[PATCH] target/s390x/arch_dump: Fixes for the name field in the PT_NOTE


From: Thomas Huth
Subject: [PATCH] target/s390x/arch_dump: Fixes for the name field in the PT_NOTE section
Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2021 10:44:54 +0100

According to the "ELF-64 Object File Format" specification:

"The first word in the entry, namesz, identifies the length, in
 bytes, of a name identifying the entry’s owner or originator. The name field
 contains a null-terminated string, with padding as necessary to ensure 8-
 byte alignment for the descriptor field. The length does not include the
 terminating null or the padding."

So we should not include the terminating NUL in the length field here.

Also there is a compiler warning with GCC 9.3 when compiling with
the -fsanitize=thread compiler flag:

 In function 'strncpy',
    inlined from 's390x_write_elf64_notes' at ../target/s390x/arch_dump.c:219:9:
 /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/string_fortified.h:106:10: error:
  '__builtin_strncpy' specified bound 8 equals destination size
  [-Werror=stringop-truncation]

Since the name should always be NUL-terminated, we can simply decrease
the size of the strncpy by one here to silence this warning. And while
we're at it, also add an assert() to make sure that the provided names
always fit the size field (which is fine for the current callers, the
function is called once with "CORE" and once with "LINUX" as a name).
