Hi:

We tried to replace memcpy with strtomem, but errors was reported during 
compilation:
/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns3/hns3pf/hclge_debugfs.c: In 
function ‘hclge_dbg_fill_content.part.0’:

In the strtomem macro, __builtin_object_size is used to calculate the 
_dest_len.
We tried to print the _dest_len directly, and the result was -1.
How can we solve this?
