* tracefs: Set all files to the same group ownership as the mount optionSteven Rostedt (VMware)2021-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 48b27b6b5191e2e1f2798cd80877b6e4ef47c351 upstream. As people have been asking to allow non-root processes to have access to the tracefs directory, it was considered best to only allow groups to have access to the directory, where it is easier to just set the tracefs file system to a specific group (as other would be too dangerous), and that way the admins could pick which processes would have access to tracefs. Unfortunately, this broke tooling on Android that expected the other bit to be set. For some special cases, for non-root tools to trace the system, tracefs would be mounted and change the permissions of the top level directory which gave access to all running tasks permission to the tracing directory. Even though this would be dangerous to do in a production environment, for testing environments this can be useful. Now with the new changes to not allow other (which is still the proper thing to do), it breaks the testing tooling. Now more code needs to be loaded on the system to change ownership of the tracing directory. The real solution is to have tracefs honor the gid=xxx option when mounting. That is, (tracing group tracing has value 1003) mount -t tracefs -o gid=1003 tracefs /sys/kernel/tracing should have it that all files in the tracing directory should be of the given group. Copy the logic from d_walk() from dcache.c and simplify it for the mount case of tracefs if gid is set. All the files in tracefs will be walked and their group will be set to the value passed in.

* tracefs: Have new files inherit the ownership of their parentSteven Rostedt (VMware)2021-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit ee7f3666995d8537dec17b1d35425f28877671a9 upstream. If directories in tracefs have their ownership changed, then any new files and directories that are created under those directories should inherit the ownership of the director they are created in.

* tracefs: Have tracefs directories not set OTH permission bits by defaultSteven Rostedt (VMware)2021-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Upstream commit 49d67e445742bbcb03106b735b2ab39f6e5c56bc ] The tracefs file system is by default mounted such that only root user can access it. But there are legitimate reasons to create a group and allow those added to the group to have access to tracing. By changing the permissions of the tracefs mount point to allow access, it will allow group access to the tracefs directory. There should not be any real reason to allow all access to the tracefs directory as it contains sensitive information. Have the default permission of directories being created not have any OTH (other) bits set, such that an admin that wants to give permission to a group has to first disable all OTH bits in the file system.

* tracefs: Fix refcount imbalance in start_creating()Daniel Borkmann2015-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In tracefs' start_creating(), we pin the file system to safely access its root. When we failed to create a file, we unpin the file system via failed_creating() to release the mount count and eventually the reference of the singleton vfsmount. However, when we run into an error during lookup_one_len() when still in start_creating(), we only release the parent's mutex but not so the reference on the mount. F.e., in securityfs_create_file(), after doing simple_pin_fs() when lookup_one_len() fails there, we infact do simple_release_fs(). This seems necessary here as well. Same issue seen in debugfs due to 190afd81e4a5 ("debugfs: split the beginning and the end of __create_file() off"), which seemed to got carried over into tracefs, too. Noticed during code review.

* tracing: Have mkdir and rmdir be part of tracefsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tracing "instances" directory can create sub tracing buffers with mkdir, and remove them with rmdir. As a mkdir will also create all the files and directories that control the sub buffer the inode mutexes need to be released before this is done, to avoid deadlocks. It is better to let the tracing system unlock the inode mutexes before calling the functions that create the files within the new directory (or deletes the files from the one being destroyed). Now that tracing has been converted over to tracefs, the tracefs file system can be modified to accommodate this feature. It still releases the locks, but the filesystem itself can take care of the ugly business and let the user just do what it needs. The tracing system now attaches a descriptor to the directory dentry that can have userspace create or remove sub directories. If this descriptor does not exist for a dentry, then that dentry can not be used to create other directories. This descriptor holds a mkdir and rmdir method that only takes a character string as an argument. The tracefs file system will first make a copy of the dentry name before releasing the locks. Then it will pass the copied name to the methods. It is up to the tracing system that supplied the methods to handle races with duplicate names and such as all the inode mutexes would be released when the functions are called.

* tracefs: Add new tracefs file systemSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-02-03
Add a separate file system to handle the tracing directory. Currently it is part of debugfs, but that is starting to show its limits. One thing is that in order to access the tracing infrastructure, you need to mount debugfs. As that includes debugging from all sorts of sub systems in the kernel, it is not considered advisable to mount such an all encompassing debugging system. Having the tracing system in its own file systems gives access to the tracing sub system without needing to include all other systems. Another problem with tracing using the debugfs system is that the instances use mkdir to create sub buffers. debugfs does not support mkdir from userspace so to implement it, special hacks were used. By controlling the file system that the tracing infrastructure uses, this can be properly done without hacks. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
