Arnd Bergmann 54d11736ec platform/x86: dell-smbios: fix string overflow
The new sysfs code overwrites two fixed-length character arrays
that are each one byte shorter than they need to be, to hold
the trailing \0:

drivers/platform/x86/dell-smbios.c: In function 'build_tokens_sysfs':
drivers/platform/x86/dell-smbios.c:494:42: error: 'sprintf' writing a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-overflow=]
   sprintf(buffer_location, "%04x_location",
drivers/platform/x86/dell-smbios.c:494:3: note: 'sprintf' output 14 bytes into a destination of size 13
drivers/platform/x86/dell-smbios.c:506:36: error: 'sprintf' writing a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-overflow=]
   sprintf(buffer_value, "%04x_value",
drivers/platform/x86/dell-smbios.c:506:3: note: 'sprintf' output 11 bytes into a destination of size 10

This changes it to just use kasprintf(), which always gets it right.

Discovered with gcc-7.1.1 with the following commit reverted:
bd664f6b3e disable new gcc-7.1.1 warnings for now

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
