[PATCH bpf v3 0/2] Fix bpf_probe_read_user_str() overcopying

6ae08ae3dea2 ("bpf: Add probe_read_{user, kernel} and probe_read_{user,
kernel}_str helpers") introduced a subtle bug where
bpf_probe_read_user_str() would potentially copy a few extra bytes after
the NUL terminator.

This issue is particularly nefarious when strings are used as map keys,
as seemingly identical strings can occupy multiple entries in a map.

This patchset fixes the issue and introduces a selftest to prevent
future regressions.

v2 -> v3:
* set pid filter before attaching prog in selftest
* use long instead of int as bpf_probe_read_user_str() retval
* style changes

v1 -> v2:
* add Fixes: tag
* add selftest

lib/strncpy_from_user.c: Don't overcopy bytes after NUL terminator
selftest/bpf: Test bpf_probe_read_user_str() strips trailing bytes
after NUL
