[PATCH for-next 17/25] fortify: Fix dropped strcpy() compile-time write overflow check

flat view

From: Kees Cook <hidden>

Also in: linux-hardening, lkml
Subsystem: fortify_source, the rest · Maintainers: Kees Cook, Linus Torvalds

The implementation for intra-object overflow in str*-family functions
accidentally dropped compile-time write overflow checking in strcpy(),
leaving it entirely to run-time. Add back the intended check.

Fixes: 6a39e62abbaf ("lib: string.h: detect intra-object overflow in fortified string functions")
