Merge tag 'trace-user-events-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing user-event updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Minor update to the user_events interface

  The ABI of creating a user event states that the fields are separated
  by semicolons, and spaces should be ignored.

  But the parsing expected at least one space to be there (which was
  incorrect). Fix the reading of the string to handle fields separated
  by semicolons but no space between them.

  This does extend the API sightly as now "field;field" will now be
  parsed and not cause an error. But it should not cause any regressions
  as no logic should expect it to fail.

  Note, that the logic that parses the event fields to create the
  trace_event works with no spaces after the semi-colon. It is
  the logic that tests against existing events that is inconsistent.
  This causes registering an event without using spaces to succeed
  if it doesn't exist, but makes the same call that tries to register
  to the same event, but doesn't use spaces, fail.

* tag 'trace-user-events-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:
  selftests/user_events: Add non-spacing separator check
