Pavel Tikhomirov 690e939da7 tracing: Fix event filters and triggers to handle negative numbers
commit 6a072128d2 upstream.

Then tracing syscall exit event it is extremely useful to filter exit
codes equal to some negative value, to react only to required errors.
But negative numbers does not work:

[root@snorch sys_exit_read]# echo "ret == -1" > filter
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[root@snorch sys_exit_read]# cat filter
ret == -1
        ^
parse_error: Invalid value (did you forget quotes)?

Similar thing happens when setting triggers.

These is a regression in v4.17 introduced by the commit mentioned below,
testing without these commit shows no problem with negative numbers.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
