- * strncpy_from_unsafe: - Copy a NUL terminated string from unsafe address.
- * @dst:   Destination address, in kernel space.  This buffer must be at
- *         least @count bytes long.
- * @unsafe_addr: Unsafe address.
- * @count: Maximum number of bytes to copy, including the trailing NUL.
- *
- * Copies a NUL-terminated string from unsafe address to kernel buffer.
- *
- * On success, returns the length of the string INCLUDING the trailing NUL.
- *
- * If access fails, returns -EFAULT (some data may have been copied
- * and the trailing NUL added).
- *
- * If @count is smaller than the length of the string, copies @count-1 bytes,
- * sets the last byte of @dst buffer to NUL and returns @count.
- *
- * Same as strncpy_from_kernel_nofault() except that for architectures with
- * not fully separated user and kernel address spaces this function also works
- * for user address tanges.
- *
- * DO NOT USE THIS FUNCTION - it is broken on architectures with entirely
- * separate kernel and user address spaces, and also a bad idea otherwise.
