So this is definitely a bug. Thanks for reporting this.

This is called within a tracepoint, thus you can not call kmalloc.

This is not the right way to fix it. Simply check if the string is user
space and copy it into a temp per cpu buffer. In fact, kernel space strings
should be tested as well.

I wrote this up. Can you make sure it works for you?

Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Add test for user space strings when filtering on
string pointers

Pingfan reported that the following causes a fault:

echo "filename ~ \"cpu\"" > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
echo 1 > events/syscalls/sys_enter_at/enable

The reason is that trace event filter treats the user space pointer
defined by "filename" as a normal pointer to compare against the "cpu"
string. If the string is not loaded into memory yet, it will trigger a
fault in kernel space:

To be even more robust, test both kernel and user space strings. If the
string fails to read, then simply have the filter fail.
