Linux kernel source tree
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We expect `app_name` to be NUL-terminated: dev_info(&oct->pci_dev->dev, "Running %s (%llu Hz)\n", app_name, CVM_CAST64(cs->corefreq)); ... and it seems NUL-padding is not required, let's opt for strscpy(). For `oct->boardinfo.name/serial_number` let's opt for strscpy() as well since it is expected to be NUL-terminated and does not require NUL-padding as `oct` is zero-initialized in octeon_device.c +707: | buf = vzalloc(size); | if (!buf) | return NULL; | | oct = (struct octeon_device *)buf; Link: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strncpy-on-nul-terminated-strings [1] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90 Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231005-strncpy-drivers-net-ethernet-cavium-liquidio-octeon_device-c-v1-1-9a207cef9438@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

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.
