tools/perf/tests: Fix compilation error with strncpy in tests/tool_pmu
perf fails to compile on systems with GCC version11 as below: In file included from /usr/include/string.h:519, from /home/athir/perf-tools-next/tools/include/linux/bitmap.h:5, from /home/athir/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/util/pmu.h:5, from /home/athir/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/util/evsel.h:14, from /home/athir/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/util/evlist.h:14, from tests/tool_pmu.c:3: In function ‘strncpy’, inlined from ‘do_test’ at tests/tool_pmu.c:25:3: /usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:95:10: error: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ specified bound 128 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation] 95 | return __builtin___strncpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 96 | __glibc_objsize (__dest)); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The compile error is from strncpy refernce in do_test: strncpy(str, tool_pmu__event_to_str(ev), sizeof(str)); This behaviour is not observed with GCC version 8, but observed with GCC version 11 . This is message from gcc for detecting truncation while using strncpu. Use snprintf instead of strncpy here to be safe.
