Subject: [PATCH] tracing: fprobe-event: Sanitize wildcard for fprobe event name
Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2025 23:10:51 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <175535345114.282990.12294108192847938710.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Fprobe event accepts wildcards for the target functions, but unless user
specifies its event name, it makes an event with the wildcards.
/sys/kernel/tracing # echo 'f mutex*' >> dynamic_events
/sys/kernel/tracing # cat dynamic_events
f:fprobes/mutex*__entry mutex*
/sys/kernel/tracing # ls events/fprobes/
enable filter mutex*__entry
To fix this, replace the wildcard ('*') with an underscore.
Fixes: 334e5519c375 ("tracing/probes: Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit.")
