[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 167/258] perf header: Fix unchecked usage of strncpy()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

[ Upstream commit 7572588085a13d5db02bf159542189f52fdb507e ]

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

  util/header.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_event_update_unit':
  util/header.c:3586:2: error: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
    strncpy(ev->data, evsel->unit, size);
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  util/header.c:3579:16: note: length computed here
    size_t size = strlen(evsel->unit);
                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
