Subject: [PATCH 11/12] tracing/probes: Validate command prefix in kprobe, uprobe, and eprobe
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 09:29:43 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <179418418328.227715.10680131052179044845.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <179418408457.227715.1485179201014819821.stgit@devnote2>

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

In kprobe, uprobe, and eprobe creation, trailing characters after the
command prefix ('p', 'r', or 'e') without a ':' separator (or non-digit
characters before ':') are silently ignored, creating a probe with the
default event name instead of reporting a syntax error as fprobe does.

Reject invalid characters following the command prefix with BAD_MAXACT.
