Thanks for the patch. I will pull this in for 4.19-rc1

I can't get cpupower to compile anymore now that it made its way to linux-next:
  [/linux/tools/power/cpupower]$ make
    CC       lib/cpufreq.o
  [...]
  make[1]: Entering directory '/linux/tools/power/cpupower/bench'
    CC       main.o
    CC       parse.o
  parse.c: In function ‘prepare_config’:
  parse.c:224:4: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘strlcpy’
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
      strlcpy(config->governor, val,
      ^
    CC       system.o
    CC       benchmark.o
    CC       cpufreq-bench
  .//parse.o: In function `prepare_config':
  /linux/tools/power/cpupower/bench/parse.c:224: undefined reference

  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

  make[1]: Leaving directory '/linux/tools/power/cpupower/bench'

Does it need anything special to make?

Ugh, no, I am really ashamed about this patch series for insufficient
testing in general. It is currently "under rework" for an indefinite
time frame as I have had other priorities but I'll add cpupower to the
list...
More precisely, the function is defined in the linux kernel but for
userspace strlcpy is only available through libbsd, and I don't believe
we should pull that in just for this.

I'll send a second patch using snprintf and warning if a truncation
occurs (which is the proper fix that the gcc folks intended people to do
anyway) when I get around to it, but I would recommend to just revert
the patch for now.


Shuah, could you take the patch off please if you haven't pushed it to
linus yet?


Sorry for the time you might have spent on this,
