Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix strncpy warning in trace_events_synth.c
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2022 11:17:07 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <77deca8cbfd226981b3f1eab203967381e9b5bd9.camel@kernel.org> (raw)
0-day reported the strncpy error below:
../kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c: In function 'last_cmd_set':
../kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c:65:9: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound depends on the length o\
f the source argument [-Wstringop-truncation]
65 | strncpy(last_cmd, str, strlen(str) + 1);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c:65:32: note: length computed here
65 | strncpy(last_cmd, str, strlen(str) + 1);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
There's no reason to use strncpy here, in fact there's no reason to do
anything but a simple kstrdup() (note we don't even need to check for
failure since last_cmod is expected to be either the last cmd string
or NULL, and the containing function is a void return).
Fixes: 27c888da9867 ("tracing: Remove size restriction on synthetic event cmd error logging")
