kprobes: Cure hotplug lock ordering issues
Converting the cpu hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem unearthed hidden lock ordering problems. There is a wide range of locks involved in this: kprobe_mutex, jump_label_mutex, ftrace_lock, text_mutex, event_mutex, module_mutex, func_hash->regex_lock and a gazillion of lock order permutations with nested get_online_cpus() calls. Some of those permutations are potential deadlocks even with the current nesting hotplug locking scheme, but they can't be discovered by lockdep. The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem requires to prevent nested locking, so it's required to take the hotplug rwsem early in the call chain and establish a proper lock order. After quite some analysis and going down the wrong road severa times the following lock order has been chosen: kprobe_mutex -> cpus_rwsem -> jump_label_mutex -> text_mutex For kprobes which hook on an ftrace function trace point, it's required to drop cpus_rwsem before calling into the ftrace code to avoid a deadlock on the func_hash->regex_lock.
