From 9281acea6a3687ff0f262e0be31eac34895b95d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 04:03:51 -0700 Subject: kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0' 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.
