Al Viro reported:
For substring - sure, but what about something like "*a*b" and "a*b"?
AFAICS, filter_parse_regex() ends up with identical results in both
cases - MATCH_GLOB and *search = "a*b". And no way for the caller
to tell one from another.
Testing this with the following:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo '*raw*lock' > set_ftrace_filter
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
With this patch:
# echo '*raw*lock' > set_ftrace_filter
# cat set_ftrace_filter
_raw_read_trylock
_raw_write_trylock
_raw_read_unlock
_raw_spin_unlock
_raw_write_unlock
_raw_spin_trylock
_raw_spin_lock
_raw_write_lock
_raw_read_lock
Al recommended not setting the search buffer to skip the first '*' unless we
know we are not using MATCH_GLOB. This implements his suggested logic.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
