Linux kernel source tree

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1]. `efi_loader_signature` has space for 4 bytes. We are copying "Xen" (3 bytes) plus a NUL-byte which makes 4 total bytes. With that being said, there is currently not a bug with the current `strncpy()` implementation in terms of buffer overreads but we should favor a more robust string interface either way. A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer while being functionally the same in this case.

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.
