Steven Rostedt (Google) 780f69a268 tracing: Check field value in hist_field_name()
commit 9f116f76fa upstream.

The function hist_field_name() cannot handle being passed a NULL field
parameter. It should never be NULL, but due to a previous bug, NULL was
passed to the function and the kernel crashed due to a NULL dereference.
Mark Rutland reported this to me on IRC.

The bug was fixed, but to prevent future bugs from crashing the kernel,
check the field and add a WARN_ON() if it is NULL.
