From 55267c88c003a3648567beae7c90512d3e2ab15e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Zanussi Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2019 10:18:50 -0500 Subject: tracing: Prevent hist_field_var_ref() from accessing NULL tracing_map_elts hist_field_var_ref() is an implementation of hist_field_fn_t(), which can be called with a null tracing_map_elt elt param when assembling a key in event_hist_trigger(). In the case of hist_field_var_ref() this doesn't make sense, because a variable can only be resolved by looking it up using an already assembled key i.e. a variable can't be used to assemble a key since the key is required in order to access the variable. Upper layers should prevent the user from constructing a key using a variable in the first place, but in case one slips through, it shouldn't cause a NULL pointer dereference. Also if one does slip through, we want to know about it, so emit a one-time warning in that case.
