From 337f2837c5b29c1587dd7efc4befc9f6f84a2746 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2018 12:13:15 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] test_hexdump: use memcpy instead of strncpy commit b1286ed7158e9b62787508066283ab0b8850b518 upstream. New versions of gcc reasonably warn about the odd pattern of strncpy(p, q, strlen(q)); which really doesn't make sense: the strncpy() ends up being just a slow and odd way to write memcpy() in this case. Apparently there was a patch for this floating around earlier, but it got lost.
