Since commit 533059281ee5 ("tracing: probeevent: Introduce new
argument fetching code") dropped the $comm support from uprobe
events, this re-enables it.
For $comm support, uses strlcpy() instead of strncpy_from_user()
to copy current task's comm. Because it is in the kernel space,
strncpy_from_user() always fails to copy the comm.
This also uses strlen() instead of strnlen_user() to measure the
length of the comm.
Note that this uses -ECOMM as a token value to fetch the comm
string. If the user-space pointer points -ECOMM, it will be
translated to task->comm.

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.
