This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing/osnoise: Properly unhook events if start_per_cpu_kthreads() fails to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tracing-osnoise-properly-unhook-events-if-start_per_cpu_kthreads-fails.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 0878355b51f5f26632e652c848a8e174bb02d22d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikita Yushchenko <nikita.yushchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 9 Jan 2022 18:34:59 +0300 Subject: tracing/osnoise: Properly unhook events if start_per_cpu_kthreads() fails From: Nikita Yushchenko <nikita.yushchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 0878355b51f5f26632e652c848a8e174bb02d22d upstream. If start_per_cpu_kthreads() called from osnoise_workload_start() returns error, event hooks are left in broken state: unhook_irq_events() called but unhook_thread_events() and unhook_softirq_events() not called, and trace_osnoise_callback_enabled flag not cleared. On the next tracer enable, hooks get not installed due to trace_osnoise_callback_enabled flag. And on the further tracer disable an attempt to remove non-installed hooks happened, hitting a WARN_ON_ONCE() in tracepoint_remove_func(). Fix the error path by adding the missing part of cleanup. While at this, introduce osnoise_unhook_events() to avoid code duplication between this error path and normal tracer disable.
