Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo bef0b8970f perf probe: Fix unchecked usage of strncpy()
The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.

In this case the 'target' buffer is coming from a list of build-ids that
are expected to have a len of at most (SBUILD_ID_SIZE - 1) chars, so
probably we're safe, but since we're using strncpy() here, use strlcpy()
instead to provide the intended safety checking without the using the
problematic strncpy() function.

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

  util/probe-file.c: In function 'probe_cache__open.isra.5':
  util/probe-file.c:427:3: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 41 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
     strncpy(sbuildid, target, SBUILD_ID_SIZE);

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
