It returns whether or not the string is safe. But it can have some\nfalse positives.\n\nFor instance, xe_bo_move() has:\n\n TP_printk(\"move_lacks_source:%s, migrate object %p [size %zu] from %s to %s device_id:%s\",\n __entry->move_lacks_source ? \"yes\" : \"no\", __entry->bo, __entry->size,\n xe_mem_type_to_name[__entry->old_placement],\n xe_mem_type_to_name[__entry->new_placement], __get_str(device_id))\n\nWhere the \"%s\" references into xe_mem_type_to_name[]. This is an array of\npointers that should be safe for the event to access. Instead of flagging\nthis as a bad reference, if a reference points to an array, where the\nrecord field is the index, consider it safe." } ], "metrics": {}, "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3bcdc9039a6e9e6e47ed689a37b8d57894a3c571", "source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/631b1e09e213c86d5a4ce23d45c81af473bb0ac7", "source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/92bd18c74624e5eb9f96e70076aa46293f4b626f", "source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a64e5295ebc4afdefe69cdf16cc286a60ff8ba4b", "source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/afc6717628f959941d7b33728570568b4af1c4b8", "source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67" } ] }
