Andreas Ziegler f6675872db tracing: probeevent: Correctly update remaining space in dynamic area
Commit 9178412ddf ("tracing: probeevent: Return consumed
bytes of dynamic area") improved the string fetching
mechanism by returning the number of required bytes after
copying the argument to the dynamic area. However, this
return value is now only used to increment the pointer
inside the dynamic area but misses updating the 'maxlen'
variable which indicates the remaining space in the dynamic
area.

This means that fetch_store_string() always reads the *total*
size of the dynamic area from the data_loc pointer instead of
the *remaining* size (and passes it along to
strncpy_from_{user,unsafe}) even if we're already about to
copy data into the middle of the dynamic area.

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.
