From 994fed2dd2166f86b62ec53c7424660145f138ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Weil Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2011 21:41:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Loongson: Fix potentially wrong string handling This error was reported by cppcheck: arch/mips/loongson/common/machtype.c:56: error: Dangerous usage of 'str' (strncpy doesn't always 0-terminate it) If strncpy copied MACHTYPE_LEN bytes, the destination string str was not terminated. The patch adds one more byte to str and makes sure that this byte is always 0.
