you can read in the feat: "that opponent provokes attacks of opportunity."

it says attacks - plural.
so I'm pretty confident you can says 2/ AoO from all who can


Each of them gets an attack.


When the ogre falls, each player gets an AoO.

When the ogre tries to rise, each player gets an AoO.

In the feat discribtion you can also read "YOU can make free attacks on foes that YOU knock down."

"You" is in my opinion only the attacker ?

Maybe it is a misunderstanding of the feat description due to the fact that I am not a native English speaker.

Here's the feat, as printed in the d20pfsrd:

Greater Trip (Combat)

You can make free attacks on foes that you knock down.

Prerequisites: Combat Expertise, Improved Trip, base attack bonus +6, Int 13.

Benefit: You receive a +2 bonus on checks made to trip a foe. This bonus stacks with the bonus granted by Improved Trip. Whenever you successfully trip an opponent, that opponent provokes attacks of opportunity.

Normal: Creatures do not provoke attacks of opportunity from being tripped.

The line you quote is under the feat name, so it's the fluff text. Ignore it for rules questions. It'll just give you a headache later;) The benefit says that opponent provokes AoOs when tripped by you, which isn't normal. So I would say that anyone in a position to make an AoO gets one.
