Hi,
There are 3 points about this bug:
1) The onmax_destroy() destroyed the onmax var, casusing a double-free error flagged by KASAN.
This is tested via "./ftracetest test.d/trigger/inter-event/trigger-onmatch-onmax-action-hist.tc".

2) So remove the onmax_destroy() destroy_hist_field() call for that var.
just like this demo patch: diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c b/kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c index 7dcb96305e56..58b8a2575b8c 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c @@ -3489,7 +3488,6 @@ static void onmax_destroy(struct action_data *data) unsigned int i;
