Dexuan Cui a58015d638 ACPI: scan: Harden acpi_device_add() against device ID overflows 
Linux VM on Hyper-V crashes with the latest mainline:

[    4.069624] detected buffer overflow in strcpy
[    4.077733] kernel BUG at lib/string.c:1149!
..
[    4.085819] RIP: 0010:fortify_panic+0xf/0x11

[    4.085819] Call Trace:

[    4.085819]  kernel_init_freeable+0x1ab/0x1f4

This is because of the recent buffer overflow detection in the
commit 6a39e62abb ("lib: string.h: detect intra-object overflow in
fortified string functions")

Here acpi_device_bus_id->bus_id can only hold 14 characters, while the
the acpi_device_hid(device) returns a 22-char string
"HYPER_V_GEN_COUNTER_V1".

Per ACPI Spec v6.2, Section 6.1.5 _HID (Hardware ID), if the ID is a
string, it must be of the form AAA#### or NNNN####, i.e. 7 chars or 8
chars.

The field bus_id in struct acpi_device_bus_id was originally defined as
char bus_id[9], and later was enlarged to char bus_id[15] in 2007 in the
commit bb0958544f ("ACPI: use more understandable bus_id for ACPI
devices")

Fix the issue by changing the field bus_id to const char *, and use
kstrdup_const() to initialize it.

README 

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.
