Subject: [PATCH 10/11] perf tools: Use scnprintf() in build_id__snprintf() and hwmon read_events()
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 22:05:24 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609010526.1998472-11-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609010526.1998472-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
build_id__snprintf() and hwmon_pmu__read_events() accumulate formatted
output via snprintf(), which returns the would-have-been-written count
on truncation. In build_id__snprintf(), this inflates the return
value beyond the buffer size. In hwmon_pmu__read_events(), len
overshoots out_buf_len and the next 'out_buf_len - len' underflows.
Switch both to scnprintf() which returns actual bytes written.
In build_id__snprintf(), also tighten the loop guard from
'offs < bf_size' to 'offs + 1 < bf_size': since scnprintf() returns
at most size-1, offs never reaches bf_size, and the original condition
would spin doing zero-byte writes once the buffer fills.
Fixes: fccaaf6fbbc59910 ("perf build-id: Change sprintf functions to snprintf")
Fixes: 53cc0b351ec99278 ("perf hwmon_pmu: Add a tool PMU exposing events from hwmon in sysfs")
