[PATCH v3] perf trace: avoid garbage when not printing a trace event's arguments
From: Benjamin Peterson
Date: Sun Nov 03 2024 - 15:48:48 EST
trace__fprintf_tp_fields may not print any tracepoint arguments. E.g., if the
argument values are all zero. Previously, this would result in a totally
uninitialized buffer being passed to fprintf, which could lead to garbage on the
console. Fix the problem by passing the number of initialized bytes fprintf.
Fixes: f11b2803bb88 ("perf trace: Allow choosing how to augment the tracepoint arguments")
