This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing/probes: Reject events which have the same name of existing one to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tracing-probes-reject-events-which-have-the-same-nam.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a2b2a7a010dbee4bd8e18577cd734bb8ec3f2c14 Author: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Aug 19 19:26:02 2021 +0900 tracing/probes: Reject events which have the same name of existing one [ Upstream commit 8e242060c6a4947e8ae7d29794af6a581db08841 ] Since kprobe_events and uprobe_events only check whether the other same-type probe event has the same name or not, if the user gives the same name of the existing tracepoint event (or the other type of probe events), it silently fails to create the tracefs entry (but registered.) as below. /sys/kernel/tracing # ls events/task/task_rename enable filter format hist id trigger /sys/kernel/tracing # echo p:task/task_rename vfs_read >> kprobe_events [ 113.048508] Could not create tracefs 'task_rename' directory /sys/kernel/tracing # cat kprobe_events p:task/task_rename vfs_read To fix this issue, check whether the existing events have the same name or not in trace_probe_register_event_call(). If exists, it rejects to register the new event.
