[ Upstream commit 3745488e9d599916a0b40d45d3f30e3d4720288e ]
altera_get_note is called from altera_init, where key is kzalloc(33).
When the allocation functions are annotated to allow the compiler to see
the sizes of objects, and with FORTIFY_SOURCE, we see:
In file included from drivers/misc/altera-stapl/altera.c:14:0:
In function ‘strlcpy’,
inlined from ‘altera_init’ at drivers/misc/altera-stapl/altera.c:2189:5:
include/linux/string.h:378:4: error: call to ‘__write_overflow’ declared with attribute error: detected write beyond size of object passed as 1st parameter
__write_overflow();
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That refers to this code in altera_get_note:
if (key != NULL)
strlcpy(key, &p[note_strings +
get_unaligned_be32(
&p[note_table + (8 * i)])],
length);
The error triggers because the length of 'key' is 33, but the copy
uses length supplied as the 'length' parameter, which is always
256. Split the size parameter into key_len and val_len, and use the
appropriate length depending on what is being copied.
Detected by compiler error, only compile-tested.

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.
