tracing/events: fix concurrent access to ftrace_events list
A module will add/remove its trace events when it gets loaded/unloaded, so the ftrace_events list is not "const", and concurrent access needs to be protected. This patch thus fixes races between loading/unloding modules and read 'available_events' or read/write 'set_event', etc. Below shows how to reproduce the race: # for ((; ;)) { cat /mnt/tracing/available_events; } > /dev/null & # for ((; ;)) { insmod trace-events-sample.ko; rmmod sample; } & After a while: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0010011c IP: [<c1080f27>] t_next+0x1b/0x2d ...
