Subject: [PATCH v2] perf test: Fix test trace+probe_vfs_getname.sh
Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2020 14:20:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200120132011.64698-3-tmricht@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200120132011.64698-1-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.

Fix this with a patch to specify user space memory access to
parameter 'filename' and 'string' is replaced by 'ustring'.
