Subject: [PATCH 18/23] tools lib api: Fix mount_overload() snprintf truncation and toupper range
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:51:51 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610195157.2091137-19-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260610195157.2091137-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
mount_overload() builds an environment variable name like
"PERF_SYSFS_ENVIRONMENT" from fs->name. Two bugs:
1) snprintf() uses name_len as the buffer size instead of sizeof(upper_name).
For fs->name = "sysfs" (len=5), the output is truncated to "PERF" (4
chars + null), so getenv() never finds the intended variable.
2) mem_toupper() only uppercases name_len bytes, converting just the "PERF"
prefix rather than the full string including the filesystem name portion.
Fix by using sizeof(upper_name) for snprintf and strlen(upper_name) for
mem_toupper, so the full "PERF_SYSFS_ENVIRONMENT" string is correctly
formatted and uppercased.
