From: Masami Hiramatsu mhiramat@kernel.org Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 17:02:56 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: Fix to protect kick_kprobe_optimizer() by kprobe_mutex
In kprobe_optimizer() kick_kprobe_optimizer() is called without kprobe_mutex, but this can race with other caller which is protected by kprobe_mutex.
To fix that, expand kprobe_mutex protected area to protect kick_kprobe_optimizer() call.
