commit f31500b0d437a2464ca5972d8f5439e156b74960 upstream.
Use the __string() machinery provided by the tracing subystem to make a
copy of the string literals consumed by the "nested VM-Enter failed"
tracepoint. A complete copy is necessary to ensure that the tracepoint
can't outlive the data/memory it consumes and deference stale memory.
Because the tracepoint itself is defined by kvm, if kvm-intel and/or
kvm-amd are built as modules, the memory holding the string literals
defined by the vendor modules will be freed when the module is unloaded,
whereas the tracepoint and its data in the ring buffer will live until
kvm is unloaded (or "indefinitely" if kvm is built-in).
This bug has existed since the tracepoint was added, but was recently
exposed by a new check in tracing to detect exactly this type of bug.
