Steven Rostedt (Google) e87cb9dd3f tracing: Remove precision vsnprintf() check from print event 
[ Upstream commit 5efd3e2aef ]

This reverts 60be76eeab ("tracing: Add size check when printing
trace_marker output"). The only reason the precision check was added
was because of a bug that miscalculated the write size of the string into
the ring buffer and it truncated it removing the terminating nul byte. On
reading the trace it crashed the kernel. But this was due to the bug in
the code that happened during development and should never happen in
practice. If anything, the precision can hide bugs where the string in the
ring buffer isn't nul terminated and it will not be checked.

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.
