strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
Both of these fields want to be NUL-terminated as per their use in
printk:
F_printk("%u:%s:%s (%u)%s",
__entry->line,
__entry->func, __entry->file, __entry->correct,
__entry->constant ? " CONSTANT" : "")
Use strscpy() as it NUL-terminates the destination buffer, so it doesn't
have to be done manually.

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 reStructuredText 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.
