    kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0' · 9281acea
    Tejun Heo 提交于
    KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
    trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
    buffer.  This is nonsense and error-prone.  Moreover, when the caller
    forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
    because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
    
    This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.
    
    * off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
      is fixed.
    
    * Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
      MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
      trailing '\0'.  Fix it.
