[for-linus][PATCH 7/7] tracing/eprobe: Fix eprobe filter to make a filter correctly

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Sun Nov 20 2022 - 15:13:08 EST


From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Since the eprobe filter was defined based on the eprobe's trace event
itself, it doesn't work correctly. Use the original trace event of
the eprobe when making the filter so that the filter works correctly.

Without this fix:

# echo 'e syscalls/sys_enter_openat \
flags_rename=$flags:u32 if flags < 1000' >> dynamic_events
# echo 1 > events/eprobes/sys_enter_openat/enable
[ 114.551550] event trace: Could not enable event sys_enter_openat
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

With this fix:
# echo 'e syscalls/sys_enter_openat \
flags_rename=$flags:u32 if flags < 1000' >> dynamic_events
# echo 1 > events/eprobes/sys_enter_openat/enable
# tail trace
cat-241 [000] ...1. 266.498449: sys_enter_openat: (syscalls.sys_enter_openat) flags_rename=0
cat-242 [000] ...1. 266.977640: sys_enter_openat: (syscalls.sys_enter_openat) flags_rename=0
