Linus Torvalds 8ae516aa8b This includes two fixes.

1) is a bug fix that happens when root does the following:
 
   echo function_graph > current_tracer
   modprobe foo
   echo nop > current_tracer
 
 This causes the ftrace internal accounting to get screwed up and
 crashes ftrace, preventing the user from using the function tracer
 after that.
 
 2) if a TRACE_EVENT has a string field, and NULL is given for it.
 
 The internal trace event code does a strlen() and strcpy() on the
 source of field. If it is NULL it causes the system to oops.
 
 This bug has been there since 2.6.31, but no TRACE_EVENT ever passed
 in a NULL to the string field, until now.
