[GIT PULL] tracing: Fix trace event check for 6.13

[Steven Rostedt]

Linus,

Tracing fix for 6.13:

- Fix trace event string check when dealing with array of strings

  The xe_bo_move event has a field that indexes into an array of
  strings. The TP_fast_assign() added the index into the ring buffer
  and the TP_printk() had a "%s" that referenced the array using the
  index in the ring buffer. This is a legitimate use of "%s" in
  trace events. But this triggered a false positive in the
  test_event_printk() at boot saying that the string was dangerous.

  Change the check to allow arrays using fields in the ring buffer
  as an index to be considered a safe string.

    tracing: Have process_string() also allow arrays
    
    In order to catch a common bug where a TRACE_EVENT() TP_fast_assign()
    assigns an address of an allocated string to the ring buffer and then
    references it in TP_printk(), which can be executed hours later when the
    string is free, the function test_event_printk() runs on all events as
    they are registered to make sure there's no unwanted dereferencing.
    
    It calls process_string() to handle cases in TP_printk() format that has
    "%s". It returns whether or not the string is safe. But it can have some
    false positives.
    
    For instance, xe_bo_move() has:
    
     TP_printk("move_lacks_source:%s, migrate object %p [size %zu] from %s to %s device_id:%s",
                __entry->move_lacks_source ? "yes" : "no", __entry->bo, __entry->size,
                xe_mem_type_to_name[__entry->old_placement],
                xe_mem_type_to_name[__entry->new_placement], __get_str(device_id))
    
    Where the "%s" references into xe_mem_type_to_name[]. This is an array of
    pointers that should be safe for the event to access. Instead of flagging
    this as a bad reference, if a reference points to an array, where the
    record field is the index, consider it safe.
