From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.88 commit 89baf6bbe6b68981f06766965519ac265e707862 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/IC8J7I Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit a8c5b0ed89a3f2c81c6ae0b041394e6eea0e7024 upstream. The filter string testing uses strncpy_from_kernel/user_nofault() to retrieve the string to test the filter against. The if() statement was incorrect as it considered 0 as a fault, when it is only negative that it faulted. Running the following commands: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo "filename.ustring ~ \"/proc*\"" > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter # echo 1 > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/enable # ls /proc/$$/maps # cat trace Would produce nothing, but with the fix it will produce something like: ls-1192 [007] ..... 8169.828333: sys_openat(dfd: ffffffffffffff9c, filename: 7efc18359904, flags: 80000, mode: 0) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAEf4BzbVPQ=BjWztmEwBPRKHUwNfKBkS3kce-Rzka6zvbQe...
