0-day reported the strncpy error below: ../kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c: In function 'last_cmd_set': ../kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c:65:9: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound depends on the length o\ f the source argument [-Wstringop-truncation] 65 | strncpy(last_cmd, str, strlen(str) + 1); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c:65:32: note: length computed here 65 | strncpy(last_cmd, str, strlen(str) + 1); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ There's no reason to use strncpy here, in fact there's no reason to do anything but a simple kstrdup() (note we don't even need to check for failure since last_cmod is expected to be either the last cmd string or NULL, and the containing function is a void return).
