[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 199/218] bpf: avoid copying junk bytes in bpf_get_current_comm()

[Kamal Mostafa]

4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxx>

commit cdc4e47da8f4c32eeb6b2061a8a834f4362a12b7 upstream.

Lots of places in the kernel use memcpy(buf, comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); but
the result is typically passed to print("%s", buf) and extra bytes
after zero don't cause any harm.
In bpf the result of bpf_get_current_comm() is used as the part of
map key and was causing spurious hash map mismatches.
Use strlcpy() to guarantee zero-terminated string.
bpf verifier checks that output buffer is zero-initialized,
so even for short task names the output buffer don't have junk bytes.
Note it's not a security concern, since kprobe+bpf is root only.

Fixes: ffeedafbf023 ("bpf: introduce current->pid, tgid, uid, gid, comm accessors")
