[PATCH] selftests/ftrace: Fix BAD_TP_NAME marker in fprobe_syntax_errors
From: Cao Ruichuang
Date: Tue Apr 07 2026 - 08:12:47 EST
The BAD_TP_NAME check currently expects the error marker for
`t kmem/kfree` to point at the slash. Current kernels report
this parse error at the start of the invalid tracepoint name,
so the selftest fails even though the input is still rejected.
Move the caret to match the reported error position.
