[ Here's the new patch ] From: Amey Telawane <ameyt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Strcpy is inherently not safe, and strlcpy() should be used instead. __trace_find_cmdline() uses strcpy() because the comms saved must have a terminating nul character, but it doesn't hurt to add the extra protection of using strlcpy() instead of strcpy().
