Now that there's a library that accesses the tracefs file system, (libtracefs), the way the files are interacted with is slightly different than the command line. For instance, the write() system call is used directly instead of an echo. This exposes some old bugs. If a probe is written to "set_ftrace_filter" without any white space after it, it will be ignored. This is because the write expects that a string written to it that does not end with white spaces thinks there is more to come. But if the file is closed, the release function needs to finish it. The "set_ftrace_filter" release function handles the filter part of the "set_ftrace_filter" file, but did not handle the probe part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCYJP4OBQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6quzjAQCoFQXkJtYhwlMk0dTxclrsQlm0t93H pHwJA9Zyxe25UgD8D/rpG/wtHaSSuP6omEDbqvshpNdszqKb0Nt+UM116QU= =niJ6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v5.13-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "Fix probes written to the set_ftrace_filter file Now that there's a library that accesses the tracefs file system (libtracefs), the way the files are interacted with is slightly different than the command line.

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.
