Subject: [PATCH v2 02/12] tracing: Lock event_mutex before synth_event_mutex
synthetic event is using synth_event_mutex for protecting
synth_event_list, and event_trigger_write() path acquires
locks as below order.
event_trigger_write(event_mutex)
->trigger_process_regex(trigger_cmd_mutex)
->event_hist_trigger_func(synth_event_mutex)
On the other hand, synthetic event creation and deletion paths
finally calls trace_add_event_call() and trace_remove_event_call()
which acquires event_mutex. In that case, if we keep the
synth_event_mutex locked while registering/unregistering synthetic
events, its dependency will be inversed.
To avoid this issue, current synthetic event is using 2 phases
process to create/delete events. For example, it searches existing
event under synth_event_mutex to checking event-name conflict, and
unlock synth_event_mutex, then register new event under event_mutex
locked. Finally, it locks synth_event_mutex and tries to add the
new event to the list. But it can introduce complexity and a chance
of name conflict.
To solve this simpler, this introduces trace_add_event_call_nolock()
and trace_remove_event_call_nolock() which don't acquires
event_mutex inside. synthetic event can lock event_mutex before
synth_event_mutex for solving lock dependency issue simpler.
