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)
================================================================

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
