Subject[PATCH] perf ftrace: Fix the buffer size in __write_tracing_file
Date
From: Changbin Du <changbin.du@intel.com>

The terminal character '\0' should take into account as size of the string
buffer. Without this fix, the '--graph-funcs', '--nograph-funcs' and
'--trace-funcs' options didn't work as expected when the <func> doesn't
exist.

I didn't dive into kernel ftrace fops, but strace shows that if usersapce
writes a non-terminated string, the kernel side will return success but
no filter applied. After this fix in userspace, the kernel will return an
error.

$ sudo ./perf ftrace -a --graph-depth 1 --graph-funcs abcdefg
0) 0.140 us | rcu_all_qs();
3) 0.304 us | mutex_unlock();
0) 0.153 us | find_vma();
3) 0.088 us | __fsnotify_parent();
0) 6.145 us | handle_mm_fault();
3) 0.089 us | fsnotify();
3) 0.161 us | __sb_end_write();
3) 0.710 us | SyS_close();
3) 7.848 us | exit_to_usermode_loop();

On above example, I specified function filter 'abcdefg' but all functions
are enabled.
