Both print_fields() and print_array() do not handle if dynamic data ends
at the last byte of the payload for both __dyn_loc and __rel_loc field
types. For __rel_loc, the offset was off by 4 bytes, leading to
incorrect strings and data being printed out. In print_array() the
buffer pos was missed from being advanced, which results in the first
payload byte being used as the offset base instead of the field offset.
Advance __rel_loc offset by 4 to ensure correct offset and advance pos
to the field offset to ensure correct data is displayed when printing
arrays. Change >= to > when checking if data is in-bounds, since it's
valid for dynamic data to include the last byte of the payload.
Example outputs for event format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:__rel_loc char text[]; offset:8; size:4; signed:1;
Output before:
tp_rel_loc: text=<OVERFLOW>
Output after:
tp_rel_loc: text=Test

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.
