Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tracing: Fix crash when freeing instances with event triggers
Date: Tue, 29 May 2018 07:53:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180529115423.611643808@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180529115329.698052604@goodmis.org>
[-- Attachment #1: 0001-tracing-Fix-crash-when-freeing-instances-with-event-.patch --]

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
If a instance has an event trigger enabled when it is freed, it could cause
an access of free memory. Here's the case that crashes:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo snapshot > instances/foo/events/initcall/initcall_start/trigger
# rmdir instances/foo
Would produce:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI

This was due to the call the clears out the triggers when an instance is
being deleted not removing the trigger from the link list.
