Subject: [PATCH 01/10] tracing/filters: Fix MATCH_END_ONLY regex matching for fixed-size strings
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 01:25:33 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <179285913336.466249.16045710288666912574.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <179285912318.466249.7425922682086130057.stgit@devnote2>

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

regex_match_end() calculated string length as "len - 1", assuming @len is
the string length including trailing '\0'. However, for fixed-size string
fields, filter_pred_string() passes field->size as @len, and for "comm",
filter_pred_comm() passes TASK_COMM_LEN as @len.

Because @len in these cases represents the buffer capacity rather than the
actual length of the string, regex_match_end() tests against the tail of
the buffer (typically trailing '\0' padding) rather than the end of the
string. Furthermore, if @len is 0 (denoting a dynamic string ending with
'\0'), "len - 1" underflows to -1 and never matches.

Compute the actual string length using strnlen(str, len) when @len is
non-zero, and strlen(str) when @len is zero.
