The issue is, if the keys uses one of the pseudo field types (like common_cpu), the hist_data field element will have NULL for its field member causing a NULL pointer dereference when accessing the key_field->field->name. # echo 'hist:keys=common_cpu:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs' > \ events/sched/sched_waking/trigger # echo 'my_synth u64 lat; int prio' > synthetic_events # echo 'hist:keys=common_cpu:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:\ onmatch(sched.sched_waking).my_synth($wakeup_lat,prio)' > \ events/sched/sched_switch/trigger KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017] RIP: 0010:create_field_var_hist+0x771/0x1380 Call Trace: trace_action_create_field_var+0x360/0x600 trace_action_create+0x393/0xe80 event_hist_trigger_parse+0x3e47/0x69e0 trigger_process_regex+0x1a6/0x250 event_trigger_write+0xce/0x160 Instead of accessing it directly, use the proper handler expr_field_str() to get the name. The three previous patches are prerequisites: without them a .buckets key and a common_stacktrace key each render into a command that cannot be parsed back.
