commit 7fed14f7ac9cf5e38c693836fe4a874720141845 upstream.

The following warning appears when using buffered events:

For instance, it can be triggered by running these two commands in
parallel:

 $ while true; do
    echo hist:key=id.syscall:val=hitcount > \
      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger;
  done
 $ stress-ng --sysinfo $(nproc)

The warning indicates that the current ring_buffer_per_cpu is not in the
committing state. It happens because the active ring_buffer_event
doesn't actually come from the ring_buffer_per_cpu but is allocated from
trace_buffered_event.

The bug is in function trace_buffered_event_disable() where the
following normally happens:

* The code invokes disable_trace_buffered_event() via
  smp_call_function_many() and follows it by synchronize_rcu(). This
  increments the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event_cnt on each
  target CPU and grants trace_buffered_event_disable() the exclusive
  access to the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event.

* Maintenance is performed on trace_buffered_event, all per-CPU event
  buffers get freed.

* The code invokes enable_trace_buffered_event() via
  smp_call_function_many(). This decrements trace_buffered_event_cnt and
  releases the access to trace_buffered_event.

A problem is that smp_call_function_many() runs a given function on all
target CPUs except on the current one. The following can then occur:

* Task X executing trace_buffered_event_disable() runs on CPU 0.

* The control reaches synchronize_rcu() and the task gets rescheduled on
  another CPU 1.

* The RCU synchronization finishes. At this point,
  trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to all
  trace_buffered_event variables except trace_buffered_event[CPU0]
  because trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is never incremented and if the
  buffer is currently unused, remains set to 0.

* A different task Y is scheduled on CPU 0 and hits a trace event. The
  code in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() sees that
  trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is set to 0 and decides the use the
  buffer provided by trace_buffered_event[CPU0].

* Task X continues its execution in trace_buffered_event_disable(). The
  code incorrectly frees the event buffer pointed by
  trace_buffered_event[CPU0] and resets the variable to NULL.

* Task Y writes event data to the now freed buffer and later detects the
  created inconsistency.

The issue is observable since commit dea499781a11 ("tracing: Fix warning
in trace_buffered_event_disable()") which moved the call of
trace_buffered_event_disable() in __ftrace_event_enable_disable()
earlier, prior to invoking call->class->reg(.. TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER ..).
The underlying problem in trace_buffered_event_disable() is however
present since the original implementation in commit 0fc1b09ff1ff
("tracing: Use temp buffer when filtering events").

Fix the problem by replacing the two smp_call_function_many() calls with
on_each_cpu_mask() which invokes a given callback on all CPUs.
