Subject: [PATCH 4/4] tracing/eprobe: Fix exact system name matching in eprobe_dyn_event_match()
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 19:12:38 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <178454235856.290363.14872590900774231133.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178454232006.290363.11301475407231432622.stgit@devnote2>

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

eprobe_dyn_event_match() checks if the target event system in argv[0]
matches ep->event_system using strncmp(ep->event_system, argv[0], len).
However, if ep->event_system is longer than len (e.g. "eprobes" vs
"ep/event"), strncmp() still returns 0 because the first len characters
match.

Check that ep->event_system[len] is '\0' to ensure exact system name
matching.

Fixes: 7d5fda1c841f ("tracing: Fix event probe removal from dynamic events")
