The reason is that filename is a char * to user space, and the histogram code just blindly dereferenced it, with obvious bad results. I originally tried to use strncpy_from_user/kernel_nofault() but found that there's other places that its dereferenced and not worth the effort. Just do not allow "char *" to act like strings.
