[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 02/21] samples, bpf: fix to change the buffer size for read()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Chang-Hsien Tsai <luke.tw@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f7c2d64bac1be2ff32f8e4f500c6e5429c1003e0 ]

If the trace for read is larger than 4096, the return
value sz will be 4096. This results in off-by-one error
on buf:

    static char buf[4096];
    ssize_t sz;

    sz = read(trace_fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
    if (sz > 0) {
        buf[sz] = 0;
        puts(buf);
    }
