Linux kernel source tree
2e114248e0
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
bpf sym names get looked up and compared/cleaned with various string
apis. This suggests they need to be NUL-terminated (strncpy() suggests
this but does not guarantee it).
| static int compare_symbol_name(const char *name, char *namebuf)
| {
| cleanup_symbol_name(namebuf);
| return strcmp(name, namebuf);
| }
| static void cleanup_symbol_name(char *s)
| {
| ...
| res = strstr(s, ".llvm.");
| ...
| }
Use strscpy() as this method guarantees NUL-termination on the
destination buffer.
This patch also replaces two uses of strncpy() used in log.c. These are
simple replacements as postfix has been zero-initialized on the stack
and has source arguments with a size less than the destination's size.
Note that this patch uses the new 2-argument version of strscpy
introduced in commit

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 reStructuredText 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.
