This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing: Fix race where eprobes can be called before the event to the 6.1-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-fix-race-where-eprobes-can-be-called-before-the-event.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From d5f30a7da8ea8e6450250275cec5670cee3c4264 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022 21:42:49 -0500 Subject: tracing: Fix race where eprobes can be called before the event From: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit d5f30a7da8ea8e6450250275cec5670cee3c4264 upstream. The flag that tells the event to call its triggers after reading the event is set for eprobes after the eprobe is enabled. This leads to a race where the eprobe may be triggered at the beginning of the event where the record information is NULL. The eprobe then dereferences the NULL record causing a NULL kernel pointer bug. Test for a NULL record to keep this from happening.
