fbdev: uvesafb: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We expect v86d_path to be NUL-terminated based on its use with the C-string format specifier in printf-likes: | pr_err("failed to execute %s\n", v86d_path); and | return snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "%s\n", v86d_path); Let's also opt to pad v86d_path since it may get used in and around userspace: | return call_usermodehelper(v86d_path, argv, envp, UMH_WAIT_PROC); Considering the above, strscpy_pad() is the best replacement as it guarantees both NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the destination buffer. Note that this patch relies on the _new_ 2-argument versions of strscpy() and strscpy_pad() introduced in Commit e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()").
