tracing: Fix a possible race when disabling buffered events
Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is responsible for freeing pages
backing buffered events and this process can run concurrently with
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve().
The following race is currently possible:
* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called on CPU 0. It
increments trace_buffered_event_cnt on each CPU and waits via
synchronize_rcu() for each user of trace_buffered_event to complete.
* After synchronize_rcu() is finished, function
trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to
trace_buffered_event. All counters trace_buffered_event_cnt are at 1
and all pointers trace_buffered_event are still valid.
* At this point, on a different CPU 1, the execution reaches
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve(). The function calls
preempt_disable_notrace() and only now enters an RCU read-side
critical section. The function proceeds and reads a still valid
pointer from trace_buffered_event[CPU1] into the local variable
"entry". However, it doesn't yet read trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1]
which happens later.
* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() continues. It frees
trace_buffered_event[CPU1] and decrements
trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] back to 0.
* Function trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() continues. It reads and
increments trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] from 0 to 1. This makes it
believe that it can use the "entry" that it already obtained but the
pointer is now invalid and any access results in a use-after-free.
Fix the problem by making a second synchronize_rcu() call after all
trace_buffered_event values are set to NULL. This waits on all potential
users in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() that still read a previous
pointer from trace_buffered_event.
