Steven Rostedt (Google) 534790fde8 tracing: Have the user copy of synthetic event address use correct context
commit 4f7969bcd6 upstream.

A synthetic event is created by the synthetic event interface that can
read both user or kernel address memory. In reality, it reads any
arbitrary memory location from within the kernel. If the address space is
in USER (where CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE is set) then
it uses strncpy_from_user_nofault() to copy strings otherwise it uses
strncpy_from_kernel_nofault().

But since both functions use the same variable there's no annotation to
what that variable is (ie. __user). This makes sparse complain.

Quiet sparse by typecasting the strncpy_from_user_nofault() variable to
a __user pointer.

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.
