I did the below, but didn't try very hard - it's probably wrong if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE=n? Anyway, please take a look at all the bpf_trace.c changes in linux-next. From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: bpf:bpf_seq_printf(): handle potentially unsafe format string better User the proper helper for kernel or userspace addresses based on TASK_SIZE instead of the dangerous strncpy_from_unsafe function.
