The filter string testing uses strncpy_from_kernel/user_nofault() to
retrieve the string to test the filter against. The if() statement was
incorrect as it considered 0 as a fault, when it is only negative that it
faulted.
Running the following commands:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo "filename.ustring ~ \"/proc*\"" > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
# echo 1 > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/enable
# ls /proc/$$/maps
# cat trace
Would produce nothing, but with the fix it will produce something like:
ls-1192 [007] ..... 8169.828333: sys_openat(dfd: ffffffffffffff9c, filename: 7efc18359904, flags: 80000, mode: 0)
