From 76edc27eda068fb8222c452d522d4c93bcebe557 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Azeem Shaikh Date: Tue, 30 May 2023 16:35:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: Replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1]. In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy(). No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.
