tracing: Fix parsing of globs with a wildcard at the beginning
Al Viro reported: For substring - sure, but what about something like "*a*b" and "a*b"? AFAICS, filter_parse_regex() ends up with identical results in both cases - MATCH_GLOB and *search = "a*b". And no way for the caller to tell one from another. Testing this with the following: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo '*raw*lock' > set_ftrace_filter bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument With this patch: # echo '*raw*lock' > set_ftrace_filter # cat set_ftrace_filter _raw_read_trylock _raw_write_trylock _raw_read_unlock _raw_spin_unlock _raw_write_unlock _raw_spin_trylock _raw_spin_lock _raw_write_lock _raw_read_lock Al recommended not setting the search buffer to skip the first '*' unless we know we are not using MATCH_GLOB. This implements his suggested logic.
