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

tracing: Fix race issue between cpu buffer write and swap

Warning happened in rb_end_commit() at code:
	if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, !local_read(&cpu_buffer->committing)))

It is because the race between writing event into cpu buffer and swapping
cpu buffer through file per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot:

  Write on CPU 0             Swap buffer by per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot on CPU 1
  --------                   --------
                             tracing_snapshot_write()
                               [...]

    cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]; // 1. Suppose find 'cpu_buffer_a';
    [...]

                                 if (local_read(&cpu_buffer_a->committing))
                                     goto out_dec;
                                 if (local_read(&cpu_buffer_b->committing))
                                     goto out_dec;
                                 buffer_a->buffers[cpu] = cpu_buffer_b;
                                 buffer_b->buffers[cpu] = cpu_buffer_a;
                                 // 2. cpu_buffer has swapped here.

      rb_start_commit(cpu_buffer);
      if (unlikely(READ_ONCE(cpu_buffer->buffer)
          != buffer)) { // 3. This check passed due to 'cpu_buffer->buffer'
        [...]           //    has not changed here.
        return NULL;
      }
                                 cpu_buffer_b->buffer = buffer_a;
                                 cpu_buffer_a->buffer = buffer_b;
                                 [...]

      // 4. Reserve event from 'cpu_buffer_a'.

  ring_buffer_unlock_commit()
    [...]
    cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]; // 5. Now find 'cpu_buffer_b' !!!
    rb_commit(cpu_buffer)
      rb_end_commit()  // 6. WARN for the wrong 'committing' state !!!

Based on above analysis, we can easily reproduce by following testcase:
  ``` bash
  #!/bin/bash

  dmesg -n 7
  sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_warn=1
  TR=/sys/kernel/tracing
  echo 7 > ${TR}/buffer_size_kb
  echo "sched:sched_switch" > ${TR}/set_event
  while [ true ]; do
          echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
  done &
  while [ true ]; do
          echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
  done &
  while [ true ]; do
          echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
  done &
  ```

To fix it, IIUC, we can use smp_call_function_single() to do the swap on
the target cpu where the buffer is located, so that above race would be
avoided.
