Favor a more robust and less ambiguous interface over `strncpy`. Use `strtomem` here since `console_buf` is not expected to be NUL-terminated.
Also mark char buffer as `__nonstring` as per Kees' suggestion here [1] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90 [1] Link: www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strncpy-on-nul-terminated-strings Cc: linux-harden...@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinst...@google.com> --- Changes in v2: - Keep usage of ARRAY_SIZE (thanks Bill) - Remove unnecessary import (thanks Kees and Bill) - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230807-arch-um-v1-1-86dbbfb59...@google.com --- Notes: I only build tested this patch. I am also making an assumption that `console_buf` need not be NUL-terminated.
