[PATCH v6 05/12] elfcore: make prpsinfo always get a nul terminated task comm

From: Yafang Shao
Date: Mon Oct 25 2021 - 04:34:13 EST


kernel test robot reported a -Wstringop-truncation warning after I
extend task comm from 16 to 24. Below is the detailed warning:

fs/binfmt_elf.c: In function 'fill_psinfo.isra':
>> fs/binfmt_elf.c:1575:9: warning: 'strncpy' output may be truncated copying 16 bytes from a string of length 23 [-Wstringop-truncation]
1575 | strncpy(psinfo->pr_fname, p->comm, sizeof(psinfo->pr_fname));
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This patch can fix this warning.

Replacing strncpy() with strscpy_pad() can avoid this warning.

This patch also replace the hard-coded 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN to make it
more compatible with task comm size change.

I also verfied if it still work well when I extend the comm size to 24.
struct elf_prpsinfo is used to dump the task information in userspace
coredump or kernel vmcore. Below is the verfication of vmcore,

It works well as expected.
