Tyrel Datwyler be1f58e58f PCI: rpadlpar: Fix potential drc_name corruption in store functions
commit cc7a0bb058b85ea03db87169c60c7cfdd5d34678 upstream.

Both add_slot_store() and remove_slot_store() try to fix up the
drc_name copied from the store buffer by placing a NUL terminator at
nbyte + 1 or in place of a '\n' if present. However, the static buffer
that we copy the drc_name data into is not zeroed and can contain
anything past the n-th byte.

This is problematic if a '\n' byte appears in that buffer after nbytes
and the string copied into the store buffer was not NUL terminated to
start with as the strchr() search for a '\n' byte will mark this
incorrectly as the end of the drc_name string resulting in a drc_name
string that contains garbage data after the n-th byte.

Additionally it will cause us to overwrite that '\n' byte on the stack
with NUL, potentially corrupting data on the stack.

The following debugging shows an example of the drmgr utility writing
"PHB 4543" to the add_slot sysfs attribute, but add_slot_store()
logging a corrupted string value.

  drmgr: drmgr: -c phb -a -s PHB 4543 -d 1
  add_slot_store: drc_name = PHB 4543°|<82>!, rc = -19

Fix this by using strscpy() instead of memcpy() to ensure the string
is NUL terminated when copied into the static drc_name buffer.
Further, since the string is now NUL terminated the code only needs to
change '\n' to '\0' when present.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
