The src parameter of strncpy_from_user is supposed to take a string from
userspace, so it should be annotated with __user. Doing so fixes the following
and similar warnings from sparse:
kernel/sys.c:491:51: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
kernel/sys.c:491:51: expected char const *src
kernel/sys.c:491:51: got void [noderef] <asn:1>*arg
kernel/sys.c:2061:54: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
kernel/sys.c:2061:54: expected char const *src
kernel/sys.c:2061:54: got char [noderef] <asn:1>*<noident>
