[for-linus][PATCH 0/3] tracing: Fixes for v6.18
Posted by Steven Rostedt 3 months ago
Fixes for tracing:

- Check for reader catching up in ring_buffer_map_get_reader()

  If the reader catches up to the writer in the memory mapped ring buffer
  then calling rb_get_reader_page() will return NULL as there's no
  pages left. But this isn't checked for before calling rb_get_reader_page()
  and the return of NULL causes a warning.

  If it is detected that the reader caught up to the writer, then simply
  exit the routine.

- Fix memory leak in histogram create_field_var()

  The couple of the error paths in create_field_var() did not properly clean
  up what was allocated. Make sure everything is freed properly on error.

- Fix help message of tools latency_collector

  The help message incorrectly stated that "-t" was the same as "--threads"
  whereas "--threads" is actually represented by "-e".
