Series string: Allow 2-argument strscpy() | expand

Commit Message

Kees Cook Feb. 5, 2024, 12:35 p.m. UTC
Using sizeof(dst) for the "size" argument in strscpy() is the
overwhelmingly common case. Instead of requiring this everywhere, allow a
2-argument version to be used that will use the sizeof() internally. There
are other functions in the kernel with optional arguments[1], so this
isn't unprecedented, and improves readability. Update and relocate the
kern-doc for strscpy() too.

Adjust ARCH=um build to notice the changed export name, as it doesn't
do full header includes for the string helpers.

This could additionally let us save a few hundred lines of code:
 1177 files changed, 2455 insertions(+), 3026 deletions(-)
with a treewide cleanup using Coccinelle:

@needless_arg@
expression DST, SRC;
@@

        strscpy(DST, SRC
-, sizeof(DST)
        )

I normally don't do this when macro args are being expanded into
function arguments. I've only done it for when macro args are used in
expressions. Am I missing a side-effect here, or is this more about
stylistic consistency?

I'm not 100% sure it is needed, but I'm always wary when using macro
parameters without parentheses, except in the most simple use-cases.
