Linus Torvalds 77d6465695 There's been a few memory issues found with ftrace. ... One was simply a memory leak where not all was being freed that should have been in releasing a file pointer on set_graph_function. Then Thomas found that the ftrace trampolines were marked for read/write as well as execute. To shrink the possible attack surface, he added calls to set them to ro. Which also uncovered some other issues with freeing module allocated memory that had its permissions changed. Kprobes had a similar issue which is fixed and a selftest was added to trigger that issue again. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQExBAABCAAbBQJZKOiVFBxyb3N0ZWR0QGdvb2RtaXMub3JnAAoJEMm5BfJq2Y3L vBoH/jxVozuAEVCv+Nbj6fhRxe4emjo0lZZb32EbEaSV/nUQGqHIZFdDQtbt+ld+ sn06/BSMBI+L4BqLj1BCAW0e/zIn/4birIg53SX5jQwc3AlhUG7HS2d+RJZZCrp9 Zofq9L6xZ4Hl2XjkPXqwEgtrwxQtkIPLlJqeYDJ6BVrlPfOPEwB7bfR7B684wiYT 6h2Qo7f/ZQzgJ1sK8N2IjHEnAgE08KCYcj4IB4WHJk6SqQz3bv1Y00WBg2UQihVT TPPSVhYLnrSw53fxyALqZbHo2DvnQf1TnNadWxvSIpbvgm/T5GG60FDtvHgNfbwz yKuKAog+P9xBLkoAcfvODLY9O5s= =75TZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v4.12-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt: "There's been a few memory issues found with ftrace.
