4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Wenlin Kang <wenlin.kang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ca976bfb3154c7bc67c4651ecd144fdf67ccaee7 ] The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer unterminated, better use strscpy() instead. This fixes the following warning with gcc 8.2: kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_io.c: In function 'kdb_getstr': kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_io.c:449:3: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound 256 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] strncpy(kdb_prompt_str, prompt, CMD_BUFLEN); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Wenlin Kang <wenlin.kang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@xxxxxxxxxx> Stable-dep-of: 70867efacf43 ("kdb: address -Wformat-security warnings") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_io.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_io.c b/kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_io.c index acc8e13b823b2..5358e8a8b6f11 100644 --- a/kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_io.c +++ b/kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_io.c @@ -459,7 +459,7 @@ static char *kdb_read(char *buffer, size_t bufsize) char *kdb_getstr(char *buffer, size_t bufsize, const char *prompt) { if (prompt && kdb_prompt_str != prompt) - strncpy(kdb_prompt_str, prompt, CMD_BUFLEN); + strscpy(kdb_prompt_str, prompt, CMD_BUFLEN); kdb_printf(kdb_prompt_str); kdb_nextline = 1; /* Prompt and input resets line number */ return kdb_read(buffer, bufsize); -- 2.43.0
