rcuc info output in print_cpu_stall_info() contains posiible buffer overflow in the case of huge jiffies difference. The situation seems improbable, but, buffer overflow, still. Also, unsigned jiffies difference printed as (signed) %ld (which can be a bad format, if the values are huge). Change sprintf to snprintf and change %ld to %lu in format. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
