tracing/probes: Reject events which have the same name of existing one
[ Upstream commit 8e242060 ] Since kprobe_events and uprobe_events only check whether the other same-type probe event has the same name or not, if the user gives the same name of the existing tracepoint event (or the other type of probe events), it silently fails to create the tracefs entry (but registered.) as below. /sys/kernel/tracing # ls events/task/task_rename enable filter format hist id trigger /sys/kernel/tracing # echo p:task/task_rename vfs_read >> kprobe_events [ 113.048508] Could not create tracefs 'task_rename' directory /sys/kernel/tracing # cat kprobe_events p:task/task_rename vfs_read To fix this issue, check whether the existing events have the same name or not in trace_probe_register_event_call(). If exists, it rejects to register the new event.
