[GIT PULL] tracing: More fixes for 7.0

[Steven Rostedt]

Linus,

tracing fixes for 7.0:

- Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in trace_data_alloc()

  On the error path in trace_data_alloc(), it can call trigger_data_free()
  with a NULL pointer. This use 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 where as:

    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.
