Subject: [for-next][PATCH 4/6] tracing: Return error if ftrace_trace_arrays list is empty
Date: Fri, 06 Jun 2014 12:30:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140606172104.693665166@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20140606163034.516780857@goodmis.org
[-- Attachment #1: 0003-tracing-Return-error-if-ftrace_trace_arrays-list-is-.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2726 bytes --]
From: Yoshihiro YUNOMAE <yoshihiro.yunomae.ez@hitachi.com>
ftrace_trace_arrays links global_trace.list. However, global_trace
is not added to ftrace_trace_arrays if trace_alloc_buffers() failed.
As the result, ftrace_trace_arrays becomes an empty list. If
ftrace_trace_arrays is an empty list, current top_trace_array() returns
an invalid pointer. As the result, the kernel can induce memory corruption
or panic.
Current implementation does not check whether ftrace_trace_arrays is empty
list or not. So, in this patch, if ftrace_trace_arrays is empty list,
top_trace_array() returns NULL. Moreover, this patch makes all functions
calling top_trace_array() handle it appropriately.
