Description

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

tracing: Silence warning when chunk allocation fails in trace_pid_write

Syzkaller trigger a fault injection warning:

We can reproduce the warning by following the steps below: 1. echo 8 >> set_event_notrace_pid. Let tr->filtered_pids owns one pid and register sched_switch tracepoint. 2. echo ' ' >> set_event_pid, and perform fault injection during chunk allocation of trace_pid_list_alloc. Let pid_list with no pid and assign to tr->filtered_pids. 3. echo ' ' >> set_event_pid. Let pid_list is NULL and assign to tr->filtered_pids. 4. echo 9 >> set_event_pid, will trigger the double register sched_switch tracepoint warning.

The reason is that syzkaller injects a fault into the chunk allocation in trace_pid_list_alloc, causing a failure in trace_pid_list_set, which may trigger double register of the same tracepoint. This only occurs when the system is about to crash, but to suppress this warning, let's add failure handling logic to trace_pid_list_set.
