Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tracing/user_events: Fix struct arg size match check
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2023 23:50:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230629235049.581-2-beaub@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230629235049.581-1-beaub@linux.microsoft.com>

When users register an event the name of the event and it's argument are
checked to ensure they match if the event already exists. Normally all
arguments are in the form of "type name", except for when the type
starts with "struct ". In those cases, the size of the struct is passed
in addition to the name, IE: "struct my_struct a 20" for an argument
that is of type "struct my_struct" with a field name of "a" and has the
size of 20 bytes.

The current code does not honor the above case properly when comparing
a match. This causes the event register to fail even when the same
string was used for events that contain a struct argument within them.
The example above "struct my_struct a 20" generates a match string of
"struct my_struct a" omitting the size field.

Add the struct size of the existing field when generating a comparison
string for a struct field to ensure proper match checking.

Fixes: e6f89a149872 ("tracing/user_events: Ensure user provided strings are safely formatted")
