6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Steven Rostedt rostedt@goodmis.org
commit 65a25d9f7ac02e0cf361356e834d1c71d36acca9 upstream.
The test_event_printk() code makes sure that when a trace event is registered, any dereferenced pointers in from the event's TP_printk() are pointing to content in the ring buffer. But currently it does not handle "%s", as there's cases where the string pointer saved in the ring buffer points to a static string in the kernel that will never be freed. As that is a valid case, the pointer needs to be checked at runtime.
Currently the runtime check is done via trace_check_vprintf(), but to not have to replicate everything in vsnprintf() it does some logic with the va_list that may not be reliable across architectures. In order to get rid of that logic, more work in the test_event_printk() needs to be done. Some of the strings can be validated at this time when it is obvious the string is valid because the string will be saved in the ring buffer content.
Do all the validation of strings in the ring buffer at boot in test_event_printk(), and make sure that the field of the strings that point into the kernel are accessible. This will allow adding checks at runtime that will validate the fields themselves and not rely on paring the TP_printk() format at runtime.
