From 6c3c5b26d08569ed80e10d3e02d3c997ed1e6e7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Jarosch Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2011 19:00:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf buildid: Fix possible unterminated readlink() result buffer The readlink function doesn't guarantee that a '\0' will be put at the end of the provided buffer if there is no space left. No need to do "buf[len] = '\0';" since the buffer is allocated with zalloc().
