kernel test robot reported a -Wstringop-truncation warning after I extend task comm from 16 to 24. Below is the detailed warning: fs/binfmt_elf.c: In function 'fill_psinfo.isra': >> fs/binfmt_elf.c:1575:9: warning: 'strncpy' output may be truncated copying 16 bytes from a string of length 23 [-Wstringop-truncation] 1575 | strncpy(psinfo->pr_fname, p->comm, sizeof(psinfo->pr_fname)); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This patch can fix this warning. struct elf_prpsinfo is used to dump the task information in userspace coredump or kernel vmcore. Use TASK_COMM_LEN_16 instead of hard-coded 16 to make it more grepable, and use strscpy_pad() instead of strncpy() to make it always get a nul terminated task comm.
