FYI, I took this patch but changed the subject and description to this:

From: Slavomir Kaslev <kaslevs@vmware.com>
Subject: [PATCH] trace-cmd: Do not use target string pointer as parameter to
 sprintf()

Compiling trace-cmd with gcc 8.2 reports:

    trace-read.c: In function ‘append_pid_filter’:
    trace-read.c:414:3: warning: passing argument 1 to restrict-qualified parameter aliases with argument 3 [-Wrestrict]
       sprintf(filter, "%s||" FILTER_FMT, filter, pid, pid, pid);
       ^~~~~~~

since `snprintf` declares its first argument as __restrict but `buf` is also
passed as argument #5.

The code just concatenates to the filter string. Use the original string
length as the position to write to filter.
