The utsname()->nodename string may be 64 bytes long, and it gets
copied without the trailing nul byte into the shorter record->system_name,
as gcc now warns:
In file included from include/linux/bitmap.h:9,
from include/linux/ethtool.h:16,
from drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_ethtool.c:13:
In function 'strncpy',
inlined from 'bnxt_fill_coredump_record' at drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_ethtool.c:2863:2:
include/linux/string.h:254:9: error: '__builtin_strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
Using strlcpy() at least avoids overflowing the destination buffer
and adds proper nul-termination. It may still truncate long names
though, which probably can't be solved here.
Fixes: 6c5657d085 ("bnxt_en: Add support for ethtool get dump.")

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
