[PATCH 0/2] [GIT PULL] tracing: Fix event null strings and function graph with modules

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

This includes two fixes.

1) is a bug fix that happens when root does the following:

  echo function_graph > current_tracer
  modprobe foo
  echo nop > current_tracer

This causes the ftrace internal accounting to get screwed up and
crashes ftrace, preventing the user from using the function tracer
after that.

2) if a TRACE_EVENT has a string field, and NULL is given for it.

The internal trace event code does a strlen() and strcpy() on the
source of field. If it is NULL it causes the system to oops.

This bug has been there since 2.6.31, but no TRACE_EVENT ever passed
in a NULL to the string field, until now.
