lib/string: Add strscpy_pad() function
[ Upstream commit 458a3bf82df4fe1f951d0f52b1e0c1e9d5a88a3b ] We have a function to copy strings safely and we have a function to copy strings and zero the tail of the destination (if source string is shorter than destination buffer) but we do not have a function to do both at once. This means developers must write this themselves if they desire this functionality. This is a chore, and also leaves us open to off by one errors unnecessarily. Add a function that calls strscpy() then memset()s the tail to zero if the source string is shorter than the destination buffer. Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Tobin C. Harding <tobin@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
