[Xen-devel] [PATCH] console: avoid buffer overrun in guest_console_write()

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>]

conring_puts() has been requiring a nul-terminated string, which the
local kbuf[] doesn't get set for anymore. Add a length parameter to the
function, just like was done for others, thus allowing embedded nul to
also be read through XEN_SYSCTL_readconsole.

While there drop a stray cast: Both operands of - are already uint32_t.
