Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 3/4] tracing: Fix event trigger to accept redundant spaces

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...nel.org>

Fix the event trigger to accept redundant spaces in
the trigger input.

For example, these return -EINVAL

echo " traceon" > events/ftrace/print/trigger
echo "traceon  if common_pid == 0" > events/ftrace/print/trigger
echo "disable_event:kmem:kmalloc " > events/ftrace/print/trigger

But these are hard to find what is wrong.

To fix this issue, use skip_spaces() to remove spaces
in front of actual tokens, and set NULL if there is no
token.
