    uprobes/tracing: Fully initialize uprobe_trace_consumer before uprobe_register() · 4161824f
    Oleg Nesterov authored
    probe_event_enable() does uprobe_register() and only after that sets
    utc->tu and tu->consumer/flags. This can race with uprobe_dispatcher()
    which can miss these assignments or see them out of order. Nothing
    really bad can happen, but this doesn't look clean/safe.
    
    And this does not allow to use uprobe_consumer->filter() we are going
    to add, it is called by uprobe_register() and it needs utc->tu.
    
    Change this code to initialize everything before uprobe_register(), and
    reset tu->consumer/flags if it fails. We can't race with event_disable(),
    the caller holds event_mutex, and if we could the code would be wrong
    anyway.
    
    In fact I think uprobe_trace_consumer should die, it buys nothing but
    complicates the code. We can simply add uprobe_consumer into trace_uprobe.
