When build with W=1 and "-Werror=format-truncation", below error is observed in coretemp driver, drivers/hwmon/coretemp.c: In function 'create_core_data': >> drivers/hwmon/coretemp.c:393:34: error: '%s' directive output may be truncated writing likely 5 or more bytes into a region of size between 3 and 13 [-Werror=format-truncation=] 393 | "temp%d_%s", attr_no, suffixes[i]); | ^~ drivers/hwmon/coretemp.c:393:26: note: assuming directive output of 5 bytes 393 | "temp%d_%s", attr_no, suffixes[i]); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/hwmon/coretemp.c:392:17: note: 'snprintf' output 7 or more bytes (assuming 22) into a destination of size 19 392 | snprintf(tdata->attr_name[i], CORETEMP_NAME_LENGTH, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 393 | "temp%d_%s", attr_no, suffixes[i]); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors Given that 1. '%d' could take 10 charactors, 2. '%s' could take 10 charactors ("crit_alarm"), 3. "temp", "_" and the NULL terminator take 6 charactors, fix the problem by increasing CORETEMP_NAME_LENGTH to 28.
