| |
This includes two fixes.
1) is a bug fix that happens when root does the following:
echo function_graph > current_tracer modprobe foo echo nop > current_tracer
This causes the ftrace internal accounting to get screwed up and crashes ftrace, preventing the user from using the function tracer after that.
2) if a TRACE_EVENT has a string field, and NULL is given for it.
The internal trace event code does a strlen() and strcpy() on the source of field. If it is NULL it causes the system to oops.
This bug has been there since 2.6.31, but no TRACE_EVENT ever passed in a NULL to the string field, until now.
