migration: Use strnlen() for fixed-size string
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
GCC 8 introduced the -Wstringop-overflow, which detect buffer overflow
by string-modifying functions declared in <string.h>, such strncpy(),
used in global_state_store_running().

GCC indeed found an incorrect use of strlen(), because this array
is loaded by VMSTATE_BUFFER(runstate, GlobalState) then parsed
using qapi_enum_parse which does not get the buffer length.

Use strnlen() which returns sizeof(s->runstate) if the array is not
NUL-terminated, assert the size is within range, and enforce the array
to be NUL-terminated to avoid an overflow in qapi_enum_parse().

This fixes:
