[PATCH] drivers/edac/edac_mc: Remove all strcpy() uses

From: Len Baker
Date: Sun Jul 25 2021 - 12:30:41 EST


strcpy() performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer. This
could result in linear overflows beyond the end of the buffer, leading
to all kinds of misbehaviors. The safe replacement is strscpy().

However, to add labels is better to use the scnprintf to simplify the
arithmetic.

This is a previous step in the path to remove the strcpy() function
entirely from the kernel.
