[PATCH v2 1/1] ACPI: processor: idle: Replace strlcat() with better alternative
From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Tue Mar 17 2026 - 04:03:06 EST
strlcpy() and strlcat() are confusing APIs and the former one already gone
from the kernel. In preparation to kill strlcat() replace it with the better
alternative.
