[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 05/14] linux-user: avoid string truncation warnings in elf field copying

[Daniel P . Berrangé]

In file included from /usr/include/string.h:494,
                 from include/qemu/osdep.h:101,
                 from linux-user/elfload.c:2:
In function ‘strncpy’,
    inlined from ‘fill_psinfo’ at linux-user/elfload.c:3208:12,
    inlined from ‘fill_note_info’ at linux-user/elfload.c:3390:5,
    inlined from ‘elf_core_dump’ at linux-user/elfload.c:3539:9:
/usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:106:10: warning: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ 
specified bound 16 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
  106 |   return __builtin___strncpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len, __bos (__dest));
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We don't require the field to be NUL terminated, so can just
copy the lower of the string length and the target field size
using memcpy.
