From 10fb46d5f79147620d0afda7d3d51302a1e38191 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Krause Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 15:05:39 -0700 Subject: kprobes: handle empty/invalid input to debugfs "enabled" file When writing invalid input to 'debug/kprobes/enabled' it'll silently be ignored. Even worse, when writing an empty string to this file, the outcome is purely random as the switch statement will make its decision based on the value of an uninitialized stack variable. Fix this by handling invalid/empty input as error returning -EINVAL. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Cc: Anil S Keshavamurthy Cc: "David S.
