I believe this is not correct: the code does not really access memory
beyond the end of the source string. (Recent) gcc just thinks so,
because "__src+__n" is used as a parameter to the routine.

Yeah, the padding is missing.

That will definitely fix the issue, as we assume the generic
implementation is correct ;-)
Now, I've just tried, naively, to enable CONFIG_STRING_SELFTEST=y in my
rts7751r2d build (without your patch), and boot it in qemu:
String selftests succeeded
Woops, turns out lib/test_string.c does not have any testcases for
strncpy()...
So adding test code for the corner cases may be a valuable contribution.
Thanks!
