#1301723 — [PATCH 0/2] [GIT PULL] tracing: Some minor fixes

Linus,

Two more fixes.

 1. The recordmcount change had an output that used sprintf() (incorrectly)
    when it should have been a fprintf() to stderr.

 2. The printk_formats file could crash if someone added a trace_printk()
    in the core kernel, and also added one in a module. This does not
    affect production kernels. Only kernels where developers add trace_printk()
    for debugging can crash.

#1301724 — [PATCH 2/2] tracing: Fix setting of start_index in find_next()

From: Qiu Peiyang <peiyangx.qiu@intel.com>

When we do cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats, we hit kernel
panic at t_show.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

When the first time find_next calls find_next_mod_format, it should
iterate the trace_bprintk_fmt_list to find the first print format of
the module. However in current code, start_index is smaller than *pos
at first, and code will not iterate the list. Latter container_of will
get the wrong address with former v, which will cause mod_fmt be a
meaningless object and so is the returned mod_fmt->fmt.

This patch will fix it by correcting the start_index. After fixed,
when the first time calls find_next_mod_format, start_index will be
equal to *pos, and code will iterate the trace_bprintk_fmt_list to
get the right module printk format, so is the returned mod_fmt->fmt.
