3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit bdf23a9a190d7ecea092fd5c4aabb7d4bd0a9980 upstream.

The size of dirent->dt_name is NAME_MAX + 1, but the size for the 'path'
buffer is hard coded at 256, which may truncate it because we also
prepend "/proc/", so that all that into account and thank gcc 7 for this
warning:

/git/linux/tools/perf/util/thread_map.c: In function 'thread_map__new_by_uid':
/git/linux/tools/perf/util/thread_map.c:119:39: error: '%s' directive output may be truncated writing up to 255 bytes into a region of size 250 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/%s", dirent->d_name);
