strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers and must
be replaced by strscpy().

BTW, why separate out the len? I use this notation quite a bit for
str_has_prefix() checks.

$ git grep '(len = str_has_pref' kernel/trace
kernel/trace/trace_events.c:    if (!(len = str_has_prefix(fmt, "REC->")))
kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c:     if ((len = str_has_prefix(str + i, ".ustring"))) {
kernel/trace/trace_events_filter.c:     if ((len = str_has_prefix(str + i, ".function"))) {
kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:       if ((len = str_has_prefix(str, "key=")) ||
kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:           (len = str_has_prefix(str, "keys="))) {
kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:       } else if ((len = str_has_prefix(str, "val=")) ||
kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:                  (len = str_has_prefix(str, "vals=")) ||
kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:                  (len = str_has_prefix(str, "values="))) {
kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:       } else if ((len = str_has_prefix(str, "sort="))) {
kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:       } else if ((len = str_has_prefix(str, "clock="))) {
kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:       } else if ((len = str_has_prefix(str, "size="))) {
kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:               if ((len = str_has_prefix(str, "onmatch(")))
kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:               else if ((len = str_has_prefix(str, "onmax(")))
kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:               else if ((len = str_has_prefix(str, "onchange(")))
kernel/trace/trace_stack.c:     if ((len = str_has_prefix(str, "_filter=")))

It's fine being in the if statement as the if is more about "does this have
this prefix" and the length is just a side effect of it to use it to
extract the rest.

This patch is only about removing strncpy(), it doesn't need to modify the
format.

Sure I'll keep that in mind.
