From: "Daniel T. Lee" <danieltim...@gmail.com> [ Upstream commit d59dd69d5576d699d7d3f5da0b4738c3a36d0133 ]
When NULL pointer accidentally passed to write_kprobe_events, due to strlen(NULL), segmentation fault happens. Changed code returns -1 to deal with this situation. Bug issued with Smatch, static analysis. Signed-off-by: Daniel T.
