Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] tracing/synthetic: allocate one additional element for size
Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2023 08:05:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230810060538.1350348-4-svens@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230810060538.1350348-1-svens@linux.ibm.com>

While debugging another issue i noticed that the stack trace contains
one invalid entry at the end:

<idle>-0       [008] d..4.    26.484201: wake_lat: pid=0 delta=2629976084 000000009cc24024 stack=STACK:
=> __schedule+0xac6/0x1a98
=> schedule+0x126/0x2c0
=> schedule_timeout+0x150/0x2c0
=> kcompactd+0x9ca/0xc20
=> kthread+0x2f6/0x3d8
=> __ret_from_fork+0x8a/0xe8
=> 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b

This is because the code failed to add the one element containing the
number of entries to field_size.

Fixes: 00cf3d672a9d ("tracing: Allow synthetic events to pass around stacktraces")
