Subject: [PATCH v2 05/13] tracing/eprobe: Fix 1-byte signed field fetch in get_event_field()
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 10:27:24 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <179444684450.345731.8324000135791531252.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <179444679892.345731.5271591537517106679.stgit@devnote2>

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

Because the kernel is built with -funsigned-char, plain 'char' is
unsigned on all architectures. Reading 1-byte signed trace event fields
via *(char *)addr in get_event_field() therefore zero-extends instead of
sign-extending negative s8 values.

Use explicit fixed-width integer types (s8/u8, s16/u16, s32/u32) when
reading event fields.

Fixes: 7491e2c44278 ("tracing: Add a probe that attaches to trace events")
