6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 4b2fd81f2af7147e844ecec0c5c07a16bca6b86e ]
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].
A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on its destination buffer argument which is
_not_ the case for `strncpy`!
Also remove extraneous if-statement as it can never be entered. The
return value from `strncpy` is it's first argument. In this case,
`...dyndbg_cmd` is an array:
| char dyndbg_cmd[VPU_DYNDBG_CMD_MAX_LEN];
^^^^^^^^^^
This can never be NULL which means `strncpy`'s return value cannot be
NULL here. Just use `strscpy` which is more robust and results in
simpler and less ambiguous code.
Moreover, remove needless `... - 1` as `strscpy`'s implementation
ensures NUL-termination and we do not need to carefully dance around
ending boundaries with a "- 1" anymore.
