Currently seq_buf_puts() will happily create a non null-terminated
string for you in the buffer. This is particularly dangerous if the
buffer is on the stack.
For example:
char buf[8];
char secret = "secret";
struct seq_buf s;
seq_buf_init(&s, buf, sizeof(buf));
seq_buf_puts(&s, "foo");
printk("Message is %s\n", buf);
Can result in:
Message is fooªªªªªsecret
We could require all users to memset() their buffer to zero before
use. But that seems likely to be forgotten and lead to bugs.
Instead we can change seq_buf_puts() to always leave the buffer in a
null-terminated state.
The only downside is that this makes the buffer 1 character smaller
for seq_buf_puts(), but that seems like a good trade off.

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.
