powerpc/papr_scm: Fix buffer overflow issue with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE
With CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled, string functions will also perform dynamic checks for string size which can panic the kernel, like incase of overflow detection. In papr_scm, papr_scm_pmu_check_events function uses stat->stat_id with string operations, to populate the nvdimm_events_map array. Since stat_id variable is not NULL terminated, the kernel panics with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled at boot time. Below are the logs of kernel panic: detected buffer overflow in __fortify_strlen ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:980! Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1] NIP [c00000000077dad0] fortify_panic+0x28/0x38 LR [c00000000077dacc] fortify_panic+0x24/0x38 Call Trace: [c0000022d77836e0] [c00000000077dacc] fortify_panic+0x24/0x38 (unreliable) [c00800000deb2660] papr_scm_pmu_check_events.constprop.0+0x118/0x220 [papr_scm] [c00800000deb2cb0] papr_scm_probe+0x288/0x62c [papr_scm] [c0000000009b46a8] platform_probe+0x98/0x150 Fix this issue by using kmemdup_nul() to copy the content of stat->stat_id directly to the nvdimm_events_map array. mpe: stat->stat_id comes from the hypervisor, not userspace, so there is no security exposure.
