The TP_STRUCT__entry that gets assigned the region name, or an
empty string if no region is present, is erroneously initialized
to the cxl_region pointer. It needs to be properly initialized
otherwise it's length is wrong and garbage chars can appear in
the kernel trace output: /sys/kernel/tracing/trace
The bad initialization was due in part to a naming conflict with
the parameter: struct cxl_region *region. The field 'region' is
already exposed externally as the region name, so changing that
to something logical, like 'region_name' is not an option. Instead
rename the internal only struct cxl_region to the commonly used
'cxlr'.
Impact is that tooling depending on that trace data can miss
picking up a valid event when searching by region name. The
TP_printk() output, if enabled, does emit the correct region
names in the dmesg log.
This was found during testing of the cxl-list option to report
media-errors for a region.

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.
