[PATCH 5.15 252/565] perf trace: avoid garbage when not printing a trace events arguments

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Benjamin Peterson <benjamin@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 5fb8e56542a3cf469fdf25d77f50e21cbff3ae7e ]

trace__fprintf_tp_fields may not print any tracepoint arguments. E.g., if the
argument values are all zero. Previously, this would result in a totally
uninitialized buffer being passed to fprintf, which could lead to garbage on the
console. Fix the problem by passing the number of initialized bytes fprintf.

Fixes: f11b2803bb88 ("perf trace: Allow choosing how to augment the tracepoint arguments")
