ftrace: protect running nmi (V3)
When I review the sensitive code ftrace_nmi_enter(), I found the atomic variable nmi_running does protect NMI VS do_ftrace_mod_code(), but it can not protects NMI(entered nmi) VS NMI(ftrace_nmi_enter()). cpu#1 | cpu#2 | cpu#3 ftrace_nmi_enter() | do_ftrace_mod_code() | not modify | | ------------------------|-----------------------|-- executing | set mod_code_write = 1| executing --|-----------------------|-------------------- executing | | ftrace_nmi_enter() executing | | do modify ------------------------|-----------------------|----------------- ftrace_nmi_exit() | | cpu#3 may be being modified the code which is still being executed on cpu#1, it will have undefined results and possibly take a GPF, this patch prevents it occurred.
