resctrl selftests discover system properties via a variety of sysfs files. The MBM and MBA tests need to discover the event and umask with which to configure the performance event used to measure read memory bandwidth. This is done by parsing the contents of /sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore_imc_<imc instance>/events/cas_count_read Similarly, the resctrl selftests discover the cache size via /sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpu<id>/cache/index<index>/size.
Take care to do bounds checking when using fscanf() to read the contents of files into a string buffer because by default fscanf() assumes arbitrarily long strings. If the file contains more bytes than the array can accommodate then an overflow will occur.
Provide a maximum field width to the conversion specifier to protect against array overflow. The maximum is one less than the array size because string input stores a terminating null byte that is not covered by the maximum field width.
Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre reinette.chatre@intel.com Reviewed-by: Ilpo Järvinen ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com --- This makes the code robust against any changes in information read from sysfs. The existing sysfs content fit well into the arrays, thus this is not considered a bugfix.
