From f66af459a931f25807e1df7915b2b66bb5978d82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 19:14:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tracepoint: check if the probe has been registered Impact: fix kernel crash that can trigger during tracing If we try to remove a probe that has not been already registered, the tracepoint_entry_remove_probe() function will dereference a NULL pointer. Check the probe before removing it to avoid crashes.
