While debugging another issue i noticed that the stack trace output contains the number of entries on top: <idle>-0 [000] d..4. 203.322502: wake_lat: pid=0 delta=2268270616 stack=STACK: => 0x10 => __schedule+0xac6/0x1a98 => schedule+0x126/0x2c0 => schedule_timeout+0x242/0x2c0 => __wait_for_common+0x434/0x680 => __wait_rcu_gp+0x198/0x3e0 => synchronize_rcu+0x112/0x138 => ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus+0x140/0x2e0 => tracing_reset_online_cpus+0x15c/0x1d0 => tracing_set_clock+0x180/0x1d8 => hist_register_trigger+0x486/0x670 => event_hist_trigger_parse+0x494/0x1318 => trigger_process_regex+0x1d4/0x258 => event_trigger_write+0xb4/0x170 => vfs_write+0x210/0xad0 => ksys_write+0x122/0x208 Fix this by skipping the first element. Also replace the pointer logic with an index variable which is easier to read.
