Martin Kaiser 4ade59d68a maple_tree: fix tracepoint string pointers 
commit 91a5409002 upstream.

maple_tree tracepoints contain pointers to function names. Such a pointer
is saved when a tracepoint logs an event. There's no guarantee that it's
still valid when the event is parsed later and the pointer is dereferenced.

The kernel warns about these unsafe pointers.

	event 'ma_read' has unsafe pointer field 'fn'
	WARNING: kernel/trace/trace.c:3779 at ignore_event+0x1da/0x1e4

Mark the function names as tracepoint_string() to fix the events.

One case that doesn't work without my patch would be trace-cmd record
to save the binary ringbuffer and trace-cmd report to parse it in
userspace.  The address of __func__ can't be dereferenced from
userspace but tracepoint_string will add an entry to
/sys/kernel/tracing/printk_formats

README 

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 reStructuredText 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.
