Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Don't destroy user event fields when removal fails User event fields are destroyed before the event is removed from visibility. But that can fail leaving the still visible event with no fields. Move the destroying of the fields to after the event is successfully removed from visibility. - Initialize function graph state is fork before calling copy_exec_state() For non-CLONE_VM forks, copy_exec_state() allocates a new task_exec_state. If that allocation fails, ftrace_graph_exit_task() will free the tasks ret_stack pointer. Since that pointer is still using the parent's ret_stack, it mistakenly frees the parent's pointer too. Call ftrace_graph_init() on the task first which will NULL out the new tasks's ret_stack and if the copy fails, it will not free anything. - Remove FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX The macro FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX was added but never used. Remove it. - Save ent_size in function graph printing of nested functions The function graph tracer needs to look at the next event to see if the next event is the return of the current function entry. If it is, it prints a single line: ktime_get(); Otherwise it prints it like a nested function: tick_nohz_irq_exit() { ktime_get(); kcpustat_irq_exit(); } In order to look at the next event, it must save the current event so that it has the information to print from it. It saves the event in the iterator descriptor called "ent". What it doesn't save is the ent_size of the event which is now used to know if the function graph arguments are to be printed. The peek doesn't save the size so the size used happens to be that of the size of the last event that was seen. Save the entry event size in the iterator descriptor so that the correct size is used. - Fix several errors with freeing data in the histogram code The histogram code had a lot of leaked or or incorrect accounting when failures happen. Correct them. - Fix histogram regression of .percent and .graph modifiers Up until 6.3 histogram values could have "percent" or "graph" modifiers that changed how they were printed. But a change that added restricting histograms values from being strings, stack traces and other modifiers inadvertently prevented them from using the percent and graph modifiers, which were legal use cases for values. Put back the percent and graph modifiers. - Fix various typos in the comments - Set the trace_clock before initializing a histogram with clock argument The histogram API allows the user to specific which trace clock to use via a "clock=" string. The histogram is set up first before the clock is checked. If the passed in clock is not valid, it exits without fully fixing up the histogram leaving it on the list and a use-after-free can trigger. Update the clock argument first and if it fails then exit gracefully before the histogram trigger is placed on any lists. - Restore :mod: trailer after parsing in ftrace_set_clr_event The function ftrace_set_clr_event() modifies the parse string and needs to put it back to what was passed in. It searches for ":mod:" via a strsep() but fails to put back the first ':' in the string. Add back the ':' in the passed in string. - Take trace_array reference when opening a tracer options file The options files are dynamically created and some tracers add their own options. When a tracer adds their own list of options, the trace_array holding them has an array to hold the list of options for each tracer. This array increases in size via a krealloc(), and the new entry gets a newly allocated array to hold the options of the new tracer being added. The element in each entry of the tracer's option array holds a pointer back to the trace_array, a pointer to the tracer it is associated to, a pointer to the flags of the option. The issue is that these arrays are freed when the trace_array is freed when its instance it represents is removed from the instances directory. There's a race that an open of one of these options files can happen when the instance is being removed. Add a new helper function to be called by the open function of the options file to iterate all existing trace_arrays under a lock and find the one that has the given option element in one of it's tracer arrays. If found, then update the associated trace_array's reference counter to keep it from being freed. If not found, have the open call return -ENODEV. - Disable interrupts when acquiring the lock in rb_wake_up_waiters() The function rb_wake_up_waiters() assumes it will be called in interrupt context and does not disable irqs when taking cpu_buffer->reader_lock, which can be called in hard interrupt context. The issue is in PREEMPT_RT, this function is called in thread context leaving this lock open to a deadlock. Take the lock with interrupts disabled. - Use rcu_assign_pointer() for tmp_ops filter hash The tmp_ops used in update_ftrace_direct_mod() assigns its filter_hash field directly, but that field is annotated as __rcu and sparse complains. Assign it with rcu_assign_pointer() - Fix use-after-free in