      Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
      
       - Fix eventfs to check creating new files for events with names greater
         than NAME_MAX. The eventfs lookup needs to check the return result of
         simple_lookup().
      
       - Fix the ring buffer to check the proper max data size. Events must be
         able to fit on the ring buffer sub-buffer, if it cannot, then it
         fails to be written and the logic to add the event is avoided. The
         code to check if an event can fit failed to add the possible absolute
         timestamp which may make the event not be able to fit. This causes
         the ring buffer to go into an infinite loop trying to find a
         sub-buffer that would fit the event. Luckily, there's a check that
         will bail out if it looped over a 1000 times and it also warns.
      
         The real fix is not to add the absolute timestamp to an event that is
         starting at the beginning of a sub-buffer because it uses the
         sub-buffer timestamp.
      
         By avoiding the timestamp at the start of the sub-buffer allows
         events that pass the first check to always find a sub-buffer that it
         can fit on.
      
       - Have large events that do not fit on a trace_seq to print "LINE TOO
         BIG" like it does for the trace_pipe instead of what it does now
         which is to silently drop the output.
      
       - Fix a memory leak of forgetting to free the spare page that is saved
         by a trace instance.
      
       - Update the size of the snapshot buffer when the main buffer is
         updated if the snapshot buffer is allocated.
      
       - Fix ring buffer timestamp logic by removing all the places that tried
         to put the before_stamp back to the write stamp so that the next
         event doesn't add an absolute timestamp. But each of these updates
         added a race where by making the two timestamp equal, it was
         validating the write_stamp so that it can be incorrectly used for
         calculating the delta of an event.
      
       - There's a temp buffer used for printing the event that was using the
         event data size for allocation when it needed to use the size of the
         entire event (meta-data and payload data)
      
       - For hardening, use "%.*s" for printing the trace_marker output, to
         limit the amount that is printed by the size of the event. This was
         discovered by development that added a bug that truncated the '\0'
         and caused a crash.
      
       - Fix a use-after-free bug in the use of the histogram files when an
         instance is being removed.
      
       - Remove a useless update in the rb_try_to_discard of the write_stamp.
         The before_stamp was already changed to force the next event to add
         an absolute timestamp that the write_stamp is not used. But the
         write_stamp is modified again using an unneeded 64-bit cmpxchg.
      
       - Fix several races in the 32-bit implementation of the
         rb_time_cmpxchg() that does a 64-bit cmpxchg.
      
       - While looking at fixing the 64-bit cmpxchg, I noticed that because
         the ring buffer uses normal cmpxchg, and this can be done in NMI
         context, there's some architectures that do not have a working
         cmpxchg in NMI context. For these architectures, fail recording
         events that happen in NMI context.

      There are multiple ways to grab references to credentials, and the only
      protection we have against overflowing it is the memory required to do

      With memory sizes only moving in one direction, let's bump the reference
      count to 64-bit and move it outside the realm of feasibly overflowing.

      Revert "PCI: acpiphp: Reassign resources on bridge if necessary" · 5df12742
      Bjorn Helgaas authored
      This reverts commit 40613da5 and the
      subsequent fix to it:
      
        cc22522f ("PCI: acpiphp: Use pci_assign_unassigned_bridge_resources() only for non-root bus")
      
      40613da5 fixed a problem where hot-adding a device with large BARs
      failed if the bridge windows programmed by firmware were not large enough.
      
      cc22522f ("PCI: acpiphp: Use pci_assign_unassigned_bridge_resources()
      only for non-root bus") fixed a problem with 40613da5: an ACPI hot-add
      of a device on a PCI root bus (common in the virt world) or firmware
      sending ACPI Bus Check to non-existent Root Ports (e.g., on Dell Inspiron
      7352/0W6WV0) caused a NULL pointer dereference and suspend/resume hangs.
      
      Unfortunately the combination of 40613da5 and cc22522f caused other
      problems:
      
        - Fiona reported that hot-add of SCSI disks in QEMU virtual machine fails
          sometimes.
      
        - Dongli reported a similar problem with hot-add of SCSI disks.
      
        - Jonathan reported a console freeze during boot on bare metal due to an
          error in radeon GPU initialization.
      
