[PATCH v2] drm: fix off-by-one in logger

From: Norbert Manthey
Date: Wed May 23 2018 - 01:29:36 EST


The current implementation will leak a byte to the log via memmove. The
specified 27 bytes are off-by-one, as the payload is 25 bytes, and the
termination character is only one byte large. To avoid this, factor out
the error message, and furthermore make the second parameter of the
append_entry function const.

The full trace is as follows:

In function âmemmoveâ,
from âappend_entryâ at
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/basics/logger.c:257:2,
from âdm_logger_append_vaâ at
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/basics/logger.c:348:4
detected read beyond size of object passed as 2nd parameter
