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

coresight: tmc-etr: Fix race condition between sysfs and perf mode

When trying to run perf and sysfs mode simultaneously, the WARN_ON()
in tmc_etr_enable_hw() is triggered sometimes:

Since the enablement of sysfs mode is separeted into two critical regions,
one for sysfs buffer allocation and another for hardware enablement, it's
possible to race with the perf mode. Fix this by double check whether
the perf mode's been used before enabling the hardware in sysfs mode.

 mode:
   [sysfs mode]                   [perf mode]
   tmc_etr_get_sysfs_buffer()
     spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock)
     [sysfs buffer allocation]
     spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock)
                                  spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock)
                                  tmc_etr_enable_hw()
                                    drvdata->etr_buf = etr_perf->etr_buf
                                  spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock)
   spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock)
   tmc_etr_enable_hw()
     WARN_ON(drvdata->etr_buf) // WARN sicne etr_buf initialized at
                                  the perf side
   spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock)

With this fix, we retain the check for CS_MODE_PERF in get_etr_sysfs_buf.
This ensures we verify whether the perf mode's already running before we
actually allocate the buffer. Then we can save the time of
allocating/freeing the sysfs buffer if race with the perf mode.
