==================================================================<br />
<br />
It has been reported that trace_seq_to_buffer() tries to copy more data<br />
than PAGE_SIZE to buf. Therefore, to prevent this, we should use the<br />
smaller of trace_seq_used(&iter->seq) and PAGE_SIZE as an argument.
