- Initialize hash variables in ftrace subops logic The fix that simplified the ftrace subops logic opened a path where some variables could be used without being initialized, and done subtly where the compiler did not catch it. Initialize those variables to the EMPTY_HASH, which is the default hash. - Reinitialize the hash pointers after they are freed Some of the hash pointers in the subop logic were freed but may still be referenced later. To prevent use-after-free bugs, initialize them back to the EMPTY_HASH. - Free the ftrace hashes when they are replaced The fix that simplified the subops logic updated some hash pointers, but left the original hash that they were pointing to where they are no longer used. This caused a memory leak. Free the hashes that are pointed to by the pointers when they are replaced. - Fix size initialization of ftrace direct function hash The ftrace direct function hash used by BPF initialized the hash size incorrectly. It checked the size of items to a hard coded 32, which made the hash bit size of 5. The hash size is supposed to be limited by the bit size of the hash, as the bitmask is allowed to be greater than 5. Rework the size check to first pass the number of elements to fls() and then compare that to FTRACE_HASH_MAX_BITS before allocating the hash. - Fix format output of ftrace_graph_ent_entry event The field depth of the ftrace_graph_ent_entry event is of size 4 but the output showed it as unsigned long and use "%lu". Change it to unsigned int and use "%u" in the print format that is displayed to user space. - Fix the trace event filter on strings Events can be filtered on numbers or string values. The return value checked from strncpy_from_kernel_nofault() and strncpy_from_user_nofault() was used to determine if reading the strings would fault or not. It would return fault if the value was non zero, which is basically meant that it was always considering the read as a fault. - Add selftest to test trace event string filtering In order to catch the breakage of the string filtering, add a self test to make sure that it continues to work. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCaAPqNRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qv5nAP4mqIgne7tzMhHIH/nQGM/7Dj98n+Vt BXm6VifVdVJvtAD+KCDipZ2MspGEeZX3SDSnvBuj0S+OX9T9CTWPv+rFUwE= =AWY4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.15-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Initialize hash variables in ftrace subops logic The fix that simplified the ftrace subops logic opened a path where some variables could be used without being initialized, and done subtly where the compiler did not catch it.

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 reStructuredText 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.
