Test cases which use echo to write strings containing backslashes
fail with some shells, as echo's treatment of backslashes in
strings varies between shell implementations. Use printf instead,
as it should behave consistently across different shells. This
requires adjustments to the strings to escape \ and % characters.
ftrace_errlog_check() must also re-escape these characters after
processing them to remove ^ characters.

Ping. Someone just asked me about this patch, and I noticed that it
hasn't been applied or received any feedback.
I pulled in this patch from Masami:
selftests/ftrace: Use printf for backslash included command
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest.git/commit/?h=next&id=8e923a2168afd221ea26e3d9716f21e9578b5c4d
Looks like a duplicate.
Seth,
Is your patch still needed?
+ Steve and Masami
thanks,
