tracing: add trace_event_read_lock()
I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in
ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist
but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction
through ftrace_find_event().
This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race
window between any event dereferencing and module removal.
Eg:
--Task A--
print_trace_line(trace) {
event = find_ftrace_event(trace)
--Task B--
trace_module_remove_events(mod) {
list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) {
unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) {
hlist_del(ev->event->node)
list_del(....)
}
}
}
|--> module removed, the event has been dropped
--Task A--
event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory
If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module
is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data
from a freed module.
RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and
forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code.
So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore,
and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().
[ Impact: fix possible freed memory dereference in ftrace ]
