commit c0591b1cccf708a47bc465c62436d669a4213323 upstream. 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.

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.
