With CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled, string functions will also perform
dynamic checks for string size which can panic the kernel, like incase
of overflow detection.
In papr_scm, papr_scm_pmu_check_events function uses stat->stat_id with
string operations, to populate the nvdimm_events_map array. Since
stat_id variable is not NULL terminated, the kernel panics with
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled at boot time.
Below are the logs of kernel panic:
detected buffer overflow in __fortify_strlen

kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:980!
Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]

Fix this issue by using kmemdup_nul() to copy the content of
stat->stat_id directly to the nvdimm_events_map array.
mpe: stat->stat_id comes from the hypervisor, not userspace, so there is
no security exposure.

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.
