[for-linus][PATCH 5/5] tracepoint: Fix race between tracing and removing tracepoint

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Feb 02 2021 - 17:04:33 EST


From: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@xxxxxxxxx>

When executing a tracepoint, the tracepoint's func is dereferenced twice -
in __DO_TRACE() (where the returned pointer is checked) and later on in
__traceiter_##_name where the returned pointer is dereferenced without
checking which leads to races against tracepoint_removal_sync() and
crashes.

This adds a check before referencing the pointer in tracepoint_ptr_deref.
