tools/thermal: tmon: fix for segfault
[ Upstream commit 6c59f64b7ecf2bccbe73931d7d573d66ed13b537 ] Fixes a segfault occurring when e.g. <TAB> is pressed multiple times in the ncurses tmon application. The segfault is caused by incrementing cur_thermal_record in the main function without checking if it's value reached NR_THERMAL_RECORD immediately. Since the boundary check only occurred in update_thermal_data a race condition existed, which lead to an attempted read beyond the last element of the trec array. The fix was implemented by moving the cur_thermal_record incrementation to the update_thermal_data function using a temporary variable on which the boundary condition is checked before updating cur_thread_record, so that the variable is never incremented beyond the trec array's boundary. It seems the segfault does not occur on every machine: On a HP EliteBook G4 the segfault happens, while it does not happen on a Thinkpad T540p.
