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 e6584c3964 ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()").
