[PATCH 0/2] Two tracing patches for trace_events_hist.c

Posted by Ammar Faizi 4 years ago

Hi,

Two patches here.

## Patch 1
If `WARN_ON(!glob)` is ever triggered, we will still continue executing
the next lines. This will trigger the more serious problem, a NULL
pointer dereference bug. Just return -EINVAL if @glob is NULL.

## Patch 2
Change `if (strlen(glob))` to `if (glob[0])`. No need to traverse to
the end of string. If the first byte is not a NUL char, it's
guaranteed `if (strlen(glob))` is true.
