CVE-2022-49892

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ftrace: Fix use-after-free for dynamic ftrace_ops

KASAN reported a use-after-free with ftrace ops [1]. It was found from

vmcore that perf had registered two ops with the same content

successively, both dynamic. After unregistering the second ops, a

use-after-free occurred.

In ftrace_shutdown(), when the second ops is unregistered, the

FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS command is not set because there is another enabled

ops with the same content. Also, both ops are dynamic and the ftrace

callback function is ftrace_ops_list_func, so the

FTRACE_UPDATE_TRACE_FUNC command will not be set. Eventually the value

of 'command' will be 0 and ftrace_shutdown() will skip the rcu

synchronization.

However, ftrace may be activated. When the ops is released, another CPU

may be accessing the ops. Add the missing synchronization to fix this

problem.
