+ *		Outputs a string into the **str** buffer of size **str_size**
+ *		based on a format string stored in a read-only map pointed by
+ *		**fmt**.
+ *
+ *		Each format specifier in **fmt** corresponds to one u64 element
+ *		in the **data** array. For strings and pointers where pointees
+ *		are accessed, only the pointer values are stored in the *data*
+ *		array. The *data_len* is the size of *data* in bytes.
+ *
+ *		Formats **%s** and **%p{i,I}{4,6}** require to read kernel
+ *		memory. Reading kernel memory may fail due to either invalid
+ *		address or valid address but requiring a major memory fault. If
+ *		reading kernel memory fails, the string for **%s** will be an
+ *		empty string, and the ip address for **%p{i,I}{4,6}** will be 0.
+ *		Not returning error to bpf program is consistent with what
+ *		**bpf_trace_printk**\ () does for now.
+ *
+ *	Return
+ *		The strictly positive length of the formatted string, including
+ *		the trailing zero character. If the return value is greater than
+ *		**str_size**, **str** contains a truncated string, guaranteed to
+ *		be zero-terminated except when **str_size** is 0.

+ *		Or **-EBUSY** if the per-CPU memory copy buffer is busy.
