While debugging another bug, I was looking at all the synchronize*() functions being used in kernel/trace, and noticed that trace_uprobes was using synchronize_sched(), with a comment to synchronize with {u,ret}_probe_trace_func(). When looking at those functions, the data is protected with "rcu_read_lock()" and not with "rcu_read_lock_sched()". This is using the wrong synchronize_*() function.
