Somehow recently I frequently hit the following test failure with either ./test_progs or ./test_progs-cpuv4: serial_test_ptr_untrusted:PASS:skel_open 0 nsec serial_test_ptr_untrusted:PASS:lsm_attach 0 nsec serial_test_ptr_untrusted:PASS:raw_tp_attach 0 nsec serial_test_ptr_untrusted:FAIL:cmp_tp_name unexpected cmp_tp_name: actual -115 != expected 0 #182 ptr_untrusted:FAIL Further investigation found the failure is due to bpf_probe_read_user_str() where reading user-level string attr->raw_tracepoint.name is not successfully, most likely due to the string itself still in disk and not populated into memory yet. One solution is do a printf() call of the string before doing bpf syscall which will force the raw_tracepoint.name into memory. But I think a more robust solution is to use bpf_copy_from_user() which is used in sleepable program and can tolerate page fault, and the fix here used the latter approach.

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.
