Andrii Nakryiko 699646734a uprobes: prevent mutex_lock() under rcu_read_lock()
Recent changes made uprobe_cpu_buffer preparation lazy, and moved it
deeper into __uprobe_trace_func(). This is problematic because
__uprobe_trace_func() is called inside rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()
block, which then calls prepare_uprobe_buffer() -> uprobe_buffer_get() ->
mutex_lock(&ucb->mutex), leading to a splat about using mutex under
non-sleepable RCU:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:585

Luckily, it's easy to fix by moving prepare_uprobe_buffer() to be called
slightly earlier: into uprobe_trace_func() and uretprobe_trace_func(), outside
of RCU locked section. This still keeps this buffer preparation lazy and helps
avoid the overhead when it's not needed. E.g., if there is only BPF uprobe
handler installed on a given uprobe, buffer won't be initialized.

Note, the other user of prepare_uprobe_buffer(), __uprobe_perf_func(), is not
affected, as it doesn't prepare buffer under RCU read lock.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
