- Fix RCU callback of freeing an eventfs_inode. The freeing of the eventfs_inode from the kref going to zero freed the contents of the eventfs_inode and then used kfree_rcu() to free the inode itself. But the contents should also be protected by RCU. Switch to a call_rcu() that calls a function to free all of the eventfs_inode after the RCU synchronization. - The tracing subsystem maps its own descriptor to a file represented by eventfs. The freeing of this descriptor needs to know when the last reference of an eventfs_inode is released, but currently there is no interface for that. Add a "release" callback to the eventfs_inode entry array that allows for freeing of data that can be referenced by the eventfs_inode being opened. Then increment the ref counter for this descriptor when the eventfs_inode file is created, and decrement/free it when the last reference to the eventfs_inode is released and the file is removed. This prevents races between freeing the descriptor and the opening of the eventfs file. - Fix the permission processing of eventfs. The change to make the permissions of eventfs default to the mount point but keep track of when changes were made had a side effect that could cause security concerns. When the tracefs is remounted with a given gid or uid, all the files within it should inherit that gid or uid. But if the admin had changed the permission of some file within the tracefs file system, it would not get updated by the remount. This caused the kselftest of file permissions to fail the second time it is run. The first time, all changes would look fine, but the second time, because the changes were "saved", the remount did not reset them. Create a link list of all existing tracefs inodes, and clear the saved flags on them on a remount if the remount changes the corresponding gid or uid fields. This also simplifies the code by removing the distinction between the toplevel eventfs and an instance eventfs. They should both act the same. They were different because of a misconception due to the remount not resetting the flags. Now that remount resets all the files and directories to default to the root node if a uid/gid is specified, it makes the logic simpler to implement. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZjXxzxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qqzGAQCX8g7gtngGgwSsWqPW5GmecCifwFja k7cVEDhMYPnDeAEAkYi2ZBgJRkPsWPfMRClDK/DXP4woOo58asxtIxfTMgg= =mCkt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.9-rc6-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing and tracefs fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix RCU callback of freeing an eventfs_inode.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
