time: fix sysfs_show_{available,current}_clocksources() buffer overflow problem
I found that there is a buffer overflow problem in the following code.
Version: 2.6.24-rc2,
File: kernel/time/clocksource.c:417-432
--------------------------------------------------------------------
static ssize_t
sysfs_show_available_clocksources(struct sys_device *dev, char *buf)
{
struct clocksource *src;
char *curr = buf;
spin_lock_irq(&clocksource_lock);
list_for_each_entry(src, &clocksource_list, list) {
curr += sprintf(curr, "%s ", src->name);
}
spin_unlock_irq(&clocksource_lock);
curr += sprintf(curr, "\n");
return curr - buf;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
sysfs_show_current_clocksources() also has the same problem though in practice
the size of current clocksource's name won't exceed PAGE_SIZE.
I fix the bug by using snprintf according to the specification of the kernel
(Version:2.6.24-rc2,File:Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt)
Fix sysfs_show_available_clocksources() and sysfs_show_current_clocksources()
buffer overflow problem with snprintf().
