When we dynamically generate a name for a configuration in get-reg-list
we use strcat() to append to a buffer allocated using malloc() but we
never initialise that buffer. Since malloc() offers no guarantees
regarding the contents of the memory it returns this can lead to us
corrupting, and likely overflowing, the buffer:
vregs: PASS
vregs+pmu: PASS
sve: PASS
sve+pmu: PASS
vregs+pauth_address+pauth_generic: PASS
X?vr+gspauth_addre+spauth_generi+pmu: PASS
The bug is that strcat() should have been strcpy(), and that replacement
would be enough to fix it, but there are other things in the function
that leave something to be desired. In particular, an (incorrectly)
empty config would cause an out of bounds access to c->name[-1].
Since the strcpy() call relies on c->name[0..len-1] being initialized,
enforce that invariant throughout the function.

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.
