From f7ab9dee220041a3c053c022b0c13b3e905de96e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2023 15:10:33 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Have the user copy of synthetic event address use correct context commit 4f7969bcd6d33042d62e249b41b5578161e4c868 upstream. A synthetic event is created by the synthetic event interface that can read both user or kernel address memory. In reality, it reads any arbitrary memory location from within the kernel. If the address space is in USER (where CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE is set) then it uses strncpy_from_user_nofault() to copy strings otherwise it uses strncpy_from_kernel_nofault(). But since both functions use the same variable there's no annotation to what that variable is (ie. __user). This makes sparse complain. Quiet sparse by typecasting the strncpy_from_user_nofault() variable to a __user pointer.
