Linus Torvalds 503f7e297d Testing a new trace event format, I triggered a bug by doing: ... # modprobe trace-events-sample # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sample-trace/enable # rmmod trace-events-sample This would cause an oops. The issue is that I added another trace event sample that reused a reg function of another trace event to create a thread to call the tracepoints. The problem was that the reg function couldn't handle nested calls (reg; reg; unreg; unreg;) and created two threads (instead of one) and only removed one on exit. This isn't a critical bug as the bug is only in sample code. But sample code should be free of known bugs to prevent others from copying it. This is why this is also marked for stable. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQHIBAABCgAyFiEEPm6V/WuN2kyArTUe1a05Y9njSUkFAlnmcA0UHHJvc3RlZHRA Z29vZG1pcy5vcmcACgkQ1a05Y9njSUkvqAwAhY/W7OF2JG/TV2cHNmHZqTEgQOFz 59EXWI7EsnQzcKTm14rWuR477iK+Q6r2YEzpGajHhBcOy8KjpzYM2+Oj3qzn6ovc dyMEwr2wsaVb52B0h2X9J7fsfzZtL0KIIb6Y/wSz/H28BTHMi0xJUJLDkH4W9jrB g/3vbKHLpbr4hg8msMPoLSExe4seZeHeB+6VQ+G3VHuIIPlCZOSCnXH05pd8AqC6 Y9cJzKqlivNPJFWUDnref0yE1aK/KuRsC+DpceJmP/K1+uiYhFMKCwlpWz/kI2eQ z02pYugUqck007NWCSdr1xTYWJQBEx4Ke19XKFhtXs2o5a/fgnVZoLYXUagV/QiT VoNDHnuqqnTESySMK38dQvekdj5lPU80ycy+Dsgp9RSCW804MBvaXswoMT1095OV zxyMAIsbSof2zgUqjUQKEFU75usjxpd1ifl6CoXlfH8hmKEvvdZmqvEypUKakyxh 0D9+DcGTyOAg9MLEpMdyaW7+F0CVLqwVToBM =xSts -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v4.14-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "Testing a new trace event format, I triggered a bug by doing: # modprobe trace-events-sample # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sample-trace/enable # rmmod trace-events-sample This would cause an oops.
