Subject: [PATCH v8 01/10] tracing/probes: Make the $ prefix mandatory for comm access
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 23:41:37 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <178231209724.732967.12049805699091810641.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178231208703.732967.1160700962651040729.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Since $comm or $COMM are not event field but special fetcharg
variables to access current->comm, It should not be accessed
without '$' prefix even with typecast.
Fixes: 69efd863a785 ("tracing/eprobes: Allow use of BTF names to dereference pointers")
