In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tracing: Ensure visibility when inserting an element into tracing_map

Running the following two commands in parallel on a multi-processor
AArch64 machine can sporadically produce an unexpected warning about
duplicate histogram entries:

$ while true; do
echo hist:key=id.syscall:val=hitcount >
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/hist
sleep 0.001
done
$ stress-ng --sysbadaddr $(nproc)

The warning looks as follows:

The problem appears to be caused by CPU reordering of writes issued from
__tracing_map_insert().

The check for the presence of an element with a given key in this
function is:

val = READ_ONCE(entry->val);
if (val && keys_match(key, val->key, map->key_size)) …

The write of a new entry is:

elt = get_free_elt(map);
memcpy(elt->key, key, map->key_size);
entry->val = elt;

The “memcpy(elt->key, key, map->key_size);” and “entry->val = elt;”
stores may become visible in the reversed order on another CPU. This
second CPU might then incorrectly determine that a new key doesn’t match
an already present val->key and subse
