![]() Working on the histogram code, I found that if you dereference a char pointer in a trace event that happens to point to user space, it can crash the kernel, as it does no checks of that pointer. I have code coming that will do this better, so just remove this ability to treat character pointers in trace events as stings in the histogram. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCYPH9FRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qsyhAQDKiQzVJtjfsNbIWliDQOaUwJMO9tNl Qu5TUDmPbAA4fwD+MgYsnITPL+o/YcKQ+aMdj/wLLMKfIjhNkFY8wqdLvwg= =CN97 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v5.14-5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "Fix the histogram logic from possibly crashing the kernel Working on the histogram code, I found that if you dereference a char pointer in a trace event that happens to point to user space, it can crash the kernel, as it does no checks of that pointer.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
