workqueue/tracing: Copy workqueue name to buffer in trace event
The trace event "workqueue_queue_work" references an unsafe string in dereferencing the name of the workqueue. As the name is allocated, it could later be freed, and the pointer to that string could stay on the tracing buffer. If the trace buffer is read after the string is freed, it will reference an unsafe pointer. I added a new verifier to make sure that all strings referenced in the output of the trace buffer is safe to read and this triggered on the workqueue_queue_work trace event: workqueue_queue_work: work struct=00000000b2b235c7 function=gc_worker workqueue=(0xffff888100051160:events_power_efficient)[UNSAFE-MEMORY] req_cpu=256 cpu=1 workqueue_queue_work: work struct=00000000c344caec function=flush_to_ldisc workqueue=(0xffff888100054d60:events_unbound)[UNSAFE-MEMORY] req_cpu=256 cpu=4294967295 workqueue_queue_work: work struct=00000000b2b235c7 function=gc_worker workqueue=(0xffff888100051160:events_power_efficient)[UNSAFE-MEMORY] re...
