Subject: [GIT PULL] strscpy string copy function

Linus,

Please pull the following changes for 4.3 from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile.git strscpy

Your comment for 4.2 was to get rid of the "make it zero-sized" default thing,
which I did in the v2 patch in July.  I did get a bit of feedback around the
language of the kerneldoc comment, which I updated, and the result is ready
to be pulled, if it seems like the right thing to you now!

Chris Metcalf (3):
       Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures
       string: provide strscpy()
       tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
