perf parse-events: Fix unchecked usage of strncpy()
The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback implementation for systems without it.
This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:
util/parse-events.c: In function 'print_symbol_events': util/parse-events.c:2465:4: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 100 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation] strncpy(name, syms->symbol, MAX_NAME_LEN); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In function 'print_symbol_events.constprop', inlined from 'print_events' at util/parse-events.c:2508:2: util/parse-events.c:2465:4: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 100 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation] strncpy(name, syms->symbol, MAX_NAME_LEN); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In function 'print_symbol_events.constprop', inlined from 'print_events' at util/parse-events.c:2511:2: util/parse-events.c:2465:4: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 100 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation] strncpy(name, syms->symbol, MAX_NAME_LEN); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
