[Qemu-devel] [PULL 01/17] dump: fill in the flat header signature more pleasingly to the eye

[Luiz Capitulino]

From: Laszlo Ersek <address@hidden>

The "mh.signature" array field has size 16, and is zeroed by the preceding
memset(). MAKEDUMPFILE_SIGNATURE expands to a string literal with string
length 12 (size 13). There's no need to measure the length of
MAKEDUMPFILE_SIGNATURE at runtime, nor for the extra zero-filling of
"mh.signature" with strncpy().

Use memcpy() with MIN(sizeof, sizeof) for robustness (which is an integer
constant expression, evaluable at compile time.)
