GCC 8.1 warns about possible string truncation:
arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c:1042:2: error: 'strncpy' specified
bound 12 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
strncpy(new_part->header.name, name, 12);
arch/powerpc/platforms/ps3/repository.c:106:2: error: 'strncpy'
output truncated before terminating nul copying 8 bytes from a
string of the same length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
strncpy((char *)&n, text, 8);
Fix it by using memcpy(). To make that safe we need to ensure the
destination is pre-zeroed. Use kzalloc() in the nvram code and
initialise the u64 to zero in the ps3 code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
