From: Halil Pasic <pasic@linux.ibm.com>
The function machine_get_loadparm() is supposed to produce a C-string,
that is a NUL-terminated one, but it does not. ElectricFence can detect
this problem if the loadparm machine property is used.
Let us make the returned string a NUL-terminated one.
Fixes: 7104bae9de ("hw/s390x: provide loadparm property for the machine")

Hi. Coverity points out (CID 1431058) that this code now
reads off the end of the ms->loadparm buffer, because
g_memdup() is going to read and copy 9 bytes (size + 1)
and the array itself is only 8 bytes.
I don't think you can use g_memdup() here -- you need to
allocate the memory with g_malloc() and then fill it with
memcpy(), something like:
loadparm_str = g_malloc(sizeof(ms->loadparm) + 1);
memcpy(loadparm_str, ms->loadparm, sizeof(ms->loadparm));
loadparm_str[sizeof(ms->loadparm)] = 0;
thanks

Sigh.
Halil, do you have time to cook up a patch?
