The new sysfs code overwrites two fixed-length character arrays
that are each one byte shorter than they need to be, to hold
the trailing \0:
drivers/platform/x86/dell-smbios.c: In function 'build_tokens_sysfs':
drivers/platform/x86/dell-smbios.c:494:42: error: 'sprintf' writing a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-overflow=]
sprintf(buffer_location, "%04x_location",
drivers/platform/x86/dell-smbios.c:494:3: note: 'sprintf' output 14 bytes into a destination of size 13
drivers/platform/x86/dell-smbios.c:506:36: error: 'sprintf' writing a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-overflow=]
sprintf(buffer_value, "%04x_value",
drivers/platform/x86/dell-smbios.c:506:3: note: 'sprintf' output 11 bytes into a destination of size 10
This changes it to just use kasprintf(), which always gets it right.
Discovered with gcc-7.1.1 with the following commit reverted:
bd664f6b3e disable new gcc-7.1.1 warnings for now
