3.16.63-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andrea Parri <andrea.parri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 09d3f015d1e1b4fee7e9bbdcf54201d239393391 upstream.
Commit:
142b18ddc8143 ("uprobes: Fix handle_swbp() vs unregister() + register() race")
added the UPROBE_COPY_INSN flag, and corresponding smp_wmb() and smp_rmb()
memory barriers, to ensure that handle_swbp() uses fully-initialized
uprobes only.
However, the smp_rmb() is mis-placed: this barrier should be placed
after handle_swbp() has tested for the flag, thus guaranteeing that
(program-order) subsequent loads from the uprobe can see the initial
stores performed by prepare_uprobe().
Move the smp_rmb() accordingly. Also amend the comments associated
to the two memory barriers to indicate their actual locations.
