Hay una inconsistencia en la forma en que se manejan los permisos en tracefs. Debido a que los permisos se generan cuando se accede a ellos, de forma predeterminada son los permisos del inodo ra\u00edz si el usuario nunca los configur\u00f3. Si el usuario establece los permisos, entonces se establece una bandera y los permisos se guardan a trav\u00e9s del inodo (para archivos tracefs) o un campo de atributo interno (para eventfs). Pero si ocurre un reinicio que especifica los permisos, todos los archivos que no fueron modificados por el usuario se actualizan, pero los que s\u00ed no lo fueron. Si el usuario volviera a montar el sistema de archivos con un permiso determinado, entonces todos los archivos y directorios dentro de ese sistema de archivos deber\u00edan actualizarse. Esto puede causar problemas de seguridad si se actualiz\u00f3 el permiso de un archivo pero el administrador lo olvid\u00f3. Podr\u00edan pensar incorrectamente que volver a montar con los permisos establecidos actualizar\u00eda todos los archivos, pero perder\u00eda algunos.

If the user\nsets the permissions, then a flag is set and the permissions are saved via\nthe inode (for tracefs files) or an internal attribute field (for\neventfs).\nBut if a remount happens that specify the permissions, all the files that\nwere not changed by the user gets updated, but the ones that were are not.\nIf the user were to remount the file system with a given permission, then\nall files and directories within that file system should be updated.\nThis can cause security issues if a file's permission was updated but the\nadmin forgot about it. They could incorrectly think that remounting with\npermissions set would update all files, but miss some.\nFor example:\n# cd /sys/kernel/tracing\n# chgrp 1002 current_tracer\n# ls -l\n[..]\n-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_size_kb\n-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_subbuf_size_kb\n-r--r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_total_size_kb\n-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:25 current_tracer\n-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 dynamic_events\n-r--r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 dyn_ftrace_total_info\n-r--r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 enabled_functions\nWhere current_tracer now has group \"lkp\".\n# mount -o remount,gid=1001 .\n# ls -l\n-rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_size_kb\n-rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_subbuf_size_kb\n-r--r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_total_size_kb\n-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:25 current_tracer\n-rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 dynamic_events\n-r--r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 dyn_ftrace_total_info\n-r--r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 enabled_functions\nEverything changed but the \"current_tracer\".\nAdd a new link list that keeps track of all the tracefs_inodes which has\nthe permission flags that tell if the file/dir should use the root inode's\npermission or not.
