If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit acdbdd31aba1676740976272be4e4a4b8d894c1f Author: Hui Wang <hui.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Feb 8 18:38:57 2021 +0800 ASoC: SOF: debug: Fix a potential issue on string buffer termination [ Upstream commit 9037c3bde65d339017ef41d81cb58069ffc321d4 ] The function simple_write_to_buffer() doesn't add string termination at the end of buf, we need to handle it on our own. This change refers to the function tokenize_input() in debug.c and the function sof_dfsentry_trace_filter_write() in trace.c.
