David Herrmann 4d26d1d1e8 Revert "HID: uhid: use strlcpy() instead of strncpy()"
This reverts commit 336fd4f5f2.

Please note that `strlcpy()` does *NOT* do what you think it does.
strlcpy() *ALWAYS* reads the full input string, regardless of the
'length' parameter. That is, if the input is not zero-terminated,
strlcpy() will *READ* beyond input boundaries. It does this, because it
always returns the size it *would* copy if the target was big enough,
not the truncated size it actually copied.

The original code was perfectly fine. The hid device is
zero-initialized and the strncpy() functions copied up to n-1
characters. The result is always zero-terminated this way.

This is the third time someone tried to replace strncpy with strlcpy in
this function, and gets it wrong. I now added a comment that should at
least make people reconsider.

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.
