Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] ACPI: replace deprecated strncpy()
Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2025 07:53:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1743313252.git.x0rw3ll@gmail.com> (raw)

strncpy() is deprecated. This patch series is split over two patches,
the first of which annotates destinations with __nonstring, and the
second replaces strncpy() with strtomem() in the ACPI_COPY_NAMESEG
macro. Additionally, two replacements in drivers/acpi/acpica/tbfind.c:60
with memcpy().

This is an effort to avoid using deprecated interfaces, and potential
compiler warnings in the future.
