[Qemu-devel] [PULL 3/7] linux-user: avoid string truncation warnings in uname field copying

[Laurent Vivier]

From: Daniel P. Berrangé <address@hidden>

In file included from /usr/include/string.h:494,
                 from include/qemu/osdep.h:101,
                 from linux-user/uname.c:20:
In function ‘strncpy’,
    inlined from ‘sys_uname’ at linux-user/uname.c:94:3:
/usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:106:10: warning: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ 
output may be truncated copying 64 bytes from a string of length 64 
[-Wstringop-truncation]
  106 |   return __builtin___strncpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len, __bos (__dest));
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We don't care where the NUL terminator in the original uname
field was. It suffices to copy the entire original field and
simply force a NUL terminator at the end of the new field.
