[PATCH] tracing: Fix allocation of last_cmd in last_cmd_set()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Mon Feb 14 2022 - 13:47:24 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The strncat() used in last_cmd_set() includes the nul byte of length of
the string being copied in, when it should only hold the size of the
string being copied (not the nul byte). Change it to subtract the length
of the allocated space and the nul byte to pass that into the strncat().

Also, assign "len" instead of initializing it to zero and its first update
is to do a "+=".
