In bpf_seq_printf() helper, when user specified a "%s" in the format string, strncpy_from_unsafe() is used to read the actual string to a buffer. The string could be a format string or a string in the kernel data structure. It is really unlikely that the string will reside in the user memory. This is different from Commitb2a5212fb6("bpf: Restrict bpf_trace_printk()'s %s usage and add %pks, %pus specifier") which still used strncpy_from_unsafe() for "%s" to preserve the old behavior. If in the future, bpf_seq_printf() indeed needs to read user memory, we can implement "%pus" format string. Based on discussion in [1], if the intent is to read kernel memory, strncpy_from_unsafe_strict() should be used. So this patch changed to use strncpy_from_unsafe_strict().

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.
