Subject: [PATCH 7.2 14/88] tracing/histograms: Verify event_call identity when updating synth_event refcount
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 17:59:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028165942.451494411@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028165942.107695352@linuxfoundation.org>

7.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org>

commit 3403d9bb27ebc3572bd048620746b4414e073bf9 upstream.

In event_hist_trigger_parse() and hist_unreg_all(), the histogram
registration and unregistration paths look up find_synth_event() using
trace_event_name(file->event_call) and adjust se->ref if a match is
found.

Because find_synth_event() only compares the event basename, registering
or removing a histogram on a non-synthetic trace event whose basename
matches a synthetic event erroneously modifies the synthetic event's
reference count.  If a histogram is registered on the non-synthetic
event before the synthetic event is created and removed afterwards,
se->ref is decremented without a matching increment, allowing the
synthetic event to be freed while an active histogram action still holds
a pointer to it.

Introduce find_synth_event_call() to verify that &se->call matches
file->event_call before adjusting se->ref.

Fixes: 4b147936fa50 ("tracing: Add support for 'synthetic' events")
