wmi: fix kernel panic when stack protection enabled.
Summary: Kernel panic arise when stack protection is enabled, since strncat will add a null terminating byte '\0'; So in functions like this one (wmi_query_block): char wc[4]="WC"; .... strncat(method, block->object_id, 2); ... the length of wc should be n+1 (wc[5]) or stack protection fault will arise. This is not noticeable when stack protection is disabled,but , isn't good either. Config used: [CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y, CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y] Panic Trace ------------ .... stack-protector: kernel stack corrupted in : fa7b182c 2.6.30-rc8-obelisco-generic call_trace: [<c04a6c40>] ? panic+0x45/0xd9 [<c012925d>] ? __stack_chk_fail+0x1c/0x40 [<fa7b182c>] ? wmi_query_block+0x15a/0x162 [wmi] [<fa7b182c>] ? wmi_query_block+0x15a/0x162 [wmi] [<fa7e7000>] ? acer_wmi_init+0x00/0x61a [acer_wmi] [<fa7e7135>] ? acer_wmi_init+0x135/0x61a [acer_wmi] [<c0101159>] ? do_one_initcall+0x50+0x126 Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13514 Signed-off-by: Costantino Leandro <lcostantino@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Carlos Corbacho <carlos@strangeworlds.co.uk> Cc: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Cc: "Rafael J.
