Subject[BUGFIX PATCH -tip 3/5] perf probe: Fix event namelist to duplicate string
Date
Fix event namelist to duplicate string. Without duplicating,
adding multiple probes causes stack overwrite bug, because
it reuses a buffer on stack while the buffer is already
added in the namelist. String duplication solves this bug
because only contents of the buffer is copied to the namelist.
