[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: test_hexdump: avoid string truncation warning
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     test_hexdump-avoid-string-truncation-warning.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: test_hexdump: avoid string truncation warning
Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2024 16:00:54 +0200

gcc can warn when a string is too long to fit into the strncpy()
destination buffer, as it is here depending on the function arguments:

    inlined from 'test_hexdump_prepare_test.constprop' at /home/arnd/arm-soc/lib/test_hexdump.c:116:3:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:108:33: error: '__builtin_strncpy' output truncated copying between 0 and 32 bytes from a string of length 32 [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
  108 | #define __underlying_strncpy    __builtin_strncpy
      |                                 ^
include/linux/fortify-string.h:187:16: note: in expansion of macro '__underlying_strncpy'
  187 |         return __underlying_strncpy(p, q, size);
      |                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The intention here is to copy exactly 'l' bytes without any padding or
NUL-termination, so the most logical change is to use memcpy(), just as
a previous change adapted the other output from strncpy() to memcpy().
