Linus Torvalds e77a6817d4 tracing: Fix buffer overflow in trace event filter
It was reported that if an trace event was larger than a page
 and was filtered, that it caused memory corruption. The reason
 is that filtered events first go into a buffer to test the filter
 before being written into the ring buffer. Unfortunately,
 this write did not check the size.

README

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.
