Subject: [PATCH 07/12] tracing/probes: Fix user-space dereference string array store type
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 09:29:07 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <179418414754.227715.9900534226622724613.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <179418408457.227715.1485179201014819821.stgit@devnote2>

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

When finalizing a string array argument (e.g. +0u(%reg):string[N]),
finalize_fetch_insn() advances the instruction pointer to a new slot
for the store operation before checking whether the preceding operation
was FETCH_OP_UDEREF. As a result, user-space dereference string arrays
with type "string" emit FETCH_OP_ST_STRING (kernel memory read) instead
of FETCH_OP_ST_USTRING.

Check for FETCH_OP_UDEREF before advancing the instruction pointer.

Fixes: e65f7ae7f4da ("tracing/probe: Support user-space dereference")
