4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ 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);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
