From 84fce9db4d7eaebd6cb2ee30c15da6d4e4daf846 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joonsoo Kim Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 13:44:44 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix incorrect enabling of trace events by boot cmdline There is a problem that trace events are not properly enabled with boot cmdline. The problem is that if we pass "trace_event=kmem:mm_page_alloc" to the boot cmdline, it enables all kmem trace events, and not just the page_alloc event. This is caused by the parsing mechanism. When we parse the cmdline, the buffer contents is modified due to tokenization. And, if we use this buffer again, we will get the wrong result. Unfortunately, this buffer is be accessed three times to set trace events properly at boot time. So, we need to handle this situation. There is already code handling ",", but we need another for ":". This patch adds it.
