  * @iter: The iterator that holds the seq buffer and the event being printed
- * @fmt: The format used to print the event
- * @ap: The va_list holding the data to print from @fmt.
  *
- * This writes the data into the @iter->seq buffer using the data from

- * is examined to make sure it is safe to print, otherwise it will
- * warn and print "[UNSAFE MEMORY]" in place of the dereferenced string
- * pointer.
+ * At boot up, test_event_printk() will flag any event that dereferences

+ * be valid, as the string may point to a static string in the kernel
+ * rodata that never gets freed. But if the string pointer is pointing
+ * to something that was allocated, there's a chance that it can be freed
+ * by the time the user reads the trace. This would cause a bad memory
+ * access by the kernel and possibly crash the system.
+ *
+ * This function will check if the event has any fields flagged as needing
+ * to be checked at runtime and perform those checks.

+ * If it is found that a field is unsafe, it will write into the @iter->seq
+ * a message stating what was found to be unsafe.
