Subject: [PATCH v2] kdb: Replace deprecated strcpy() with strscpy() and memcpy()
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 18:32:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250814163237.229544-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

strcpy() is deprecated; use strscpy() and memcpy() instead and remove
several manual NUL-terminations.

In parse_grep(), we can safely use memcpy() because we already know the
length of the source string 'cp' and that it is guaranteed to be
NUL-terminated within the first KDB_GREP_STRLEN bytes.

Since the destination buffers 'cmd_cur' and 'cmd_hist[cmd_head]' have
the fixed length CMD_BUFLEN, strscpy() automatically determines their
size using sizeof() when the size argument is omitted. This makes the
explicit size arguments for the existing strscpy() calls unnecessary,
remove them.

No functional changes intended.

Changes in v2:
- Use memcpy() instead of strscpy() in parse_grep() as suggested by Greg
- Compile-tested only so far
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250814120338.219585-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
