Subject: [PATCH v3 07/16] tracing/filters: Fix quoted operand parsing in function event filter
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 09:44:30 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <179314826994.684037.9596014447755216572.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <179314820431.684037.4147763044424284198.stgit@devnote2>

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

In parse_pred(), when parsing a quoted operand for function events (e.g.
ip == "schedule"):
1. The loop 'for (i++; str[i]; i++)' breaks when str[i] matches the
   closing quote, but 'i' is never incremented past the closing quote.
   As a result, parse_pred() returns 'i' pointing at the closing quote,
   causing the caller predicate_parse() to immediately re-parse the
   closing quote as the start of the next token and fail with
   FILT_ERR_TOO_MANY_PREDS.
2. If the closing quote is missing (e.g. ip == "schedule), the loop stops
   at the NUL terminator without reporting an error.
3. The loop started with 'i++', which was intended to skip the opening
   quote, but also unconditionally skipped the first character of unquoted
   function operands.

Fix this by advancing 'i' and setting 's = i' past the opening quote
before the loop, starting the loop at 'i' without unconditional
increment, reporting FILT_ERR_MISSING_QUOTE if the closing quote is
missing, and advancing 'i' past the closing quote.

Changes in v3:
 - Split from the monolithic function event parsing patch.
 - Allow empty quoted operand ("") as valid syntax per Steven Rostedt.
