This is v2 of the previous sythetic event error fix patchset. This version drops the original ([PATCH 1/4] tracing: Make trace_*_run_command() more flexible) and (tracing: Use new trace_run_command() options) patches and replaces them with Masami's patch (tracing/dynevent: Delegate parsing to create function) [1]. The new version adds in all the synthetic event changes needed to compile and use the new interface.
A new patch was also added (selftests/ftrace: Add synthetic event field separators) that fixes more invalid synthetic event syntax I found while testing. I also added some more new checks to the synthetic event sytax error testcase. As before, I didn't see any problems running the entire ftrace testsuite or the test modules that also use the things that were touched here.

It turns out that most of the problems boil down to clunky separator parsing; adding a couple new abilities to trace_run_command() and then adapting the existing users seemed to me the best way to fix these things, and also gets rid of some code. Also, to make things easier for error display, I changed these to preserve the original command string and pass it through the callback instead of rebuilding it for error display. I added some new error strings and removed unused ones as well, and added a bunch of new test cases to the synthetic parser error test case. I didn't see any problems running the entire ftrace testsuite or the test modules that also use the things that were touched here.
