Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.7 375/388] x86/mce/dev-mcelog: Fix -Wstringop-truncation warning about strncpy()
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2020 21:07:52 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200618010805.600873-375-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200618010805.600873-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

[ Upstream commit 7ccddc4613db446dc3cbb69a3763ba60ec651d13 ]

The kbuild test robot reported this warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/dev-mcelog.c: In function 'dev_mcelog_init_device':
  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/dev-mcelog.c:346:2: warning: 'strncpy' output \
    truncated before terminating nul copying 12 bytes from a string of the \
    same length [-Wstringop-truncation]

This is accurate, but I don't care that the trailing NUL character isn't
copied. The string being copied is just a magic number signature so that
crash dump tools can be sure they are decoding the right blob of memory.

Use memcpy() instead of strncpy().
