kprobes: Cure hotplug lock ordering issues
Converting the cpu hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem unearthed hidden lock
ordering problems.
There is a wide range of locks involved in this: kprobe_mutex,
jump_label_mutex, ftrace_lock, text_mutex, event_mutex, module_mutex,
func_hash->regex_lock and a gazillion of lock order permutations with
nested get_online_cpus() calls.
Some of those permutations are potential deadlocks even with the current
nesting hotplug locking scheme, but they can't be discovered by lockdep.
The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem requires to prevent
nested locking, so it's required to take the hotplug rwsem early in the
call chain and establish a proper lock order.
After quite some analysis and going down the wrong road severa times the
following lock order has been chosen:
kprobe_mutex -> cpus_rwsem -> jump_label_mutex -> text_mutex
For kprobes which hook on an ftrace function trace point, it's required to
drop cpus_rwsem before calling into the ftrace code to avoid a deadlock on
the func_hash->regex_lock.
