8 commit 5192bde7d98c99f2cd80225649e3c2e7493722f7 upstream.
9
10 The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
11 unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
12 implementation for systems without it.

14 This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:
15
16 util/header.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name':
17 util/header.c:3625:2: error: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
18 strncpy(ev->data, evsel->name, len);
19 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
20 util/header.c:3618:15: note: length computed here
21 size_t len = strlen(evsel->name);
22 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
