Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Resolve stack corruption due to string copy

From: Amey Telawane <ameyt@...eaurora.org>

Strcpy has no limit on string being copied which causes
stack corruption leading to kernel panic. Use strlcpy to
resolve the issue by providing length of string to be copied.

This patch featured in Android Security Bulletin for May 2017,
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2017-05-01#eop-in-kernel-trace-subsystem,
but it is not upstreamed yet and I couldn't find any previous
upstream submission as well.
