I think the patch does not apply cleanly because of 7d18a10c3167 ("tracing: Refactor hist trigger action code"). Will post backport shortly.

To reproduce the conflict and resubmit, you may use the following commands:

git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/ linux-4.19.y git checkout FETCH_HEAD git cherry-pick -x 6018b585e8c6fa7d85d4b38d9ce49a5b67be7078 # <resolve conflicts, build, test, etc.> git commit -s git send-email --to 'stable@vger.kernel.org' --in-reply-to '2023072114-radiantly-gilled-72c0@gregkh' --subject-prefix 'PATCH 4.19.y' HEAD^..

From 6018b585e8c6fa7d85d4b38d9ce49a5b67be7078 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohamed Khalfella mkhalfella@purestorage.com Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2023 22:30:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tracing/histograms: Add histograms to hist_vars if they have referenced variables

Hist triggers can have referenced variables without having direct variables fields. This can be the case if referenced variables are added for trigger actions. In this case the newly added references will not have field variables. Not taking such referenced variables into consideration can result in a bug where it would be possible to remove hist trigger with variables being refenced. This will result in a bug that is easily reproducable like so

$ cd /sys/kernel/tracing $ echo 'synthetic_sys_enter char[] comm; long id' >> synthetic_events $ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger $ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:onmatch(raw_syscalls.sys_enter).synthetic_sys_enter($comm, id)' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger $ echo '!hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger

We hit the bug because when second hist trigger has was created has_hist_vars() returned false because hist trigger did not have variables. As a result of that save_hist_vars() was not called to add the trigger to trace_array->hist_vars. Later on when we attempted to remove the first histogram find_any_var_ref() failed to detect it is being used because it did not find the second trigger in hist_vars list.

With this change we wait until trigger actions are created so we can take into consideration if hist trigger has variable references. Also, now we check the return value of save_hist_vars() and fail trigger creation if save_hist_vars() fails.
