Subject: [PATCH] perf test: Fix test trace+probe_vfs_getname.sh
Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2019 14:45:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191216134556.45064-2-tmricht@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191216134556.45064-1-tmricht@linux.ibm.com>
This test places a kprobe to function getname_flags() in the kernel
which has the following prototype:
struct filename *
getname_flags(const char __user *filename, int flags, int *empty)
Variable filename points to a filename located in user space memory.
Looking at
commit 88903c464321c ("tracing/probe: Add ustring type for user-space string")
the kprobe should indicate that user space memory is accessed.
So I suggest the following patch to specify user space memory access
where 'string' is replaced by 'ustring'.
