mainlining shenanigans

James reported that on MIPS32 bpf_trace_printk() is currently
broken while MIPS64 works fine:
bpf_trace_printk() uses conditional operators to attempt to
pass different types to __trace_printk() depending on the
format operators. This doesn't work as intended on 32-bit
architectures where u32 and long are passed differently to
u64, since the result of C conditional operators follows the
"usual arithmetic conversions" rules, such that the values
passed to __trace_printk() will always be u64 [causing issues
later in the va_list handling for vscnprintf()].
For example the samples/bpf/tracex5 test printed lines like
below on MIPS32, where the fd and buf have come from the u64
fd argument, and the size from the buf argument:
[...] 1180.941542: 0x00000001: write(fd=1, buf= (null), size=6258688)
Instead of this:
[...] 1625.616026: 0x00000001: write(fd=1, buf=009e4000, size=512)
One way to get it working is to expand various combinations
of argument types into 8 different combinations for 32 bit
and 64 bit kernels. Fix tested by James on MIPS32 and MIPS64
as well that it resolves the issue.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
