values that came after a dereference pointer. trace_printk() utilizes vbin_printf() and bstr_printf() to keep the overhead of tracing down. vbin_printf() does not do any conversions and just stors the string format and the raw arguments into the buffer. bstr_printf() is used to read the buffer and does the conversions to complete the printf() output. This can be troublesome with dereferenced pointers because the reference may be different from the time vbin_printf() is called to the time bstr_printf() is called. To fix this, a prior commit changed vbin_printf() to convert dereferenced pointers into strings and load the converted string into the buffer. But the change to bstr_printf() had an off-by-one error and didn't account for the nul character at the end of the string and this corrupted the rest of the values in the format that came after a dereferenced pointer. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCW737iRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qnraAQDVbp0aWOpS73YUVbW/bArC8t8Z6/9h bXLeCdSSa1BHswD+K+kj7NiVrxIzyXrotb40JoscLsaXSIEJjlNFHQKqxQQ= =4BpJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v4.19-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Steven writes: "vsprint fix: It was reported that trace_printk() was not reporting properly values that came after a dereference pointer. trace_printk() utilizes vbin_printf() and bstr_printf() to keep the overhead of tracing down. vbin_printf() does not do any conversions and just stors the string format and the raw arguments into the buffer. bstr_printf() is used to read the buffer and does the conversions to complete the printf() output.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
