Thanks, Simon. I had already reviewed the loop in
seccomp_names_from_actions_logged() and couldn't spot an issue so my
next step was to take a look at strscpy() itself. Your reply was well
timed. :)

@Kees, this is a false positive. I picked strscpy() because of its sane
return codes for easy error handling but its word-at-a-time complexity
is overkill for this sysctl. Are you alright with this KASAN false
positive or would you like me to change over to strlcpy()?
