Users may have explicitly configured their tracefs permissions; we shouldn't overwrite those just because a second mount appeared. Only clobber if the options were provided at mount time. Note: the previous behavior was especially surprising in the presence of automounted /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/. Existing behavior: ## Pre-existing status: tracefs is 0755. # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/ drwxr-xr-x ## (Re)trigger the automount. # umount /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/. drwx------ ## Unexpected: the automount changed mode for other mount instances. # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/ drwx------ New behavior (after this change): ## Pre-existing status: tracefs is 0755. # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/ drwxr-xr-x ## (Re)trigger the automount. # umount /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/. drwxr-xr-x ## Expected: the automount does not change other mount instances. # stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/ drwxr-xr-x Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220826174353.2.Iab6e5ea57963d6deca5311b27fb7226790d44406@changeid Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 4282d60689d4f ("tracefs: Add new tracefs file system") Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <briannorris@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
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 Restructured Text 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.
