CVE-2024-49976

Name	CVE-2024-49976
Description	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing/timerlat: Drop interface_lock in stop_kthread() stop_kthread() is the offline callback for "trace/osnoise:online", since commit 5bfbcd1ee57b ("tracing/timerlat: Add interface_lock around clearing of kthread in stop_kthread()"), the following ABBA deadlock scenario is introduced: T1 \| T2 [BP] \| T3 [AP] osnoise_hotplug_workfn() \| work_for_cpu_fn() \| cpuhp_thread_fun() \| _cpu_down() \| osnoise_cpu_die() mutex_lock(&interface_lock) \| \| stop_kthread() \| cpus_write_lock() \| mutex_lock(&interface_lock) cpus_read_lock() \| cpuhp_kick_ap() \| As the interface_lock here in just for protecting the "kthread" field of the osn_var, use xchg() instead to fix this issue. Also use for_each_online_cpu() back in stop_per_cpu_kthreads() as it can take cpu_read_lock() again.
