In this case, 'data->match_data.event' is overwritten and\neventually cause the panic.\n\nTo solve the issue, adjust the length of 'data->var_ref_idx' to be\nSYNTH_FIELDS_MAX and add sanity checks to avoid out-of-bound write.\n\n[1]\n # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/\n # echo \"my_synth_event int v1; int v2; int v3; int v4; int v5; int v6;\\\nint v7; int v8; int v9; int v10; int v11; int v12; int v13; int v14;\\\nint v15; int v16; int v17; int v18; int v19; int v20; int v21; int v22;\\\nint v23; int v24; int v25; int v26; int v27; int v28; int v29; int v30;\\\nint v31; int v32; int v33; int v34; int v35; int v36; int v37; int v38;\\\nint v39; int v40; int v41; int v42; int v43; int v44; int v45; int v46;\\\nint v47; int v48; int v49; int v50; int v51; int v52; int v53; int v54;\\\nint v55; int v56; int v57; int v58; int v59; int v60; int v61; int v62;\\\nint v63\" >> synthetic_events\n # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs if comm==\"bash\"' >> \\\nevents/sched/sched_waking/trigger\n # echo \"hist:keys=next_pid:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).my_synth_event(\\\npid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,\\\npid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,\\\npid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,\\\npid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid,pid)\" >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger\n\n[2]\nBUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff91c900000000\nPGD 61001067 P4D 61001067 PUD 0\nOops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI\nCPU: 2 PID: 322 Comm: bash Tainted: G W 6.1.0-rc8+ #229\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS\nrel-1.15.0-0-g2dd4b9b3f840-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014\nRIP: 0010:strcmp+0xc/0x30\nCode: 75 f7 31 d2 44 0f b6 04 16 44 88 04 11 48 83 c2 01 45 84 c0 75 ee\nc3 cc cc cc cc 0f 1f 00 31 c0 eb 08 48 83 c0 01 84 d2 74 13 <0f> b6 14\n07 3a 14 06 74 ef 19 c0 83 c8 01 c3 cc cc cc cc 31 c3\nRSP: 0018:ffff9b3b00f53c48 EFLAGS: 00000246\nRAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffffffba958a68 RCX: 0000000000000000\nRDX: 0000000000000010 RSI: ffff91c943d33a90 RDI: ffff91c900000000\nRBP: ffff91c900000000 R08: 00000018d604b529 R09: 0000000000000000\nR10: ffff91c9483eddb1 R11: ffff91ca483eddab R12: ffff91c946171580\nR13: ffff91c9479f0538 R14: ffff91c9457c2848 R15: ffff91c9479f0538\nFS: 00007f1d1cfbe740(0000) GS:ffff91c9bdc80000(0000)\nknlGS:0000000000000000\nCS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: ffff91c900000000 CR3: 0000000006316000 CR4: 00000000000006e0\nCall Trace:\n \n __find_event_file+0x55/0x90\n action_create+0x76c/0x1060\n event_hist_trigger_parse+0x146d/0x2060\n ?
