[ Upstream commit dcc4e5728eeaeda84878ca0018758cff1abfca21 ] Solve two ergonomic issues with struct seq_buf; 1) Too much boilerplate is required to initialize: struct seq_buf s; char buf[32]; seq_buf_init(s, buf, sizeof(buf)); Instead, we can build this directly on the stack. Provide DECLARE_SEQ_BUF() macro to do this: DECLARE_SEQ_BUF(s, 32); 2) %NUL termination is fragile and requires 2 steps to get a valid C String (and is a layering violation exposing the "internals" of seq_buf): seq_buf_terminate(s); do_something(s->buffer); Instead, we can just return s->buffer directly after terminating it in the refactored seq_buf_terminate(), now known as seq_buf_str(): do_something(seq_buf_str(s)); Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231027155634.make.260-kees@kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231026194033.it.702-kees@kernel.org/ Cc: Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@google.com> Cc: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com> Cc: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev> Cc: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Cc: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> Cc: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Yun Zhou <yun.zhou@windriver.com> Cc: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Cc: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Stable-dep-of: afd2627f727b ("tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk format") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
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.
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.
