Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Prevent trace_marker being bigger than unsigned
 short

The trace_marker write goes into the ring buffer. A test was added to
write a string as big as the sub-buffer of the ring buffer to see if it
would work. A sub-buffer is typically PAGE_SIZE in length.

On PowerPC architecture, the ftrace selftest for trace_marker started to
fail. This was due to PowerPC having a PAGE_SIZE of 65536 and not 4096. It
would try to write a string that was around 63000 bytes in size. This gave
the following warning:

The problem was that in trace_print_print() that reads the trace_marker
write data had the following code:

	int max = iter->ent_size - offsetof(struct print_entry, buf);

	[..]
	trace_seq_printf(s, ": %.*s", max, field->buf);

Where "max" was the size of the entry. Now that the write to trace_marker
can be as big as what the sub-buffer can hold, and the sub-buffer for
powerpc is 64K in size, the "max" value was: 63492, and that was passed to
trace_seq_printf() which eventually calls vsnprintf() with the same format
and parameters.

The max "precision" that "%.*s" can be is max signed short (32767) where
63492 happens to be greater than.

Prevent the max size written by trace_marker to be greater than what a
signed short can hold.
