tracing: Detect the string nul character when parsing user input string
User space can pass in a C nul character '\0' along with its input. The function trace_get_user() will try to process it as a normal character, and that will fail to parse. open("/sys/kernel/debug/tracing//set_ftrace_pid", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC) = 3 write(3, " \0", 2) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) while parse can handle spaces, so below works. $ echo "" > set_ftrace_pid $ echo " " > set_ftrace_pid $ echo -n " " > set_ftrace_pid Have the parser stop on '\0' and cease any further parsing. Only process the characters up to the nul '\0' character and do not process it.
