# \[PATCH v2 03/63\] rpmsg: glink: Replace strncpy() with strscpy\_pad() - From: Kees Cook \ - Date: 2021-08-18 06:06:18 - List: linux-block - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-block/2021/08/1481187 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-arm-msm/2021/08/1481187/t.md ```text The use of strncpy() is considered deprecated for NUL-terminated strings[1]. Replace strncpy() with strscpy_pad() (as it seems this case expects the NUL padding to fill the allocation following the flexible array). This additionally silences a warning seen when building under -Warray-bounds: ./include/linux/fortify-string.h:38:30: warning: '__builtin_strncpy' offset 24 from the object at '__mptr' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'data' with type 'u8[]' {aka 'unsigned char[]'} at offset 24 [-Warray-bounds] 38 | #define __underlying_strncpy __builtin_strncpy | ^ ./include/linux/fortify-string.h:50:9: note: in expansion of macro '__underlying_strncpy' 50 | return __underlying_strncpy(p, q, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/rpmsg/qcom_glink_native.c: In function 'qcom_glink_work': drivers/rpmsg/qcom_glink_native.c:36:5: note: subobject 'data' declared here 36 | u8 data[]; | ^~~~ [1] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strncpy-on-nul-terminated-strings Cc: Andy Gross Cc: Bjorn Andersson Cc: Ohad Ben-Cohen Cc: Mathieu Poirier Cc: Cc: Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: Gustavo A.
