[ Upstream commit 63f84ae6b82bb4dff672f76f30c6fd7b9d3766bc ] Do not copy the fixed-size char array field of the events over the field size. The histogram treats char array as a string and there are 2 types of char array in the event, fixed-size and dynamic string. The dynamic string (__data_loc) field must be null terminated, but the fixed-size char array field may not be null terminated (not a string, but just a data). In that case, histogram can copy the data after the field. This uses the original field size for fixed-size char array field to restrict the histogram not to access over the original field size.

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.
