    tracing/synthetic: Fix races on freeing last_cmd · 4ccf11c4
    Tze-nan Wu authored
    Currently, the "last_cmd" variable can be accessed by multiple processes
    asynchronously when multiple users manipulate synthetic_events node
    at the same time, it could lead to use-after-free or double-free.
    
    This patch add "lastcmd_mutex" to prevent "last_cmd" from being accessed
    asynchronously.
    
    ================================================================
    
    It's easy to reproduce in the KASAN environment by running the two
    scripts below in different shells.
    
    script 1:
            while :
            do
                    echo -n -e '\x88' > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
            done
    
    script 2:
            while :
            do
                    echo -n -e '\xb0' > /sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
            done
    
    ================================================================
    double-free scenario:
    
        process A                       process B
    -------------------               ---------------
    1.kstrdup last_cmd
                                      2.free last_cmd
    3.free last_cmd(double-free)
    
    ================================================================
    use-after-free scenario:
    
        process A                       process B
    -------------------               ---------------
    1.kstrdup last_cmd
                                      2.free last_cmd
    3.tracing_log_err(use-after-free)
