Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 1/2] rtla: Fix buffer overflow in actions_parse
Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2025 07:34:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250927113447.813602775@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250927113418.080268096@kernel.org
From: Ivan Pravdin <ipravdin.official@gmail.com>
Currently, tests 3 and 13-22 in tests/timerlat.t fail with error:
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
timeout: the monitored command dumped core
The result of running `sudo make check` is
tests/timerlat.t (Wstat: 0 Tests: 22 Failed: 11)
Failed tests: 3, 13-22
Files=3, Tests=34, 140 wallclock secs ( 0.07 usr 0.01 sys + 27.63 cusr
27.96 csys = 55.67 CPU)
Result: FAIL
Fix buffer overflow in actions_parse to avoid this error. After this
change, the tests results are
tests/hwnoise.t ... ok
tests/osnoise.t ... ok
tests/timerlat.t .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=3, Tests=34, 186 wallclock secs ( 0.06 usr 0.01 sys + 41.10 cusr
44.38 csys = 85.55 CPU)
Result: PASS
