Note: I might be abusing your patch. So this could be a completely
bogus question/feedback.
Most important information here is that I placed additional tracepoints
during state transitions. I needed to disable the rcu_dereference
consistency checks to be able to get it working (not claiming that this
is the right thing to do)

When activating now the hist trigger by
echo 'hist:key=common_pid:val=enabled' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_latency_preempt/trigger
the system crashes reliable after a very short time. Those tracepoints
do work normally, so I see them in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace.
After some investigation I found out that event_hist_trigger() gets
called with rec=NULL. This is handed over to hist_field_s32() and
that function derefences the argument event (=NULL).

So I am wondering if the path from ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled()
to event_triggers_call() is supposed never to happen? The comment
on ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() indicate this might happen on
normal operation:
/**
* ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled - do triggers and test if soft disabled
* @file: The file pointer of the event to test
*
* If any triggers without filters are attached to this event, they
* will be called here. If the event is soft disabled and has no
* triggers that require testing the fields, it will return true,
* otherwise false.
*/
static inline bool
ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled(struct ftrace_event_file *file)
{
unsigned long eflags = file->flags;
if (!(eflags & FTRACE_EVENT_FL_TRIGGER_COND)) {
if (eflags & FTRACE_EVENT_FL_TRIGGER_MODE)
event_triggers_call(file, NULL);
if (eflags & FTRACE_EVENT_FL_SOFT_DISABLED)
return true;
}
return false;
}
cheers,
daniel
