CVE-2026-99233

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tracing/histograms: Verify event_call identity when updating synth_event refcount

In event_hist_trigger_parse() and hist_unreg_all(), the histogram
registration and unregistration paths look up find_synth_event() using
trace_event_name(file->event_call) and adjust se->ref if a match is
found.

Because find_synth_event() only compares the event basename, registering
or removing a histogram on a non-synthetic trace event whose basename
matches a synthetic event erroneously modifies the synthetic event's
reference count.  If a histogram is registered on the non-synthetic
event before the synthetic event is created and removed afterwards,
se->ref is decremented without a matching increment, allowing the
synthetic event to be freed while an active histogram action still holds
a pointer to it.

Introduce find_synth_event_call() to verify that &se->call matches
file->event_call before adjusting se->ref.
