[ Upstream commit 784bd0847eda032ed2f3522f87250655a18c0190 ] Fix a varargs-related bug in print_synth_event() which resulted in strange output and oopses on 32-bit x86 systems. The problem is that trace_seq_printf() expects the varargs to match the format string, but print_synth_event() was always passing u64 values regardless. This results in unspecified behavior when unpacking with va_arg() in trace_seq_printf(). Add a function that takes the size into account when calling trace_seq_printf().

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.
