tracing: Fix tracing_marker may trigger page fault during preempt_disable
Both tracing_mark_write and tracing_mark_raw_write call
__copy_from_user_inatomic during preempt_disable. But in some case,
__copy_from_user_inatomic may trigger page fault, and will call schedule()
subtly. And if a task is migrated to other cpu, the following warning will
be trigger:
if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer,
!local_read(&cpu_buffer->committing)))
An example can illustrate this issue:
process flow CPU
---------------------------------------------------------------------
tracing_mark_raw_write(): cpu:0
...
ring_buffer_lock_reserve(): cpu:0
...
cpu = raw_smp_processor_id() cpu:0
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] cpu:0
...
...
__copy_from_user_inatomic(): cpu:0
...
# page fault
do_mem_abort(): cpu:0
...
# Call schedule
schedule() cpu:0
...
# the task schedule to cpu1
__buffer_unlock_commit(): cpu:1
...
ring_buffer_unlock_commit(): cpu:1
...
cpu = raw_smp_processor_id() cpu:1
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu] cpu:1
As shown above, the process will acquire cpuid twice and the return values
are not the same.
To fix this problem using copy_from_user_nofault instead of
__copy_from_user_inatomic, as the former performs 'access_ok' before
copying.
