Linux kernel source tree
6fa7f53735
A regression has occurred in the hid-sensor code where a device
name string has not been initialized to 0, and ends up without
a NULL char and is printed with %s. This includes random binary
data in the device name, which makes its way into the ftrace output
and ends up crashing sleepgraph because it expects the ftrace output
to be ASCII only.
For example: "HID-SENSOR-INT-020b?.39.auto" ends up in ftrace instead
of "HID-SENSOR-INT-020b.39.auto". It causes this crash in sleepgraph:
File "/usr/bin/sleepgraph", line 5579, in executeSuspend
for line in fp:
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/codecs.py", line 322, in decode
(result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position
1568: invalid start byte
The issue is present in 6.3-rc1 and is described in full here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217169
A separate fix has been submitted to have this issue repaired, but
it has also exposed a larger bug in sleepgraph, since nothing should
make sleepgraph crash. Sleepgraph needs to be able to handle binary
data showing up in ftrace gracefully.
Modify the ftrace processing code to treat it as potentially binary
and to filter out binary data and leave just the ASCII.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
