- The run time string verifier that checks all trace event formats as they are read from the tracing file to make sure that the %s pointers are not reading something that no longer exists, failed to account for %*.s where the length given is zero, and the string is NULL. It incorrectly flagged it as a null pointer dereference and gave a WARN_ON(). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCYjzyxBQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qk+WAP4+ICutAiIGyPmHEqtjLGyDPC25nbB3 vg+qWWkWEOIi5gD+PpGsGSE7HYFdWJi1BCfshNOm8I92TyoE2nJkXh3LeA8= =mZr5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v5.18-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull trace event string verifier fix from Steven Rostedt: "The run-time string verifier checks all trace event formats as they are read from the tracing file to make sure that the %s pointers are not reading something that no longer exists.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
