Siddarth G e0344f9564 tracing: Replace strncpy with memcpy for fixed-length substring copy
checkpatch.pl reports the following warning:
WARNING: Prefer strscpy, strscpy_pad, or __nonstring over strncpy
(see: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90)

In synth_field_string_size(), replace strncpy() with memcpy() to copy 'len'
characters from 'start' to 'buf'. The code manually adds a NUL terminator
after the copy, making memcpy safe here.

README

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.
