mainlining shenanigans
9e6124d9d6
Since add_probe_trace_event() can reuse tf->tevs[i] after calling
clear_probe_trace_event(), this can make perf-probe crash if the 1st
attempt of probe event finding fails to find an event argument, and the
2nd attempt fails to find probe point.
E.g.
$ perf probe -D "task_pid_nr tsk"
Failed to find 'tsk' in this function.
Failed to get entry address of warn_bad_vsyscall
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Committer testing:
After the patch:
$ perf probe -D "task_pid_nr tsk"
Failed to find 'tsk' in this function.
Failed to get entry address of warn_bad_vsyscall
Failed to get entry address of signal_fault
Failed to get entry address of show_signal
Failed to get entry address of umip_printk
Failed to get entry address of __bad_area_nosemaphore
<SNIP>
Failed to get entry address of sock_set_timeout
Failed to get entry address of tcp_recvmsg
Probe point 'task_pid_nr' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.

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.
