From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
commit 5192bde7d98c99f2cd80225649e3c2e7493722f7 upstream.
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/header.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name': util/header.c:3625:2: error: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length [-Werror=stringop-truncation] strncpy(ev->data, evsel->name, len); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ util/header.c:3618:15: note: length computed here size_t len = strlen(evsel->name); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
