Message-ID: <20230918-strncpy-drivers-edac-edac_mc_sysfs-c-v4-1-38a23d2fcdd8@google.com> Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2023 07:47:29 +0000 From: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@...gle.com> To: Borislav Petkov <bp@...en8.de>, Tony Luck <tony.luck@...el.com>, James Morse <james.morse@....com>, Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@...nel.org>, Robert Richter <rric@...nel.org> Cc: linux-edac@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-hardening@...r.kernel.org, Justin Stitt <justinstitt@...gle.com> Subject: [PATCH v4] EDAC/mc_sysfs: refactor deprecated strncpy `strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1]. We've already calculated bounds, possible truncation with '\0' or '\n' and manually NUL-terminated. The situation is now just a literal byte copy from one buffer to another, let's treat it as such and use a less ambiguous interface in memcpy.
