[PATCH 1/4] ftrace: Fix function pid filter on instances

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Sun Apr 16 2017 - 22:45:06 EST


When function tracer has a pid filter, it adds a probe to sched_switch
to track if current task can be ignored. The probe checks the
ftrace_ignore_pid from current tr to filter tasks. But it misses to
delete the probe when removing an instance so that it can cause a crash
due to the invalid tr pointer (use-after-free).

This is easily reproducible with the following:

# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# mkdir instances/buggy
# echo $$ > instances/buggy/set_ftrace_pid
# rmdir instances/buggy

============================================================================
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90
Read of size 8 by task kworker/0:1/17
CPU: 0 PID: 17 Comm: kworker/0:1 Tainted: G B 4.11.0-rc3 #198
Call Trace:
dump_stack+0x68/0x9f
kasan_object_err+0x21/0x70

ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90
? fpid_start+0x130/0x130
__schedule+0x571/0xce0
...

To fix it, use ftrace_pid_reset() to unregister the probe. As
instance_rmdir() already updated ftrace codes, it can just free the
filter safely.
