[PATCH v2] perf buildid: Avoid copy of uninitialized memory

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Fri Jan 20 2023 - 13:58:48 EST


build_id__init only copies the buildid data up to size leaving the
rest of the data array uninitialized. Copying the full array during
synthesis means the written event contains uninitialized
memory. Ensure the size is less that the buffer size and only copy the
bytes that were initialized. This was detected by the Clang/LLVM
memory sanitizer.

v2. Avoids the potential for copying too much as suggested by Arnaldo.
