Steven Rostedt (VMware) 43e172e31b tracing: Move pipe reference to trace array instead of current_tracer
commit 7ef282e05132d56b6f6b71e3873f317664bea78b upstream.

If a process has the trace_pipe open on a trace_array, the current tracer
for that trace array should not be changed. This was original enforced by a
global lock, but when instances were introduced, it was moved to the
current_trace. But this structure is shared by all instances, and a
trace_pipe is for a single instance. There's no reason that a process that
has trace_pipe open on one instance should prevent another instance from
changing its current tracer. Move the reference counter to the trace_array
instead.

This is marked as "Fixes" but is more of a clean up than a true fix.
Backport if you want, but its not critical.

Fixes: cf6ab6d914 ("tracing: Add ref count to tracer for when they are being read by pipe")

README

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.
