From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a15f7fc20389a8827d5859907568b201234d4b79 ] There are a small number of 'generic fields' (comm/COMM/cpu/CPU) that are found by trace_find_event_field() but are only meant for filtering. Specifically, they unlike normal fields, they have a size of 0 and thus wreak havoc when used as a histogram key. Exclude these (return -EINVAL) when used as histogram keys.
