Subject: [PATCH v3 08/13] tracing/probes: Reject array count on non-dereference string sources
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 17:29:13 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <179455855309.403392.4197028577158545202.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <179455847934.403392.15146485751358774349.stgit@devnote2>

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

The runtime array loop (FETCH_OP_LP_ARRAY) for string types requires a
preceding memory dereference instruction so it can advance the pointer
address on each iteration. Non-dereference string sources such as $comm,
immediate strings, and eprobe event fields cannot be indexed as pointer
arrays, but finalize_fetch_insn() still accepts an array count on them
and emits an invalid FETCH_OP_LP_ARRAY sequence.

Reject string array counts when the preceding operation is not a memory
dereference.

Fixes: 40b53b771806 ("tracing: probeevent: Add array type support")
