Add a local version of guest_snprintf() for use in the guest. Having a local copy allows the guest access to string formatting options without dependencies on LIBC. LIBC is problematic because it heavily relies on both AVX-512 instructions and a TLS, neither of which are guaranteed to be set up in the guest. The file guest_sprintf.c was lifted from arch/x86/boot/printf.c and adapted to work in the guest, including the addition of buffer length. I.e. s/sprintf/snprintf/ The functions where prefixed with "guest_" to allow guests to explicitly call them. A string formatted by this function is expected to succeed or die. If something goes wrong during the formatting process a GUEST_ASSERT() will be thrown.

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.
