Subject: [PATCH] Fix read buffer overflow in delta-ipc

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

The single caller passes a string to delta_ipc_open, which copies with a
fixed size larger than the string. So it copies some random data after
the original string the ro segment.

If the string was at the end of a page it may fault.

Just copy the string with a normal strcpy after clearing the field.

Found by a LTO build (which errors out)
because the compiler inlines the functions and can resolve
the string sizes and triggers the compile time checks in memcpy.

In function ‘memcpy’,
