[PATCH bpf v2 0/2] bpf: allow UTF-8 literals in bpf_bprintf_prepare()
Posted by Yihan Ding 2 months ago
bpf_bprintf_prepare() currently rejects any non-ASCII byte in format
strings, so helpers such as bpf_trace_printk() fail to emit UTF-8
literal text even when those bytes are not part of a format specifier.

Keep plain text permissive while continuing to parse '%' sequences as
ASCII-only, then extend trace_printk selftests to cover both the valid
UTF-8 literal case and the invalid non-ASCII-after-'%' case.

Changes in v2:
- split the core change and selftest updates into two patches
- drop unnecessary isspace()/ispunct() casts
- add comments to clarify plain-text vs format-specifier handling
- add a negative selftest for non-ASCII bytes inside '%' sequences

Testing:
- Reproduced on x86_64 without the core fix: ASCII trace output works,
  while UTF-8 literal text in bpf_trace_printk() is rejected and
  produces no trace output
- Verified with tools/testing/selftests/bpf: ./test_progs -t trace_printk
