Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix trace_check_vprintf() when tp_printk is used
Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2024 10:49:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241003104925.4e1b1fd9@gandalf.local.home> (raw)
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
When the tp_printk kernel command line is used, the trace events go
directly to printk(). It is still checked via the trace_check_vprintf()
function to make sure the pointers of the trace event are legit.
The addition of reading buffers from previous boots required adding a
delta between the addresses of the previous boot and the current boot so
that the pointers in the old buffer can still be used. But this required
adding a trace_array pointer to acquire the delta offsets.
The tp_printk code does not provide a trace_array (tr) pointer, so when
the offsets were examined, a NULL pointer dereference happened and the
kernel crashed.
If the trace_array does not exist, just default the delta offsets to zero,
as that also means the trace event is not being read from a previous boot.
