netfilter: bpf: Pass string literal as format argument of request_module()
Both gcc-14 and clang-18 report that passing a non-string literal as the format argument of request_module() is potentially insecure. E.g. clang-18 says: .../nf_bpf_link.c:46:24: warning: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Wformat-security] 46 | err = request_module(mod); | ^~~ .../kmod.h:25:55: note: expanded from macro 'request_module' 25 | #define request_module(mod...) __request_module(true, mod) | ^~~ .../nf_bpf_link.c:46:24: note: treat the string as an argument to avoid this 46 | err = request_module(mod); | ^ | "%s", .../kmod.h:25:55: note: expanded from macro 'request_module' 25 | #define request_module(mod...) __request_module(true, mod) | ^ It is always the case where the contents of mod is safe to pass as the format argument. That is, in my understanding, it never contains any format escape sequences. But, it seems better to be safe than sorry. And, as a bonus, compiler output becomes less verbose by addressing this issue as suggested by clang-18. Compile tested only.
