ACPI: disable -Wstringop-truncation
[ Upstream commit a3403d304708f60565582d60af4316289d0316a0 ]
gcc -Wstringop-truncation warns about copying a string that results in a
missing nul termination:
drivers/acpi/acpica/tbfind.c: In function 'acpi_tb_find_table':
drivers/acpi/acpica/tbfind.c:60:9: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 6 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
60 | strncpy(header.oem_id, oem_id, ACPI_OEM_ID_SIZE);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/acpi/acpica/tbfind.c:61:9: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 8 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
61 | strncpy(header.oem_table_id, oem_table_id, ACPI_OEM_TABLE_ID_SIZE);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The code works as intended, and the warning could be addressed by using
a memcpy(), but turning the warning off for this file works equally well
and may be easier to merge.
