This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing/cfi: Fix cmp_entries_* functions signature mismatch to the 4.14-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-cfi-fix-cmp_entries_-functions-signature-mis.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit fcbb9939926e38f788cdf767d1e214816fc2ee76 Author: Kalesh Singh <kaleshsingh@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 13 21:52:17 2021 -0700 tracing/cfi: Fix cmp_entries_* functions signature mismatch [ Upstream commit 7ce1bb83a14019f8c396d57ec704d19478747716 ] If CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y, attempting to read an event histogram will cause the kernel to panic due to failed CFI check. 1. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger 2. cat events/sched/sched_switch/hist 3. kernel panics on attempting to read hist This happens because the sort() function expects a generic int (*)(const void *, const void *) pointer for the compare function. To prevent this CFI failure, change tracing map cmp_entries_* function signatures to match this. Also, fix the build error reported by the kernel test robot [1].
