[PATCH v2] ftrace: Fix use-after-free for dynamic ftrace_ops

From: Li Huafei
Date: Wed Nov 02 2022 - 23:13:59 EST


KASAN reported a use-after-free with ftrace ops [1]. It was found from
vmcore that perf had registered two ops with the same content
successively, both dynamic. After unregistering the second ops, a
use-after-free occurred.

In ftrace_shutdown(), when the second ops is unregistered, the
FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS command is not set because there is another enabled
ops with the same content. Also, both ops are dynamic and the ftrace
callback function is ftrace_ops_list_func, so the
FTRACE_UPDATE_TRACE_FUNC command will not be set. Eventually the value
of 'command' will be 0 and ftrace_shutdown() will skip the rcu
synchronization.

However, ftrace may be activated. When the ops is released, another CPU
may be accessing the ops. Add the missing synchronization to fix this
problem.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221101064146.69551-1-lihuafei1@xxxxxxxxxx/

Changlog in v1 -> v2:
- Cc the stable list as suggested by Masami. I did not add Masami's
Review-by due to some differences from v1. If the new changes are
still okay, please let me know. Thanks to Masami!
- Add Fixes tag as suggested by Steve.
- Remove the 'ftrace_enabled' check.
