[PATCH 01/20] perf trace: Check for vfs_getname.pathname length

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Mon Mar 27 2017 - 21:44:43 EST


From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

It shouldn't be zero, but if the 'perf probe' on getname_flags() (or
elsewhere in the future we need to probe to catch the pathname for
syscalls like 'open' being copied from userspace to the kernel) is
misplaced somehow, then we will end up not allocating space and trying
to copy the "" empty string to ttrace->filename.name, causing a
segfault, fix it.
