Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix race where histograms can be called before the event
Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2022 16:43:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221123164323.03450c3a@gandalf.local.home> (raw)
From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
commit 94eedf3dded5 ("tracing: Fix race where eprobes can be called before
the event") fixed an issue where if an event is soft disabled, and the
trigger is being added, there's a small window where the event sees that
there's a trigger but does not see that it requires reading the event yet,
and then calls the trigger with the record == NULL.
This could be solved with adding memory barriers in the hot path, or to
make sure that all the triggers requiring a record check for NULL. The
latter was chosen.
Commit 94eedf3dded5 set the eprobe trigger handle to check for NULL, but
the same needs to be done with histograms.
