stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.33 commit afb39909bfb5c08111f99e21bf5be7505f59ff1c category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IA6S9X CVE: CVE-2024-38576

--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit 3758f7d9917bd7ef0482c4184c0ad673b4c4e069 ]
The rcuc-starvation output from print_cpu_stall_info() might overflow the buffer if there is a huge difference in jiffies difference. The situation might seem improbable, but computers sometimes get very confused about time, which can result in full-sized integers, and, in this case, buffer overflow.
Also, the unsigned jiffies difference is printed using %ld, which is normally for signed integers. This is intentional for debugging purposes, but it is not obvious from the code.
This commit therefore changes sprintf() to snprintf() and adds a clarifying comment about intention of %ld format.
