From e70f5ee4c8824736332351b703c46f9469ed7f6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2025 10:13:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Add down_write(trace_event_sem) when adding trace event MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit [ Upstream commit b5e8acc14dcb314a9b61ff19dcd9fdd0d88f70df ] When a module is loaded, it adds trace events defined by the module. It may also need to modify the modules trace printk formats to replace enum names with their values. If two modules are loaded at the same time, the adding of the event to the ftrace_events list can corrupt the walking of the list in the code that is modifying the printk format strings and crash the kernel. The addition of the event should take the trace_event_sem for write while it adds the new event. Also add a lockdep_assert_held() on that semaphore in __trace_add_event_dirs() as it iterates the list.
