Thanks for your test. I forgot to test normal case and thought the err is expected...

This time I dived into kernel side, and found 3 issues (if I am all right) at the
kernel function trace_get_user(). This function has problems to process both complete
C string or not.

I will send the kernel patches and Cc you guys. And I still think it is better
let perf write a complete C string.

Thanks!
