Following warning is found when using W=1 to build kernel: In function ‘nvkm_udevice_info’, inlined from ‘nvkm_udevice_mthd’ at drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/engine/device/user.c:195:10: drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/engine/device/user.c:164:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 16 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] 164 | strncpy(args->v0.chip, device->chip->name, sizeof(args->v0.chip)); drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/engine/device/user.c:165:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 64 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] 165 | strncpy(args->v0.name, device->name, sizeof(args->v0.name)); The reason of this warning is strncpy() does not guarantee that the destination buffer will be NUL terminated. If the length of source string is bigger than number we set by third input parameter, only a part of characters is copied to the destination, and no NUL-terminated string is automatically added. There are some potential risks. So use snprintf() to replace strncpy().
