[PATCH 0/1] perf util: fix out-of-bounds write in perf_exe()

[Miguel Martín Gil]

perf_exe() currently passes the full buffer length to readlink() and then
unconditionally appends a trailing NUL at buf[n].

When readlink() returns exactly len bytes, the NUL store lands one byte past
the end of the caller buffer.

This series fixes it by reading at most len - 1 bytes and keeping explicit NUL
termination only within bounds. It also hardens the fallback path for tiny
buffers so copying "perf" cannot overflow.
