Subject: [for-next][PATCH 1/3] tracing: Fix race where eprobes can be called before the event

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The flag that tells the event to call its triggers after reading the event
is set for eprobes after the eprobe is enabled. This leads to a race where
the eprobe may be triggered at the beginning of the event where the record
information is NULL. The eprobe then dereferences the NULL record causing
a NULL kernel pointer bug.

Test for a NULL record to keep this from happening.
