From 27242c62b141240079d1ac8d35adcdc70cae8895 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Zanussi Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2019 10:11:59 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Use strncpy instead of memcpy when copying comm for hist triggers Because there may be random garbage beyond a string's null terminator, code that might use the entire comm array e.g. histogram keys, can give unexpected results if that garbage is copied in too, so avoid that possibility by using strncpy instead of memcpy.
