Subject: [PATCH v4 10/15] tracing/filters: Reject stray quotes and parentheses in unquoted function event operand
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 10:38:57 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <179323793740.740114.16357488115964317102.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <179323784538.740114.15323117974242744566.stgit@devnote2>

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

In parse_pred(), when parsing an unquoted operand for function events,
the loop only stops at ')', '&', '|', or the NUL terminator.

However, calc_stack() parses '(', '\'', and '"' independently to
determine stack depth and string boundaries. If an unquoted function
operand contains stray quotes or an open parenthesis (e.g. "ip == foo'bar"
or "ip == foo(bar)"), parse_pred() consumes them as part of the function
name operand, causing parse_pred() and calc_stack() to desynchronize.

Reject unquoted function event operands containing '(', '\'', or '"'
by reporting FILT_ERR_INVALID_VALUE.

Changes in v4:
 - Drop Fixes and Cc: stable tags since this is an error log improvement
   cleanup rather than a bug fix, as pointed out by Steven Rostedt.
Changes in v3:
 - Split from the monolithic function event parsing patch into a
   standalone patch rejecting stray quotes and '(' in unquoted operands.
