  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  tracepoint: balance regfunc() on func_add() failure in tracepoint_add_func()  When a tracepoint goes through the 0 -\u003e 1 transition, tracepoint_add_func() invokes the subsystem's ext-\u003eregfunc() before attempting to install the new probe via func_add(). If func_add() then fails (for example, when allocate_probes() cannot allocate a new probe array under memory pressure and returns -ENOMEM), the function returns the error without calling the matching ext-\u003eunregfunc(), leaving the side effects of regfunc() behind with no installed probe to justify them.  For syscall tracepoints this is particularly unpleasant: syscall_regfunc() bumps sys_tracepoint_refcount and sets SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT on every task. After a leaked failure, the refcount is stuck at a non-zero value with no consumer, and every task continues paying the syscall trace entry/exit overhead until reboot. Other subsystems providing regfunc()/unregfunc() pairs exhibit similarly scoped persistent state.  Mirror the existing 1 -\u003e 0 cleanup and call ext-\u003eunregfunc() in the func_add() error path, gated on the same condition used there so the unwind is symmetric with the registration.",
