Hi Robert,

I looked through the oprofile arch specific code for other snprintf uses with small character arrays and added those to the patch.  Attached is current patch to increase the size of the buffers to make sure that they will not be truncated.

OProfile since 1.0.0 has used the kernels perf infrastructure rather than the oprofile kernel driver.  OProfile 1.0 was released September 2014, over two years ago.  Would it make sense to deprecate and at some point remove the oprofile driver kernel from the kernel?  Recent Fedora distributions already have CONFIG_OPROFILE unset in the kernel configurations.

Subject: [PATCH] Avoid hypthetical string truncation in various oprofile
 buffers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Increased the size of internal oprofile driver buffers ensuring that
the strings were never truncated for any possible values to avoid
warning/errors like the following GCC 7 compiler error on ppc when
building the kernel:

linux/arch/powerpc/oprofile/../../../drivers/oprofile/oprofile_stats.c: In function ‘oprofile_create_stats_files’:
linux/arch/powerpc/oprofile/../../../drivers/oprofile/oprofile_stats.c:55:25: error: ‘%d’ directive output may be truncated writing between 1 and 11 bytes into a region of size 7 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
   snprintf(buf, 10, "cpu%d", i);
                         ^~
