David Disseldorp 3a2699cfbe gen_init_cpio: fix short read file handling
When processing a "file" entry, gen_init_cpio attempts to allocate a
buffer large enough to stage the entire contents of the source file.  It
then attempts to fill the buffer via a single read() call and subsequently
writes out the entire buffer length, without checking that read() returned
the full length, potentially writing uninitialized buffer memory.

Fix this by breaking up file I/O into 64k chunks and only writing the
length returned by the prior read() call.

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.
