This probably not right.
The pointer stored at args[fmt_cnt] is a kernel pointer,
but it could be an invalid address and we do not want to fault.
Not sure whether it exists or not, we should use
strncpy_from_kernel_nofault()?
If you know it is a kernel pointer with this series it should be
strncpy_from_kernel_nofault. But even before the series it should have
been strncpy_from_unsafe_strict.
The use of strncpy_from_unsafe() mimics old bpf_trace_printk()
implementation which just changed to _strict version:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/18/1309
Agreed that we should change to strncpy_from_unsafe_strict().
I can submit a patch for this.
Thanks!
