perf: Fix strncpy() use, always make sure it's NUL terminated
For NUL terminated string, always make sure that there's '\0' at the end. In our case we need a return value, so still use strncpy() and fix up the tail explicitly. (strlcpy() returns the size, not the pointer) Signed-off-by: Chen Gang <gang.chen@asianux.com> Cc: a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: paulus@samba.org <paulus@samba.org> Cc: acme@ghostprotocols.net <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/51623E0B.7070101@asianux.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
