From c786d2bdf1f3964deee192ad942dee2a741c1e2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 21:49:51 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] tracing/mmiotrace: Reset dropped_count in mmio_reset_data() mmio_reset_data() is called during tracer initialization, reset, and start. While it resets overrun_detected and prev_overruns, it neglects to reset dropped_count. Consequently, dropped event counts from prior tracing sessions persist in dropped_count and corrupt overrun reports in subsequent runs. Fix this by explicitly calling atomic_set(&dropped_count, 0) in mmio_reset_data().

If __register_event() fails (for example, if event_init() fails), the trace_event_call is not added to ftrace_events list, but __add_event_to_tracers() still creates a trace_event_file pointing to it. If module loading subsequently fails and module memory is freed, tracing state retains a stale trace_event_call pointer in trace_event_file, leading to a use-after-free when tracefs or tracing subsystem operations are later executed. Fix this by checking the return value of __register_event() and only calling __add_event_to_tracers() if event registration succeeded.

When len is smaller than r->len (the filter pattern length), strncmp() checks only len bytes of r->pattern against str. If those len bytes match, strncmp() returns 0, resulting in a false-positive match where a shorter string in a fixed-size field matches a longer filter pattern. For example, a 4-byte static string field containing "abcd" matched the filter pattern "abcdefgh" because strncmp("abcd", "abcdefgh", 4) returned 0. In this case, @len does NOT include '\0' because it is fixed-size array. Fix this by returning 0 (no match) early when len < r->len.
