From: Chen Gang Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2013 03:48:27 +0000 (+0800) Subject: perf: Fix strncpy() use, always make sure it's NUL terminated X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c97847d2f0eb77c806e650e04d9bbcf79fa05730;p=linux-beck.git perf: Fix strncpy() use, always make sure it's NUL terminated For NUL terminated string, always make sure that there's '\0' at the end. In our case we need a return value, so still use strncpy() and fix up the tail explicitly. (strlcpy() returns the size, not the pointer) Signed-off-by: Chen Gang Cc: a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: acme@ghostprotocols.net Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/51623E0B.7070101@asianux.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- diff --git a/kernel/events/core.c b/kernel/events/core.c index 59412d037eed..7f0d67ea3f48 100644 --- a/kernel/events/core.c +++ b/kernel/events/core.c @@ -4737,7 +4737,8 @@ static void perf_event_mmap_event(struct perf_mmap_event *mmap_event) } else { if (arch_vma_name(mmap_event->vma)) { name = strncpy(tmp, arch_vma_name(mmap_event->vma), - sizeof(tmp)); + sizeof(tmp) - 1); + tmp[sizeof(tmp) - 1] = '\0'; goto got_name; }
