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, and drop __HAVE_ARCH_STRSCPY as it is unused.
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)
)
