernel side updates
the bit atomically, user programs need to also update these values
atomically.
User provided addresses must be aligned on a natural boundary, this
allows for single page checking and prevents odd behaviors such as a
enable value straddling 2 pages instead of a single page. Currently
page faults are only logged, future patches will handle these.

The UAPI parts need to be split out from the kernel parts of user_events
now that other parts of the kernel will reference it. Do so by moving
the existing include/linux/user_events.h into
include/uapi/linux/user_events.h.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add options to the osnoise tracer:
- 'panic_on_stop' option that panics the kernel if osnoise is
greater than some user defined threshold.
- 'preempt' option, to test noise while preemption is disabled
- 'irq' option, to test noise when interrupts are disabled
- Add .percent and .graph suffix to histograms to give different
outputs
- Add nohitcount to disable showing hitcount in histogram output
- Add new __cpumask() to trace event fields to annotate that a unsigned
long array is a cpumask to user space and should be treated as one.

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.
Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...

In order to enable namespaces or any sort of isolation within
user_events the register lock and pages need to be broken up into
groups. Each event and file now has a group pointer which stores the
actual pages to map, lookup data and synchronization objects.
This only enables a single group that maps to init_user_ns, as IMA
namespace has done. This enables user_events to start the work of
supporting namespaces by walking the namespaces up to the init_user_ns.
Future patches will address other user namespaces and will align to the
approaches the IMA namespace uses.

User processes may require many events and when they do the cache
performance of a byte index status check is less ideal than a bit index.
The previous event limit per-page was 4096, the new limit is 32,768.
This change adds a bitwise index to the user_reg struct. Programs check
that the bit at status_bit has a bit set within the status page(s).

User processes could open up enough event references to cause rollovers.
These could cause use after free scenarios, which we do not want.
Switching to refcount APIs prevent this, but will leak memory once
saturated.
Once saturated, user processes can still use the events. This prevents
a bad user process from stopping existing telemetry from being emitted.

While user_events API is under development and has been marked for broken
to not let the API become fixed, move the header file out of the uapi
directory. This is to prevent it from being installed, then later changed,
and then have an old distro user space update with a new kernel, where
applications see the user_events being available, but the old header is in
place, and then they get compiled incorrectly.
Also, surround the include with CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST to the current
location, but when the BROKEN tag is taken off, it will use the uapi
directory, and fail to compile. This is a good way to remind us to move
the header back.

Tracefs by default is locked down heavily. System operators can open up
some files, such as user_events to a broader set of users. These users
do not have access within tracefs beyond just the user_event files. Due
to this restriction the trace_add_event_call/remove calls will silently
fail since the caller does not have permissions to create directories.
To fix this trace_add_event_call/remove calls will be issued with
override creds of the global root UID. Creds are reverted immediately
afterward.
