[ Upstream commit 50a3242d84ee1625b0bfef29b95f935958dccfbe ] When the tp_printk kernel command line is used, the trace events go directly to printk(). It is still checked via the trace_check_vprintf() function to make sure the pointers of the trace event are legit. The addition of reading buffers from previous boots required adding a delta between the addresses of the previous boot and the current boot so that the pointers in the old buffer can still be used. But this required adding a trace_array pointer to acquire the delta offsets. The tp_printk code does not provide a trace_array (tr) pointer, so when the offsets were examined, a NULL pointer dereference happened and the kernel crashed. If the trace_array does not exist, just default the delta offsets to zero, as that also means the trace event is not being read from a previous boot.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
