Subject: [PATCH 09/10] tracing/filters: Terminate filter string at first newline
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 01:26:47 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <179285920744.466249.13202891755334148747.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <179285912318.466249.7425922682086130057.stgit@devnote2>

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Each trace event or subsystem only holds a single filter, and
append_filter_err() / tracing_log_err() caret placement assumes a
single-line filter string. However, apply_event_filter() and
apply_subsystem_event_filter() only call strstrip(), which strips
trailing newlines but leaves embedded newlines intact.

An embedded newline in a filter string (for example inside 'CPUS{0\n"}')
causes cpulist_parse() / bitmap_parselist() to treat '\n' as the end of
the cpulist and ignore trailing characters before '}', desynchronizing
quote tracking between calc_stack() and parse_pred() and misaligning
error_log caret reporting.

Terminate filter_string at the first '\n' in apply_event_filter(),
apply_subsystem_event_filter(), and create_filter_start() so only the
first line is parsed.
