tracing: fix deadlock when setting set_ftrace_pid
Impact: fix deadlock while using set_ftrace_pid
Reproducer:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo $$ > set_ftrace_pid
then, console becomes hung.
Details:
when writing set_ftracepid, kernel callstack is following
ftrace_pid_write()
mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
ftrace_update_pid_func()
mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock);
mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock);
then, system always deadlocks when ftrace_pid_write() is called.
In past days, ftrace_pid_write() used ftrace_start_lock, but
commit e6ea44e9b4c12325337cd1c06103cd515a1c02b2 consolidated
ftrace_start_lock to ftrace_lock.
