[PATCH 1/3] tracing: Fix synthetic event to accept unsigned modifier

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Thu Oct 18 2018 - 08:12:01 EST


Fix synthetic event to accept unsigned modifier for its field type
correctly.

Currently, synthetic_events interface returns error for "unsigned"
modifiers as below;

# echo "myevent unsigned long var" >> synthetic_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument

This is because argv_split() breaks "unsigned long" into "unsigned"
and "long", but parse_synth_field() doesn't expected it.

With this fix, synthetic_events can handle the "unsigned long"
correctly like as below;

# echo "myevent unsigned long var" >> synthetic_events
# cat synthetic_events
myevent unsigned long var

Fixes: commit 4b147936fa50 ("tracing: Add support for 'synthetic' events")
