Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc/xmon: Fix tmpstr length check in scanhex
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2024 10:32:22 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240815050222.801289-1-maddy@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

If a function name is greater than 63 char long, xmon command
may not find them. For example, here is a test that
executed an illegal instruction in a kernel function and one of
call stack function has name >63 char long,

cpu 0x0: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c00000000a6577e0]

[c00000000a657ac0] c00000000019b424 power_pmu_event_init+0xa4/0xa50

and when executing a dump instruction (di) command for long function name,
xmon fails to find the function symbol

0:mon> di $check__allowed__function__name__for__symbol__r2_resolution_symbol
unknown symbol 'check__allowed__function__name__for__symbol__r2_resolution_symb'
0000000000000000  ********

This is because, in the scanhex(), tmpstr loop index is checked only for a upper bound
of 63. Proposed fix is to replace the upper bound value with "KSYM_NAME_LEN"

With fix:

0:mon> di $check__allowed__function__name__for__symbol__r2_resolution_symbol
