tracing: Fix potential null-pointer-access of entry in list 'tr->err_log'
Entries in list 'tr->err_log' will be reused after entry number exceed TRACING_LOG_ERRS_MAX. The cmd string of the to be reused entry will be freed first then allocated a new one. If the allocation failed, then the entry will still be in list 'tr->err_log' but its 'cmd' field is set to be NULL, later access of 'cmd' is risky. Currently above problem can cause the loss of 'cmd' information of first entry in 'tr->err_log'. When execute `cat /sys/kernel/tracing/error_log`, reproduce logs like: [ 37.495100] trace_kprobe: error: Maxactive is not for kprobe(null) ^ [ 38.412517] trace_kprobe: error: Maxactive is not for kprobe Command: p4:myprobe2 do_sys_openat2 ^ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20221114104632.3547266-1-zhengyejian1@huawei.com Fixes: 1581a884 ("tracing: Remove size restriction on tracing_log_err cmd strings") Signed-off-by: Zheng Yejian <zhengyejian1@huawei.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
