Re: [PATCH] tracing: check the return value of kstrdup()

Note: Compare with the last email, this one is using my full name.
And I am sorry that yesterday I did not notice the bugs in trace_boot.c had been
already patched.
kstrdup() returns NULL when some internal memory errors happen, it is
better to check the return value of it.

Can you please resend this as a normal patch, and not a reply to this email
thread.

Thank you,