enable_trigger_private_data_free() The trace_event_call is accessed through the event_trigger_data's trace_event_file pointer to put the trace_event_call on freeing. The issue is that the trace_event_file data may have been freed already causing a use-after-free. Add a field to the event_trigger_data that points directly to the trace_event_call so that it can decrement its reference directly without needing to go through the trace_event_file. - Fix accounting of buffer data remote headers trace_buffer_desc_size() and trace_remote_alloc_buffer() undercount the number of pages is needed for the asked for size as it doesn't take into account the meta data on each page. Add a helper function to do the calculation properly and use that in these functions. - Catch nr_page_va overflow in ring_buffer_desc sizing The number of pages per remote ring buffer is capped by ring_buffer_desc::nr_page_va (32 bits). A buffer_size large enough to overflow that field would silently allocate a descriptor smaller than what was asked for. - Do not resize the subbuf order if any per_cpu buffer is disabled The mmapping of ring buffers disables resizing the subbuffers, but it is done per-cpu whereas the subbuf size change is done for all the per_cpu buffers under the buffer->mutex. It could change the size of some while the mapping is happening on others. Have the resize of the subbuf order check all the per_cpu buffers under the lock to see if any of them is disabled before starting and causing an inconsistency between buffers that are being mapped. * tag 'trace-v7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (25 commits) ring-buffer: Check resize_disabled before publishing the new subbuf order tracing/remotes: Catch nr_page_va overflow in ring_buffer_desc sizing tracing/remotes: Account for ring buffer page header in size calculation tracing: Don't dereference trace_event_file in deferred trigger free ftrace: Use rcu_assign_pointer() for tmp_ops filter hash ring-buffer: Acquire the lock with irqsave in rb_wake_up_waiters() tracing: Take trace_array reference when opening a tracer options file tracing: Fix ring_buffer_read_page_size() kernel-doc tracing: Restore :mod: trailer after parsing in ftrace_set_clr_event() tracing: Fix memory corruption from a "STACKTRACE" histogram key tracing: Fix memory corruption from the histogram stacktrace modifier tracing: Undo the registration when enabling the histogram trigger fails tracing: Take the reference before publishing the named histogram trigger tracing: Set the trace clock before registering the histogram trigger tracing: Fix typo "preceeded" in comment tracing: Fix typo "availabe" in comment tracing: Let histogram values keep the percent and graph modifiers tracing: Keep the entry count when the histogram stats allocation fails tracing: Free histogram the field rejected for a bad modifier tracing: Free histogram the var ref when its initialization fails ...

+The Definitive SEV Guest API Documentation
+===================================================================
+
+1. General description
+======================
+
+The SEV API is a set of ioctls that are used by the guest or hypervisor
+to get or set a certain aspect of the SEV virtual machine. The ioctls belong
+to the following classes:
+
+ - Hypervisor ioctls: These query and set global attributes which affect the
+ whole SEV firmware. These ioctl are used by platform provisioning tools.
+
+ - Guest ioctls: These query and set attributes of the SEV virtual machine.
+
+2. API description
+==================
+
+This section describes ioctls that is used for querying the SEV guest report
+from the SEV firmware. For each ioctl, the following information is provided
+along with a description:
+
+ Technology:
+ which SEV technology provides this ioctl. SEV, SEV-ES, SEV-SNP or all.
+
+ Type:
+ hypervisor or guest. The ioctl can be used inside the guest or the
+ hypervisor.
+
+ Parameters:
+ what parameters are accepted by the ioctl.
+
+ Returns:
+ the return value. General error numbers (-ENOMEM, -EINVAL)
+ are not detailed, but errors with specific meanings are.
+
+The guest ioctl should be issued on a file descriptor of the /dev/sev-guest
+device. The ioctl accepts struct snp_user_guest_request. The input and
+output structure is specified through the req_data and resp_data field
+respectively. If the ioctl fails to execute due to a firmware error, then
+the fw_error code will be set, otherwise fw_error will be set to -1.
+
+The firmware checks that the message sequence counter is one greater than
+the guests message sequence counter. If guest driver fails to increment message
+counter (e.g. counter overflow), then -EIO will be returned.
+
+::
+
+ struct snp_guest_request_ioctl {
+ /* Message version number */
+ __u32 msg_version;
+
+ /* Request and response structure address */
+ __u64 req_data;
+ __u64 resp_data;
+
+ /* bits[63:32]: VMM error code, bits[31:0] firmware error code (see psp-sev.h) */
+ union {
+ __u64 exitinfo2;
+ struct {
+ __u32 fw_error;
+ __u32 vmm_error;
+ };
+ };
+ };
+
+The host ioctls are issued to a file descriptor of the /dev/sev device.
