uprobes: Fix prepare_uprobe() race with itself
install_breakpoint() is called under mm->mmap_sem, this protects set_swbp() but not prepare_uprobe(). Two or more different tasks can call install_breakpoint()->prepare_uprobe() at the same time, this leads to numerous problems if UPROBE_COPY_INSN is not set. Just for example, the second copy_insn() can corrupt the already analyzed/fixuped uprobe->arch.insn and race with handle_swbp(). This patch simply adds uprobe->copy_mutex to serialize this code. We could probably reuse ->consumer_rwsem, but this would mean that consumer->handler() can not use mm->mmap_sem, not good. Note: this is another temporary ugly hack until we move this logic into uprobe_register(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
