4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit fd29edc7232bc19f969e8f463138afc5472b3d5f upstream. gcc 8.1.0 generates the following warnings. drivers/staging/speakup/kobjects.c: In function 'punc_store': drivers/staging/speakup/kobjects.c:522:2: warning: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length drivers/staging/speakup/kobjects.c:504:6: note: length computed here drivers/staging/speakup/kobjects.c: In function 'synth_store': drivers/staging/speakup/kobjects.c:391:2: warning: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length drivers/staging/speakup/kobjects.c:388:8: note: length computed here Using strncpy() is indeed less than perfect since the length of data to be copied has already been determined with strlen(). Replace strncpy() with memcpy() to address the warning and optimize the code a little.