+The ioctl accepts the command ID/input structure documented below.
+
+::
+
+ struct sev_issue_cmd {
+ /* Command ID */
+ __u32 cmd;
+
+ /* Command request structure */
+ __u64 data;
+
+ /* Firmware error code on failure (see psp-sev.h) */
+ __u32 error;
+ };
+
+
+2.1 SNP_GET_REPORT
+------------------
+
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: guest ioctl
+:Parameters (in): struct snp_report_req
+:Returns (out): struct snp_report_resp on success, -negative on error
+
+The SNP_GET_REPORT ioctl can be used to query the attestation report from the
+SEV-SNP firmware. The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_REPORT_REQ) command
+provided by the SEV-SNP firmware to query the attestation report.
+
+On success, the snp_report_resp.data will contains the report. The report
+contain the format described in the SEV-SNP specification. See the SEV-SNP
+specification for further details.
+
+2.2 SNP_GET_DERIVED_KEY
+-----------------------
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: guest ioctl
+:Parameters (in): struct snp_derived_key_req
+:Returns (out): struct snp_derived_key_resp on success, -negative on error
+
+The SNP_GET_DERIVED_KEY ioctl can be used to get a key derive from a root key.
+The derived key can be used by the guest for any purpose, such as sealing keys
+or communicating with external entities.
+
+The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_KEY_REQ) command provided by the
+SEV-SNP firmware to derive the key. See SEV-SNP specification for further details
+on the various fields passed in the key derivation request.
+
+On success, the snp_derived_key_resp.data contains the derived key value. See
+the SEV-SNP specification for further details.
+
+
+2.3 SNP_GET_EXT_REPORT
+----------------------
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: guest ioctl
+:Parameters (in/out): struct snp_ext_report_req
+:Returns (out): struct snp_report_resp on success, -negative on error
+
+The SNP_GET_EXT_REPORT ioctl is similar to the SNP_GET_REPORT. The difference is
+related to the additional certificate data that is returned with the report.
+The certificate data returned is being provided by the hypervisor through the
+SNP_SET_EXT_CONFIG.
+
+The ioctl uses the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST (MSG_REPORT_REQ) command provided by the SEV-SNP
+firmware to get the attestation report.
+
+On success, the snp_ext_report_resp.data will contain the attestation report
+and snp_ext_report_req.certs_address will contain the certificate blob. If the
+length of the blob is smaller than expected then snp_ext_report_req.certs_len will
+be updated with the expected value.
+
+See GHCB specification for further detail on how to parse the certificate blob.
+
+2.4 SNP_PLATFORM_STATUS
+-----------------------
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: hypervisor ioctl cmd
+:Parameters (out): struct sev_user_data_snp_status
+:Returns (out): 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+The SNP_PLATFORM_STATUS command is used to query the SNP platform status. The
+status includes API major, minor version and more. See the SEV-SNP
+specification for further details.
+
+2.5 SNP_COMMIT
+--------------
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: hypervisor ioctl cmd
+:Returns (out): 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+SNP_COMMIT is used to commit the currently installed firmware using the
+SEV-SNP firmware SNP_COMMIT command. This prevents roll-back to a previously
+committed firmware version. This will also update the reported TCB to match
+that of the currently installed firmware.
+
+2.6 SNP_SET_CONFIG
+------------------
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: hypervisor ioctl cmd
+:Parameters (in): struct sev_user_data_snp_config
+:Returns (out): 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+SNP_SET_CONFIG is used to set the system-wide configuration such as
+reported TCB version in the attestation report. The command is similar
+to SNP_CONFIG command defined in the SEV-SNP spec. The current values of
+the firmware parameters affected by this command can be queried via
+SNP_PLATFORM_STATUS.
