ftrace/x86: Run a sync after fixup on failure
If a failure occurs while enabling a trace, it bails out and will remove the tracepoints to be back to what the code originally was. But the fix up had some bugs in it. By injecting a failure in the code, the fix up ran to completion, but shortly afterward the system rebooted. There was two bugs here. The first was that there was no final sync run across the CPUs after the fix up was done, and before the ftrace int3 handler flag was reset. That means that other CPUs could still see the breakpoint and trigger on it long after the flag was cleared, and the int3 handler would think it was a spurious interrupt. Worse yet, the int3 handler could hit other breakpoints because the ftrace int3 handler flag would have prevented the int3 handler from going further. Here's a description of the issue: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- remove_breakpoint(); modifying_ftrace_code = 0; [still sees breakpoint] <takes trap> [sees modifying_ftrace_code as zero] [no breakpoint handler] [goto failed case] [trap exception - kernel breakpoint, no handler] BUG() The second bug was that the removal of the breakpoints required the "within()" logic updates instead of accessing the ip address directly. As the kernel text is mapped read-only when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, and the removal of the breakpoint is a modification of the kernel text. The ftrace_write() includes the "within()" logic, where as, the probe_kernel_write() does not. This prevented the breakpoint from being removed at all.
