Subject[PATCH v2] rcu: Fix buffer overlow in print_cpu_stall_info()
Date
rcuc info output in print_cpu_stall_info() contains
possible buffer overflow in the case of huge jiffies
difference. The situation seems improbable, but, buffer
overflow, still.

Also, unsigned jiffies difference printed as (signed)
%ld. This is intentional for debugging purposes, but
it is not obvious from the code.

Change sprintf to snprintf and add clarifying comment
about intention of %ld format.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: 245a62982502 ("rcu: Dump rcuc kthread status for CPUs not reporting quiescent state")

v2: Remove signed to unsigned print format change as
Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> suggested, add format
intention clarification comment