      Revert both patches to avoid adding these problems.  This means we will
      again see the problems with hot-adding devices with large BARs and the NULL
      pointer dereferences and suspend/resume issues that 40613da5 and
      cc22522f were intended to fix.

      ring-buffer: Have rb_time_cmpxchg() set the msb counter too · 0aa0e528
      Steven Rostedt (Google) authored
      The rb_time_cmpxchg() on 32-bit architectures requires setting three
      32-bit words to represent the 64-bit timestamp, with some salt for
      synchronization. Those are: msb, top, and bottom
      
      The issue is, the rb_time_cmpxchg() did not properly salt the msb portion,
      and the msb that was written was stale.

      ring-buffer: Fix 32-bit rb_time_read() race with rb_time_cmpxchg() · dec89008
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored
      The following race can cause rb_time_read() to observe a corrupted time
      stamp:
      
      rb_time_cmpxchg()
      [...]
              if (!rb_time_read_cmpxchg(&t->msb, msb, msb2))
                      return false;
              if (!rb_time_read_cmpxchg(&t->top, top, top2))
                      return false;
      <interrupted before updating bottom>
      __rb_time_read()
      [...]
              do {
                      c = local_read(&t->cnt);
                      top = local_read(&t->top);
                      bottom = local_read(&t->bottom);
                      msb = local_read(&t->msb);
              } while (c != local_read(&t->cnt));
      
              *cnt = rb_time_cnt(top);
      
              /* If top and msb counts don't match, this interrupted a write */
              if (*cnt != rb_time_cnt(msb))
                      return false;
                ^ this check fails to catch that "bottom" is still not updated.
      
      So the old "bottom" value is returned, which is wrong.
      
      Fix this by checking that all three of msb, top, and bottom 2-bit cnt
      values match.
      
      The reason to favor checking all three fields over requiring a specific
      update order for both rb_time_set() and rb_time_cmpxchg() is because
      checking all three fields is more robust to handle partial failures of
      rb_time_cmpxchg() when interrupted by nested rb_time_set().

      ring-buffer: Fix a race in rb_time_cmpxchg() for 32 bit archs · fff88fa0
      Steven Rostedt (Google) authored
      Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out an issue in the rb_time_cmpxchg() for 32 bit
      architectures. That is:
      
       static bool rb_time_cmpxchg(rb_time_t *t, u64 expect, u64 set)
       {
      	unsigned long cnt, top, bottom, msb;
      	unsigned long cnt2, top2, bottom2, msb2;
      	u64 val;
      
      	/* The cmpxchg always fails if it interrupted an update */
      	 if (!__rb_time_read(t, &val, &cnt2))
      		 return false;
      
      	 if (val != expect)
      		 return false;
      
      <<<< interrupted here!
      
      	 cnt = local_read(&t->cnt);
      
      The problem is that the synchronization counter in the rb_time_t is read
      *after* the value of the timestamp is read. That means if an interrupt
      were to come in between the value being read and the counter being read,
      it can change the value and the counter and the interrupted process would
      be clueless about it!
      
      The counter needs to be read first and then the value. That way it is easy
      to tell if the value is stale or not. If the counter hasn't been updated,
      then the value is still good.

      ring-buffer: Remove useless update to write_stamp in rb_try_to_discard() · 083e9f65
      Steven Rostedt (Google) authored
      When filtering is enabled, a temporary buffer is created to place the
      content of the trace event output so that the filter logic can decide
      from the trace event output if the trace event should be filtered out or
      not. If it is to be filtered out, the content in the temporary buffer is
      simply discarded, otherwise it is written into the trace buffer.
      
      But if an interrupt were to come in while a previous event was using that
      temporary buffer, the event written by the interrupt would actually go
      into the ring buffer itself to prevent corrupting the data on the
      temporary buffer. If the event is to be filtered out, the event in the
      ring buffer is discarded, or if it fails to discard because another event
      were to have already come in, it is turned into padding.
      
      The update to the write_stamp in the rb_try_to_discard() happens after a
      fix was made to force the next event after the discard to use an absolute
      timestamp by setting the before_stamp to zero so it does not match the
      write_stamp (which causes an event to use the absolute timestamp).
      
      But there's an effort in rb_try_to_discard() to put back the write_stamp
      to what it was before the event was added. But this is useless and
      wasteful because nothing is going to be using that write_stamp for
      calculations as it still will not match the before_stamp.
      
      Remove this useless update, and in doing so, we remove another
      cmpxchg64()!
      
      Also update the comments to reflect this change as well as remove some
      extra white space in another comment.
