Masami Hiramatsu reported a memory leak in register_ftrace_direct() where
if the number of new entries are added is large enough to cause two
allocations in the loop:
for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
hlist_for_each_entry(entry, &hash->buckets[i], hlist) {
new = ftrace_add_rec_direct(entry->ip, addr, &free_hash);
if (!new)
goto out_remove;
entry->direct = addr;
}
}
Where ftrace_add_rec_direct() has:
if (ftrace_hash_empty(direct_functions) ||
direct_functions->count > 2 * (1 << direct_functions->size_bits)) {
struct ftrace_hash *new_hash;
int size = ftrace_hash_empty(direct_functions) ? 0 :
direct_functions->count + 1;
if (size < 32)
size = 32;
new_hash = dup_hash(direct_functions, size);
if (!new_hash)
return NULL;
*free_hash = direct_functions;
direct_functions = new_hash;
}
The "*free_hash = direct_functions;" can happen twice, losing the previous
allocation of direct_functions.
But this also exposed a more serious bug.
The modification of direct_functions above is not safe. As
direct_functions can be referenced at any time to find what direct caller
it should call, the time between:
new_hash = dup_hash(direct_functions, size);
and
direct_functions = new_hash;
can have a race with another CPU (or even this one if it gets interrupted),
and the entries being moved to the new hash are not referenced.
That's because the "dup_hash()" is really misnamed and is really a
"move_hash()". It moves the entries from the old hash to the new one.
Now even if that was changed, this code is not proper as direct_functions
should not be updated until the end. That is the best way to handle
function reference changes, and is the way other parts of ftrace handles
this.
The following is done:
1. Change add_hash_entry() to return the entry it created and inserted
into the hash, and not just return success or not.
2. Replace ftrace_add_rec_direct() with add_hash_entry(), and remove
the former.
3. Allocate a "new_hash" at the start that is made for holding both the
new hash entries as well as the existing entries in direct_functions.
4. Copy (not move) the direct_function entries over to the new_hash.
5. Copy the entries of the added hash to the new_hash.
6. If everything succeeds, then use rcu_pointer_assign() to update the
direct_functions with the new_hash.
This simplifies the code and fixes both the memory leak as well as the
race condition mentioned above.
