[PATCH] rcu: Fix buffer overlow in print_cpu_stall_info()

From: Nikita Kiryushin
Date: Thu Mar 28 2024 - 14:19:59 EST


rcuc info output in print_cpu_stall_info() contains
posiible 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 (which can be a bad format, if the values
are huge).

Change sprintf to snprintf and change %ld to %lu in format.

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