[PATCH v2] tracing: Add test for user space strings when filtering on string pointers

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Pingfan reported that the following causes a fault:

  echo "filename ~ \"cpu\"" > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
  echo 1 > events/syscalls/sys_enter_at/enable

The reason is that trace event filter treats the user space pointer
defined by "filename" as a normal pointer to compare against the "cpu"
string. If the string is not loaded into memory yet, it will trigger a
fault in kernel space:

To be even more robust, test both kernel and user space strings. If the
string fails to read, then simply have the filter fail.

Changes since v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220107225840.003487216@goodmis.org

  - Up the size of temp buffer from 512 to 1024
    Still less than PATH_MAX, but should be good enough in real systems.
    If this is an issue, then we can add a way for users to updated it.

  - Add documentation about the limit of comparing to string pointers.

  - Add typecast from str to ustr to denote adding "__user"

  - Allocate buffer only when comparing with string pointers.

  - Only do the test on string pointers and not all string compares.

+5.2.1 Filter limitations
+------------------------
+
+If a filter is placed on a string pointer ``(char *)`` that does not point
+to a string on the ring buffer, but instead points to kernel or user space
+memory, then, for safety reasons, at most 1024 bytes of the content is
+copied onto a temporary buffer to do the compare. If the copy of the memory
+faults (the pointer points to memory that should not be accessed), then the
+string compare will be treated as not matching.
