Linus Torvalds 23859ae444 Fix synthetic event "strcat" overrun
New synthetic event code used strcat() and miscalculated the ending, causing
 the concatenation to write beyond the allocated memory.
 
 Instead of using strncat(), the code is switched over to seq_buf which has
 all the mechanisms in place to protect against writing more than what is
 allocated, and cleans up the code a bit.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
