Subject: [PATCH] libselinux: silence -Wstringop-overflow warning from gcc
 10.3.1
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When building libselinux on Fedora 33 with gcc 10.3.1, the compiler
reports:

    label_file.c: In function ‘lookup_all.isra’:
    label_file.c:940:4: error: ‘strncpy’ specified bound depends on the
    length of the source argument [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
      940 |    strncpy(clean_key, key, len - 1);
          |    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    label_file.c:927:8: note: length computed here
      927 |  len = strlen(key);
          |        ^~~~~~~~~~~
    cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

As clean_key is the result of malloc(len), there is no issue here. But
using strncpy can be considered as strange, because the size of the
string is already known and the NUL terminator is always added later, in
function ‘lookup_all.isra.

Replace strncpy with memcpy to silence this gcc false-positive warning.
