Masami Hiramatsu (Google) 47cef9b444 tracing/filters: Fix false positive match in regex_match_full()
commit c22c7b735f upstream.

regex_match_full() calls strncmp(str, r->pattern, len) where len is the
target field buffer size. When len is smaller than r->len (the filter
pattern length), strncmp() checks only len bytes of r->pattern against
str. If those len bytes match, strncmp() returns 0, resulting in a
false-positive match where a shorter string in a fixed-size field
matches a longer filter pattern.

For example, a 4-byte static string field containing "abcd" matched the
filter pattern "abcdefgh" because strncmp("abcd", "abcdefgh", 4)
returned 0. In this case, @len does NOT include '\0' because it is
fixed-size array.

Fix this by returning 0 (no match) early when len < r->len.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
