Subject: [PATCH] x86/setup: replace strlcat() with snprintf() in setup_arch()
Date: Thu,  4 Jun 2026 15:17:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604131752.1327556-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)

In preparation to remove strlcat() from the kernel [1], replace two
strlcat() calls with one snprintf() call in setup_arch().

Also drop the explicit size argument of strscpy() to further simplify
the code since strscpy() can determine the size automatically when the
destination buffer has a fixed length.
