[PATCH 0/3] tracing/filter: make filter_pred_pchar() survive the access to user space

[Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@gmail.com>]

When
  echo "filename ~ \"cpu\"" > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
  echo 1 > events/syscalls/sys_enter_at/enable
    
The kernel will run into a #PF (see [3/3].
This series resorts to copy_from_user() to cope with the access to user
space.
