Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 4e58e54754 tracing: Allow events to have NULL strings ... If an TRACE_EVENT() uses __assign_str() or __get_str on a NULL pointer then the following oops will happen: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<c127a17b>] strlen+0x10/0x1a *pde = 00000000 ^M Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 3.13.0-rc1-test+ #2 Hardware name: /DG965MQ, BIOS MQ96510J.86A.0372.2006.0605.1717 06/05/2006^M task: f5cde9f0 ti: f5e5e000 task.ti: f5e5e000 EIP: 0060:[<c127a17b>] EFLAGS: 00210046 CPU: 1 EIP is at strlen+0x10/0x1a EAX: 00000000 EBX: c2472da8 ECX: ffffffff EDX: c2472da8 ESI: c1c5e5fc EDI: 00000000 EBP: f5e5fe84 ESP: f5e5fe80 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 CR0: 8005003b CR2: 00000000 CR3: 01f32000 CR4: 000007d0 Stack: f5f18b90 f5e5feb8 c10687a8 0759004f 00000005 00000005 00000005 00200046 00000002 00000000 c1082a93 f56c7e28 c2472da8 c1082a93 f5e5fee4 c106bc61^M 00000000 c1082a93 00000000 00000000 00000001 00200046 00200082 00000000 Call Trace: [<c10687a8>] ftrace_raw_event_lock+0x39/0xc0 [<c1082a93>] ? ktime_get+0x29/0x69 [<c1082a93>] ? ktime_get+0x29/0x69 [<c106bc61>] lock_release+0x57/0x1a5 [<c1082a93>] ? ktime_get+0x29/0x69 [<c10824dd>] read_seqcount_begin.constprop.7+0x4d/0x75 [<c1082a93>] ? ktime_get+0x29/0x69^M [<c1082a93>] ktime_get+0x29/0x69 [<c108a46a>] __tick_nohz_idle_enter+0x1e/0x426 [<c10690e8>] ? lock_release_holdtime.part.19+0x48/0x4d [<c10bc184>] ? time_hardirqs_off+0xe/0x28 [<c1068c82>] ? trace_hardirqs_off_caller+0x3f/0xaf [<c108a8cb>] tick_nohz_idle_enter+0x59/0x62 [<c1079242>] cpu_startup_entry+0x64/0x192 [<c102299c>] start_secondary+0x277/0x27c Code: 90 89 c6 89 d0 88 c4 ac 38 e0 74 09 84 c0 75 f7 be 01 00 00 00 89 f0 48 5e 5d c3 55 89 e5 57 66 66 66 66 90 83 c9 ff 89 c7 31 c0 <f2> ae f7 d1 8d 41 ff 5f 5d c3 55 89 e5 57 66 66 66 66 90 31 ff EIP: [<c127a17b>] strlen+0x10/0x1a SS:ESP 0068:f5e5fe80 CR2: 0000000000000000 ---[ end trace 01bc47bf519ec1b2 ]--- New tracepoints have been added that have allowed for NULL pointers being assigned to strings. To fix this, change the TRACE_EVENT() code to check for NULL and if it is, it will assign "(null)" to it instead (similar to what glibc printf does).
