Arnd noticed we have a case where a shorter source string is being copied
into a destination byte array, but this results in a strnlen() call that
exceeds the size of the source. This is seen with -Wstringop-overread:
In file included from ../include/linux/uuid.h:11,
from ../include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:14,
from ../include/linux/cpufeature.h:12,
from ../arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c:7:
../arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c: In function 'tdx_panic.constprop':
../include/linux/string.h:284:9: error: 'strnlen' specified bound 64 exceeds source size 60 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
284 | memcpy_and_pad(dest, _dest_len, src, strnlen(src, _dest_len), pad); \
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c:124:9: note: in expansion of macro 'strtomem_pad'
124 | strtomem_pad(message.str, msg, '\0');
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
Use the smaller of the two buffer sizes when calling strnlen(). When
src length is unknown (SIZE_MAX), it is adjusted to use dest length,
which is what the original code did.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
