[RFC PATCH 1/2] bpf: Fix bpf_trace_printk on 32-bit architectures

[James Hogan]

bpf_trace_printk() uses conditional operators to attempt to pass
different types to __trace_printk() depending on the format operators.
This doesn't work as intended on 32-bit architectures where u32 & long
are passed differently to u64, since the result of C conditional
operators follows the "usual arithmetic conversions" rules, such that
the values passed to __trace_printk() will always be u64.

For example the samples/bpf/tracex5 test printed lines like below on
MIPS, where the fd and buf have come from the u64 fd argument, and the
size from the buf argument:
  dd-1176  [000] ....  1180.941542: 0x00000001: write(fd=1, buf=  (null), size=6258688)

Instead of this:
  dd-1217  [000] ....  1625.616026: 0x00000001: write(fd=1, buf=009e4000, size=512)

Work around this with an ugly hack which expands each combination of
argument types for the 3 arguments. On 64-bit kernels it is assumed that
u32, long & u64 are all passed the same way so no casting takes place
(it has apparently worked implicitly until now). On 32-bit kernels it is
assumed that long and u32 pass the same way so there are 8 combinations.

On 32-bit kernels bpf_trace_printk() increases in size but should now
work correctly. On 64-bit kernels it actually reduces in size slightly,
I presume due to removal of some of the casts (which as far as I can
tell are unnecessary for printk anyway due to the controlled nature of
the interpretation):

arch   function                              old     new   delta
x86_64 bpf_trace_printk                      532     412    -120
x86    bpf_trace_printk                      676    1120    +444
MIPS64 bpf_trace_printk                      760     612    -148
MIPS32 bpf_trace_printk                      768     996    +228

I'm open to nicer ways of fixing this.

This is tested with samples/bpf/tracex5 on MIPS32 and MIPS64. Only build
tested on x86.
