<br />
We can reproduce the warning by following the steps below:<br />
1. echo 8 >> set_event_notrace_pid. Let tr->filtered_pids owns one pid<br />
and register sched_switch tracepoint.<br />
2. echo &#39; &#39; >> set_event_pid, and perform fault injection during chunk<br />
allocation of trace_pid_list_alloc. Let pid_list with no pid and<br />
assign to tr->filtered_pids.<br />
3. echo &#39; &#39; >> set_event_pid. Let pid_list is NULL and assign to<br />
tr->filtered_pids.<br />
4. echo 9 >> set_event_pid, will trigger the double register<br />
sched_switch tracepoint warning.<br />
<br />
The reason is that syzkaller injects a fault into the chunk allocation<br />
in trace_pid_list_alloc, causing a failure in trace_pid_list_set, which<br />
may trigger double register of the same tracepoint. This only occurs<br />
when the system is about to crash, but to suppress this warning, let&#39;s<br />
add failure handling logic to trace_pid_list_set.
