[PATCH] perf buildid: fix off-by-one in write_buildid()

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Tue Apr 19 2016 - 04:17:24 EST


write_buildid() increments 'name_len' with intention to take into account
trailing zero byte. However, 'name_len' was already incremented in
machine__write_buildid_table() before.
So this leads to out-of-bounds read in do_write():

$ ./perf record sleep 0
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
