Merge tag 'printk-for-5.11-urgent-fixup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux Pull printk fix from Petr Mladek: "The fix of a potential buffer overflow in 5.11-rc5 introduced another one. The trailing '\0' might be written up to the message "len" past the buffer. Fortunately, it is not that easy to hit. Most readers use 1kB buffers for a single message. Typical messages fit into the temporary buffer with enough reserve. Also readers do not rely on the '\0'. It is related to the previous fix. Some readers required the space for the trailing '\0'. We decided to write it there to avoid such regressions in the future. The most realistic victims are dumpers using kmsg_dump_get_buffer(). They are filling the entire buffer with as many messages as possible. They are typically used when handling panic()" * tag 'printk-for-5.11-urgent-fixup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: printk: fix string termination for record_print_text()
