tracing: Fix tracing_marker may trigger page fault during preempt_disable
[ Upstream commit 3d62ab32df065e4a7797204a918f6489ddb8a237 ] Both tracing_mark_write and tracing_mark_raw_write call __copy_from_user_inatomic during preempt_disable. But in some case, __copy_from_user_inatomic may trigger page fault, and will call schedule() subtly. And if a task is migrated to other cpu, the following warning will be trigger: if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, !local_read(&cpu_buffer->committing))) An example can illustrate this issue: process flow CPU --------------------------------------------------------------------- tracing_mark_raw_write(): cpu:0 ... ring_buffer_lock_reserve(): cpu:0 ... cpu = raw_smp_processor_id() cpu:0 cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] cpu:0 ... ... __copy_from_user_inatomic(): cpu:0 ... # page fault do_mem_abort(): cpu:0 ... # Call schedule schedule() cpu:0 ... # the task schedule to cpu1 __buffer_unlock_commit(): cpu:1 ... ring_buffer_unlock_commit(): cpu:1 ... cpu = raw_smp_processor_id() cpu:1 cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] cpu:1 As shown above, the process will acquire cpuid twice and the return values are not the same. To fix this problem using copy_from_user_nofault instead of __copy_from_user_inatomic, as the former performs 'access_ok' before copying.
