0-day reported the strncpy error below:
../kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c: In function 'last_cmd_set':
../kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c:65:9: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound depends on the length o\
f the source argument [-Wstringop-truncation]
65 | strncpy(last_cmd, str, strlen(str) + 1);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../kernel/trace/trace_events_synth.c:65:32: note: length computed here
65 | strncpy(last_cmd, str, strlen(str) + 1);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
There's no reason to use strncpy here, in fact there's no reason to do
anything but a simple kstrdup() (note we don't even need to check for
failure since last_cmod is expected to be either the last cmd string
or NULL, and the containing function is a void return).

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.
