When printing multiple uprobe arguments as strings the output for the
earlier arguments would also include all later string arguments.
This is best explained in an example:
Consider adding a uprobe to a function receiving two strings as
parameters which is at offset 0xa0 in strlib.so and we want to print
both parameters when the uprobe is hit (on x86_64):
$ echo 'p:func /lib/strlib.so:0xa0 +0(%di):string +0(%si):string' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
When the function is called as func("foo", "bar") and we hit the probe,
the trace file shows a line like the following:
[...] func: (0x7f7e683706a0) arg1="foobar" arg2="bar"
Note the extra "bar" printed as part of arg1. This behaviour stacks up
for additional string arguments.
The strings are stored in a dynamically growing part of the uprobe
buffer by fetch_store_string() after copying them from userspace via
strncpy_from_user(). The return value of strncpy_from_user() is then
directly used as the required size for the string. However, this does
not take the terminating null byte into account as the documentation
for strncpy_from_user() cleary states that it "[...] returns the
length of the string (not including the trailing NUL)" even though the
null byte will be copied to the destination.
Therefore, subsequent calls to fetch_store_string() will overwrite
the terminating null byte of the most recently fetched string with
the first character of the current string, leading to the
"accumulation" of strings in earlier arguments in the output.
Fix this by incrementing the return value of strncpy_from_user() by
one if we did not hit the maximum buffer size.

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.
