From: Steven Rostedt As the system name can be freed when a module is removed, the reference to the system name that is passed to the enable routines to enable events at a system level can point to arbitrary memory. This value is only read, but it will just read garbage. Change the system event enabling to use the subsystem_open routines like the system filter routines do.
