Linux VM on Hyper-V crashes with the latest mainline:
[ 4.069624] detected buffer overflow in strcpy

This is because of the recent buffer overflow detection in the
commit 6a39e62abbaf ("lib: string.h: detect intra-object overflow in
fortified string functions")
Here acpi_device_bus_id->bus_id can only hold 14 characters, while the
the acpi_device_hid(device) returns a 22-char string
"HYPER_V_GEN_COUNTER_V1".
Per ACPI Spec v6.2, Section 6.1.5 _HID (Hardware ID), if the ID is a
string, it must be of the form AAA#### or NNNN####, i.e. 7 chars or 8
chars.
The field bus_id in struct acpi_device_bus_id was originally defined as
char bus_id[9], and later was enlarged to char bus_id[15] in 2007 in the
commit bb0958544f3c ("ACPI: use more understandable bus_id for ACPI
devices")
Fix the issue by changing the field bus_id to const char *, and use
kstrdup_const() to initialize it.

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.
