Subject: selftests/mm: fix thread state check in uffd-unit-tests
Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2025 17:14:08 +0800

In the thread_state_get() function, the logic to find the thread's state
character was using `sizeof(header) - 1` to calculate the offset from the
"State:\t" string.

The `header` variable is a `const char *` pointer.  `sizeof()` on a
pointer returns the size of the pointer itself, not the length of the
string literal it points to.  This makes the code's behavior dependent on
the architecture's pointer size.

This bug was identified on a 32-bit ARM build (`gsi_tv_arm`) for Android,
running on an ARMv8-based device, compiled with Clang 19.0.1.

On this 32-bit architecture, `sizeof(char *)` is 4.  The expression
`sizeof(header) - 1` resulted in an incorrect offset of 3, causing the
test to read the wrong character from `/proc/[tid]/status` and fail.

On 64-bit architectures, `sizeof(char *)` is 8, so the expression
coincidentally evaluates to 7, which matches the length of "State:\t". 
This is why the bug likely remained hidden on 64-bit builds.

To fix this and make the code portable and correct across all
architectures, this patch replaces `sizeof(header) - 1` with
`strlen(header)`.  The `strlen()` function correctly calculates the
string's length, ensuring the correct offset is always used.
