Subject: [PATCH v4 2/9] platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: fix non-ASCII truncation in hp_get_string_from_buffer()
Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2026 00:14:27 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002191434.58529-3-meatuni001@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002191434.58529-1-meatuni001@gmail.com>
utf16s_to_utf8s() writes into dst, but the loop that follows
overwrites dst from the raw UTF-16 code units with truncating casts,
so any character above U+007F is mangled. For example, U+00E9 is
stored as 0xe9 instead of 0xc3 0xa9.
Convert into a scratch buffer first, then escape '\\', '\r', '\n' and
'\t' into dst with string_escape_mem(). Quotes are not escaped, so the
existing strreplace() still handles them.
Tested on HP EliteBook 840 G2 (Fedora 44, Linux 7.2.7).
Fixes: a34fc329b189 ("platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: bioscfg")

Changes in v3:
- Drop Suggested-by: Andy Shevchenko
- Use string_helpers.h instead of string.h, keep reverse xmas tree
order of declarations (Andy)
Changes in v2:
- Split out of the combined fix (Ilpo)
- Use @only of string_escape_mem() instead of a new flag (Andy)
