We are getting false positive gcc warning when we compile with gcc9 (9.1.1):
CC jvmti/libjvmti.o
In file included from /usr/include/string.h:494,
from jvmti/libjvmti.c:5:
In function ‘strncpy’,
inlined from ‘copy_class_filename.constprop’ at jvmti/libjvmti.c:166:3:
/usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:106:10: error: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
106 | return __builtin___strncpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len, __bos (__dest));
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
jvmti/libjvmti.c: In function ‘copy_class_filename.constprop’:
jvmti/libjvmti.c:165:26: note: length computed here
165 | size_t file_name_len = strlen(file_name);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
As per Arnaldo's suggestion use strlcpy(), which does the same thing and keeps
gcc silent.

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.
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.
