Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] tracing: Only report the stacktrace modifier on a real field
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 14:34:42 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914053443.981201-4-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914053443.981201-1-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com>
get_hist_field_flags() returns "stacktrace" for any field carrying
HIST_FIELD_FL_STACKTRACE, including the common_stacktrace pseudo-field,
which has no ftrace_event_field behind it. parse_field() no longer takes
the modifier there:
if (stack_modifier &&
(!field || field->filter_type != FILTER_STACKTRACE)) {
hist_err(tr, HIST_ERR_BAD_FIELD_MODIFIER, errpos(field_str));
so expr_field_str() renders "common_stacktrace.stacktrace", a spelling
that cannot be parsed back.
Report the modifier only when there is a field to report it for.
hist_field_print(), the other caller of get_hist_field_flags(), excludes
HIST_FIELD_FL_STACKTRACE before it calls, so this is confined to
expr_field_str(), whose only key renderer arrives in the next patch.
Fixes: a5e70ba87ca8 ("tracing: Fix memory corruption from the histogram stacktrace modifier")
