From 4f6789cad6472a09200a60928ef6c56ae457ed38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2018 15:37:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] uprobes: Use synchronize_rcu() not synchronize_sched() commit 016f8ffc48cb01d1e7701649c728c5d2e737d295 upstream. While debugging another bug, I was looking at all the synchronize*() functions being used in kernel/trace, and noticed that trace_uprobes was using synchronize_sched(), with a comment to synchronize with {u,ret}_probe_trace_func(). When looking at those functions, the data is protected with "rcu_read_lock()" and not with "rcu_read_lock_sched()". This is using the wrong synchronize_*() function.
