Subject: tracing: Do not let histogram values have some modifiers
From: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit e0213434fe3e4a0d118923dc98d31e7ff1cd9e45 upstream.
Histogram values can not be strings, stacktraces, graphs, symbols,
syscalls, or grouped in buckets or log. Give an error if a value is set to
do so.
Note, the histogram code was not prepared to handle these modifiers for
histograms and caused a bug.
Mark Rutland reported:

# echo 'hist:keys=n:vals=hitcount.buckets=8:sort=hitcount' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kprobes/copy_to_user/trigger
