Subject: sysctl: make sure to terminate strings with a NUL
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=de9e007d9105bf8fa613a89810feff32a43add03;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

sysctl: make sure to terminate strings with a NUL

This is a slightly more complete fix for the previous minimal sysctl
string fix.  It always terminates the returned string with a NUL, even
if the full result wouldn't fit in the user-supplied buffer.

The returned length is the full untruncated length, so that you can
tell when truncation has occurred.
