Subject: [PROBLEM linux-next] make randconfig: kernel/kallsyms.c:492:17: error: ‘strcpy’ source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict]

Hi all,

On vanilla linux-next 20240627 tree, there appears to be something od with this KCONFIG_SEED=0x6C165C4C.

This construct should prevent the kernel/kallsyms.c:492:17: error: ‘strcpy’ source argument is the same as destination
error, so I am perplexed?

491         if (name != buffer)
492                 strcpy(buffer, name);
