[PATCH 2/2] tracing: Check keys for variable references in expressions too
From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Thu Nov 08 2018 - 09:42:01 EST
From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
There's an existing check for variable references in keys, but it
doesn't go far enough. It checks whether a key field is a variable
reference but doesn't check whether it's an expression containing
variable references, which can cause the same problems for callers.
Use the existing field_has_hist_vars() function rather than a direct
top-level flag check to catch all possible variable references.
