[076/129] tracing: t_start: reset FTRACE_ITER_HASH in case of seek/pread

[Greg KH]

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Chris Wright <chrisw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit df09162550fbb53354f0c88e85b5d0e6129ee9cc upstream.

Be sure to avoid entering t_show() with FTRACE_ITER_HASH set without
having properly started the iterator to iterate the hash.  This case is
degenerate and, as discovered by Robert Swiecki, can cause t_hash_show()
to misuse a pointer.  This causes a NULL ptr deref with possible security
implications.  Tracked as CVE-2010-3079.
