Steven Rostedt (Google) 39483fd3b2 tracing: Have trace event string test handle zero length strings
commit eca344a736 upstream.

If a trace event has in its TP_printk():

 "%*.s", len, len ? __get_str(string) : NULL

It is perfectly valid if len is zero and passing in the NULL.
Unfortunately, the runtime string check at time of reading the trace sees
the NULL and flags it as a bad string and produces a WARN_ON().

Handle this case by passing into the test function if the format has an
asterisk (star) and if so, if the length is zero, then mark it as safe.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
