kallsyms: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. The goal is to remove its use completely [2]. namebuf is eventually cleaned of any trailing llvm suffixes using strstr(). This hints that namebuf should be NUL-terminated. static void cleanup_symbol_name(char *s) { char *res; ... res = strstr(s, ".llvm."); ... } Due to this, use strscpy() over strncpy() as it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer. Drop the -1 from the length calculation as it is no longer needed to ensure NUL-termination.
