Merge tag 'trace-fixes-4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "This isn't my 4.2 pull request (yet). I found a few more bugs that I would have sent to fix 4.1, but since 4.1 is already out, I'm sending this before sending my 4.2 request (which is ready to go). After fixing the previous filter issue reported by Vince Weaver, I could not come up with a situation where the operand counter (cnt) could go below zero, so I added a WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt < 0). Vince was able to trigger that warn on with his fuzzer test, but didn't have a filter input that caused it. Later, Sasha Levin was able to trigger that same warning, and was able to give me the filter string that triggered it. It was simply a single operation ">". I wrapped the filtering code in a userspace program such that I could single step through the logic. With a single operator the operand counter can legitimately go below zero, and should be reported to the user as an error, but should not produce a kernel warning. The WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt < 0) should be just a "if (cnt < 0) break;" and the code following it will produce the error message for the user. While debugging this, I found that there was another bug that let the pointer to the filter string go beyond the filter string. This too was fixed. Finally, there was a typo in a stub function that only gets compiled if trace events is disabled but tracing is enabled (I'm not even sure that's possible)" * tag 'trace-fixes-4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Fix typo from "static inlin" to "static inline" tracing/filter: Do not allow infix to exceed end of string tracing/filter: Do not WARN on operand count going below zero
