KVM: selftests: Add guest_snprintf() to KVM selftests
Add a local version of guest_snprintf() for use in the guest. Having a local copy allows the guest access to string formatting options without dependencies on LIBC. LIBC is problematic because it heavily relies on both AVX-512 instructions and a TLS, neither of which are guaranteed to be set up in the guest. The file guest_sprintf.c was lifted from arch/x86/boot/printf.c and adapted to work in the guest, including the addition of buffer length. I.e. s/sprintf/snprintf/ The functions where prefixed with "guest_" to allow guests to explicitly call them. A string formatted by this function is expected to succeed or die. If something goes wrong during the formatting process a GUEST_ASSERT() will be thrown.
