tracing: Fix reading strings from synthetic events
The follow commands caused a crash: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo 's:open char file[]' > dynamic_events # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:file=filename:onchange($file).trace(open,$file)' > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/trigger' # echo 1 > events/synthetic/open/enable BOOM! The problem is that the synthetic event field "char file[]" will read the value given to it as a string without any memory checks to make sure the address is valid. The above example will pass in the user space address and the sythetic event code will happily call strlen() on it and then strscpy() where either one will cause an oops when accessing user space addresses. Use the helper functions from trace_kprobe and trace_eprobe that can read strings safely (and actually succeed when the address is from user space and the memory is mapped in). Now the above can show: packagekitd-1721 [000] ...2. 104.597170: open: file=/usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/cmake.attr in:imjournal-978 [006] ...2. 104.599642: open: file=/var/lib/rsyslog/imjournal.state.tmp packagekitd-1721 [000] ...2. 104.626308: open: file=/usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/debuginfo.attr Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221012104534.826549315@goodmis.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@kernel.org> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@kernel.org> Fixes: bd82631d ("tracing: Add support for dynamic strings to synthetic events") Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
