Linux VM on Hyper-V crashes with the latest mainline:

[    4.085819]  kernel_init_freeable+0x1ab/0x1f4

This is because of the recent buffer overflow detection in the
commit 6a39e62abbaf ("lib: string.h: detect intra-object overflow in fortified string functions")

Here acpi_device_bus_id->bus_id can only hold 14 characters, while the
the acpi_device_hid(device) returns a 22-char string
"HYPER_V_GEN_COUNTER_V1".

Per ACPI Spec v6.2, Section 6.1.5 _HID (Hardware ID), if the ID is a
string, it must be of the form AAA#### or NNNN####, i.e. 7 chars or 8
chars.

The field bus_id in struct acpi_device_bus_id was originally defined as
char bus_id[9], and later was enlarged to char bus_id[15] in 2007 in the
commit bb0958544f3c ("ACPI: use more understandable bus_id for ACPI devices")

It looks like so far an ID string of >=15 chars is only seen in the guest
BIOS/firmware by Hyper-V, and AFAIK the ID string "HYPER_V_GEN_COUNTER_V1"
is never used by Linux VM on Hyper-V, so let's just truncate the string to
fix the panic.

IMO this patch should also go to the stable trees, so please add
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>

Hi, ACPI maintainers,
Would you please take a look at the small fix? Currently the mainline Linux
kernel, running in a VM on Hyper-V, has been broken for almost 3 weeks,
i.e. the VM always panics when it boots.

The patch has already had Michael's Reviewed-by.

BTW, the patch should have a stable tag:
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>

Or, do you want the patch to go through the Hyper-V tree?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hyperv/linux.git/log/?h=hyperv-fixes

The small patch is unlikely to cause a merge conflict, and it only affects
Linux VMs on Hyper-V so far.

Thanks,
-- Dexuan

Please prefer strscpy() over strlcpy():

+		strscpy(acpi_device_bus_id->bus_id, acpi_device_hid(device),
+			sizeof(acpi_device_bus_id->bus_id));

The root cause is a VM issue AFAICS, though.

It doesn't look like the right fix to me, though.

The problem appears to be that the string coming from _HID is too long
(which is a spec violation).  The patch truncates it to match the
length of the target buffer, but that is not particularly useful.

It would be better to use something like kstrdup_const() to initialize
acpi_device_bus_id->bus_id IMV.

Yes.

Yes. We have requested Hyper-V team to fix the buggy BIOS/firmware,
but we have to cope with the existing buggy Hyper-V hosts, at least
before the Hyper-V fix is deployed to the hosts, and some old versions
of the hosts may not get updated. :-(

Makes sense. I'll submit v2 shortly.
