Linus Torvalds aed0af05a8 Merge tag 'trace-v7.0-rc2-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in trace_data_alloc()

   On the trace_data_alloc() error path, it can call trigger_data_free()
   with a NULL pointer. This used to be a kfree() but was changed to
   trigger_data_free() to clean up any partial initialization. The issue
   is that trigger_data_free() does not expect a NULL pointer. Have
   trigger_data_free() return safely on NULL pointer.

 - Fix multiple events on the command line and bootconfig

   If multiple events are enabled on the command line separately and not
   grouped, only the last event gets enabled. That is:

      trace_event=sched_switch trace_event=sched_waking

   will only enable sched_waking whereas:

      trace_event=sched_switch,sched_waking

   will enable both.

   The bootconfig makes it even worse as the second way is the more
   common method.

   The issue is that a temporary buffer is used to store the events to
   enable later in boot. Each time the cmdline callback is called, it
   overwrites what was previously there.

   Have the callback append the next value (delimited by a comma) if the
   temporary buffer already has content.

 - Fix command line trace_buffer_size if >= 2G

   The logic to allocate the trace buffer uses "int" for the size
   parameter in the command line code causing overflow issues if more
   that 2G is specified.
