vsprintf: Do not have bprintf dereference pointers
When trace_printk() was introduced, it was discussed that making it be as low overhead as possible, that the processing of the format string should be delayed until it is read. That is, a "trace_printk()" should not convert the %d into numbers and so on, but instead, save the fmt string and all the args in the buffer at the time of recording. When the trace_printk() data is read, it would then parse the format string and do the conversions of the saved arguments in the tracing buffer. The code to perform this was added to vsprintf where vbin_printf() would save the arguments of a specified format string in a buffer, then bstr_printf() could be used to convert the buffer with the same format string into the final output, as if vsprintf() was called in one go. The issue arises when dereferenced pointers are used. The problem is that something like %*pbl which reads a bitmask, will save the pointer to the bitmask in the buffer. Then the reading of the buffer via bstr_printf() will then look at the pointer to process the final output. Obviously the value of that pointer could have changed since the time it was recorded to the time the buffer is read. Worse yet, the bitmask could be unmapped, and the reading of the trace buffer could actually cause a kernel oops. Another problem is that user space tools such as perf and trace-cmd do not have access to the contents of these pointers, and they become useless when the tracing buffer is extracted. Instead of having vbin_printf() simply save the pointer in the buffer for later processing, have it perform the formatting at the time bin_printf() is called. This will fix the issue of dereferencing pointers at a later time, and has the extra benefit of having user space tools understand these values. Since perf and trace-cmd already can handle %p[sSfF] via saving kallsyms, their pointers are saved and not processed during vbin_printf(). If they were converted, it would break perf and trace-cmd, as they would not know how to deal with the conversion.