+
+2.7 SNP_VLEK_LOAD
+-----------------
+:Technology: sev-snp
+:Type: hypervisor ioctl cmd
+:Parameters (in): struct sev_user_data_snp_vlek_load
+:Returns (out): 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+When requesting an attestation report a guest is able to specify whether
+it wants SNP firmware to sign the report using either a Versioned Chip
+Endorsement Key (VCEK), which is derived from chip-unique secrets, or a
+Versioned Loaded Endorsement Key (VLEK) which is obtained from an AMD
+Key Derivation Service (KDS) and derived from seeds allocated to
+enrolled cloud service providers.
+
+In the case of VLEK keys, the SNP_VLEK_LOAD SNP command is used to load
+them into the system after obtaining them from the KDS, and corresponds
+closely to the SNP_VLEK_LOAD firmware command specified in the SEV-SNP
+spec.
+
+3. SEV-SNP CPUID Enforcement
+============================
+
+SEV-SNP guests can access a special page that contains a table of CPUID values
+that have been validated by the PSP as part of the SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE firmware
+command. It provides the following assurances regarding the validity of CPUID
+values:
+
+ - Its address is obtained via bootloader/firmware (via CC blob), and those
+ binaries will be measured as part of the SEV-SNP attestation report.
+ - Its initial state will be encrypted/pvalidated, so attempts to modify
+ it during run-time will result in garbage being written, or #VC exceptions
+ being generated due to changes in validation state if the hypervisor tries
+ to swap the backing page.
+ - Attempts to bypass PSP checks by the hypervisor by using a normal page, or
+ a non-CPUID encrypted page will change the measurement provided by the
+ SEV-SNP attestation report.
+ - The CPUID page contents are *not* measured, but attempts to modify the
+ expected contents of a CPUID page as part of guest initialization will be
+ gated by the PSP CPUID enforcement policy checks performed on the page
+ during SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE, and noticeable later if the guest owner
+ implements their own checks of the CPUID values.
+
+It is important to note that this last assurance is only useful if the kernel
+has taken care to make use of the SEV-SNP CPUID throughout all stages of boot.
+Otherwise, guest owner attestation provides no assurance that the kernel wasn't
+fed incorrect values at some point during boot.
+
+4. SEV Guest Driver Communication Key
+=====================================
+
+Communication between an SEV guest and the SEV firmware in the AMD Secure
+Processor (ASP, aka PSP) is protected by a VM Platform Communication Key
+(VMPCK). By default, the sev-guest driver uses the VMPCK associated with the
+VM Privilege Level (VMPL) at which the guest is running. Should this key be
+wiped by the sev-guest driver (see the driver for reasons why a VMPCK can be
+wiped), a different key can be used by reloading the sev-guest driver and
+specifying the desired key using the vmpck_id module parameter.
+

+TDX Guest API Documentation
+===================================================================
+
+1. General description
+======================
+
+The TDX guest driver exposes IOCTL interfaces via the /dev/tdx-guest misc
+device to allow userspace to get certain TDX guest-specific details.
+
+2. API description
+==================
+
+In this section, for each supported IOCTL, the following information is
+provided along with a generic description.
+
+:Input parameters: Parameters passed to the IOCTL and related details.
+:Output: Details about output data and return value (with details about
+ the non common error values).
+
+2.1 TDX_CMD_GET_REPORT0
+-----------------------
+
+:Input parameters: struct tdx_report_req
+:Output: Upon successful execution, TDREPORT data is copied to
+ tdx_report_req.tdreport and return 0. Return -EINVAL for invalid
+ operands, -EIO on TDCALL failure or standard error number on other
+ common failures.
+
+The TDX_CMD_GET_REPORT0 IOCTL can be used by the attestation software to get
+the TDREPORT0 (a.k.a. TDREPORT subtype 0) from the TDX module using
+TDCALL[TDG.MR.REPORT].
+
+A subtype index is added at the end of this IOCTL CMD to uniquely identify the
+subtype-specific TDREPORT request. Although the subtype option is mentioned in
+the TDX Module v1.0 specification, section titled "TDG.MR.REPORT", it is not
+currently used, and it expects this value to be 0. So to keep the IOCTL
+implementation simple, the subtype option was not included as part of the input
+ABI. However, in the future, if the TDX Module supports more than one subtype,
+a new IOCTL CMD will be created to handle it. To keep the IOCTL naming
+consistent, a subtype index is added as part of the IOCTL CMD.
