John Ogness 861c2e349a printk: fix buffer overflow potential for print_text()
commit f0e386ee0c0b71ea6f7238506a4d0965a2dbef11 upstream.

Before the commit 896fbe20b4 ("printk: use the lockless
ringbuffer"), msg_print_text() would only write up to size-1 bytes
into the provided buffer. Some callers expect this behavior and
append a terminator to returned string. In particular:

arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:dump_log_buf()
arch/um/kernel/kmsg_dump.c:kmsg_dumper_stdout()

msg_print_text() has been replaced by record_print_text(), which
currently fills the full size of the buffer. This causes a
buffer overflow for the above callers.

Change record_print_text() so that it will only use size-1 bytes
for text data. Also, for paranoia sakes, add a terminator after
the text data.

And finally, document this behavior so that it is clear that only
size-1 bytes are used and a terminator is added.
