Subject: [PATCH v2] tracing: Limit trace_marker writes to just 4K

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

Limit the max print event of trace_marker to just 4K string size. This must
also be less than the amount that can be held by a trace_seq along with
the text that is before the output (like the task name, PID, CPU, state,
etc). As trace_seq is made to handle large events (some greater than 4K).
Make the max size of a trace_marker write event be 4K which is guaranteed
to fit in the trace_seq buffer.

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240304192710.4c99677c@gandalf.local.home/

- Just make the max limit 4K and not half of the trace_seq size.
  The trace_seq is already made to handle events greater than 4k.
