commit 24f2aaf952ee0b59f31c3a18b8b36c9e3d3c2cf5 upstream.

Double free of the ring buffer happens when it fails to alloc new
ring buffer instance for max_buffer if TRACER_MAX_TRACE is configured.
The root cause is that the pointer is not set to NULL after the buffer
is freed in allocate_trace_buffers(), and the freeing of the ring
buffer is invoked again later if the pointer is not equal to Null,
as:

instance_mkdir()
    |-allocate_trace_buffers()
        |-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->trace_buffer...)
	|-allocate_trace_buffer(tr, &tr->max_buffer...)

          // allocate fail(-ENOMEM),first free
          // and the buffer pointer is not set to null
        |-ring_buffer_free(tr->trace_buffer.buffer)

       // out_free_tr
    |-free_trace_buffers()
        |-free_trace_buffer(&tr->trace_buffer);

	      //if trace_buffer is not null, free again
	    |-ring_buffer_free(buf->buffer)
                |-rb_free_cpu_buffer(buffer->buffers[cpu])
                    // ring_buffer_per_cpu is null, and
                    // crash in ring_buffer_per_cpu->pages

There's a nesting counter that gets incremented to figure out which buffer to use. If the context gets preempted by another context which calls trace_printk() it will increment the counter and use the next buffer, and restore the counter when it is finished. The problem is that gcc may optimize the modification of the buffer nesting counter and it may not be incremented in memory before the buffer is used. If this happens, and the context gets interrupted by another context, it could pick the same buffer and corrupt the one that is being used. Compiler barriers need to be added after the nesting variable is incremented and before it is decremented to prevent usage of the context buffers by more than one context at the same time.
