[PATCH] tracing/uprobe: Replace strlcpy() with strscpy()

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Nov 30 2023 - 15:56:13 EST


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].
Additionally, it returns the size of the source string, not the
resulting size of the destination string. In an effort to remove strlcpy()
completely[2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy().

The negative return value is already handled by this code so no new
handling is needed here.
