If for some reason the trace_marker write does not have a nul byte for the
string, it will overflow the print:

Does this result in leaking kernel memory to userspace ? If so, it
should state "Fixes..." and CC stable.

Thanks,

trace_seq_printf(s, ": %s", field->buf);

The field->buf could be missing the nul byte. To prevent overflow, add the
max size that the buf can be by using the event size and the field
location.

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

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