perf pmu: Use scnprintf in buffer offset calculations
Replace snprintf with scnprintf in buffer offset calculations to
ensure the 'used' count will not exceed the "len".
The current logic in perf_pmu__for_each_event uses an unconditional
+ 1 increment to buf_used to account for null terminators. This can
cause a stack buffer overflow in the subsequent scnprintf call.
When the local stack buffer buf (1024 bytes) is full, buf_used can
reach 1025. This causes the subsequent remaining space calculation
sizeof(buf) - buf_used to underflow.
Use sub_non_neg() to see if space actually existed, and only
increment the offset if remaining space is present.
Changes includes:
- Use sub_non_neg to check if space exists
- Replacing snprintf with scnprintf to ensure the return value
reflects the actual bytes written into the buffer.
- Only increment buf_used by 1 if space exists
- If a parameterized event uses a built-in perf keyword for its
parameter name (eg, config=?), the lexer parses it as a predefined
term token, which sets term->config to NULL. Add check to use
parse_events__term_type_str() if term->config is NULL.
