Subject: [GIT PULL] probes: Fixes for v7.2-rc1
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 09:58:22 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701095822.2d45ed5bf9e1280cfbbb1e79@kernel.org> (raw)
Hi Linus,
Probes fixes for v7.2-rc1:
- fprobe: Fix stability and spelling typos
. Fix NULL pointer dereference in fprobe_fgraph_entry(): Prevent general
protection faults by checking shadow-stack reservation bounds. Skip
mid-flight registered fprobes that were not counted during sizing.
- eprobe: Fix string pointer extraction
. Correct the casting of string pointers read from the ringbuffer to
prevent truncation of base event pointer variables when dereferencing
FILTER_PTR_STRING fields.
- tracing/probes: Clean up argument parsing and BTF helper logic
. Make the $ prefix mandatory for comm access: Require the $ prefix for
special fetcharg variables like $comm and $COMM, preventing naming
conflicts with regular BTF-based event fields.
. Fix double addition of offset for @+FOFFSET: Clear the temporary offset
variable after setting the FETCH_OP_FOFFS instruction to avoid applying
the offset multiple times.
. Remove WARN_ON_ONCE from parse_btf_arg: Prevent triggering a kernel warning
via user-space input when creating a kprobe event on a raw address.
. Fix typo in a log message: Correct a spelling error ("$-valiable") in
trace probe log messages.
- samples/trace_events: Improve error checking
. Validate the thread pointer returned from kthread_run() in the trace
events sample code to properly handle thread creation failures.
