Subject: [PATCH] um: refactor deprecated strncpy to strtomem
Date: Mon, 07 Aug 2023 21:17:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230807-arch-um-v1-1-86dbbfb59709@google.com> (raw)

Use `strtomem` here since `console_buf` is not expected to be
NUL-terminated. We should probably also just use `MCONSOLE_MAX_DATA`
instead of using `ARRAY_SIZE()` for every iteration of the loop.

Also mark char buffer as `__nonstring` as per Kees' suggestion here [1]

Finally, follow checkpatch's recommendation of using `min_t` over `min`
