The hexdump decodes to:

vegardno@...in ~ $ ./a.out 7063693a303030303a30303a30322e3000a76c080800000000a76c080e000000
pci:0000:00:02.0<0><167>l<8><8><0><0><0><0><167>l<8><14><0><0><0>

...so drm_getunique() is trying to copy some uninitialized data to
userspace. The ECX register contains the number of words that are
left to copy -- so there are 5 * 4 = 20 bytes left. The offset of the
first uninitialized byte (counting from the start of the string) is
also 20 (i.e. 0xf65d2294&((1 << 5)-1) == 20). So somebody tried to
copy 40 bytes when the string was only 19 long.

In drm_set_busid() we have this code:

        dev->unique_len = 40;
        dev->unique = drm_alloc(dev->unique_len + 1, DRM_MEM_DRIVER);
	...
        len = snprintf(dev->unique, dev->unique_len, "pci:%04x:%02x:%02x.%d",

...so it seems that dev->unique is never updated to reflect the
actual length of the string. The remaining bytes (20 in this case)
are random uninitialized bytes that are copied into userspace.

This patch fixes the problem by setting dev->unique_len after the
snprintf().

Completely untested.
