`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1]. `make_first_field()` should use similar implementation to `make_field()` due to memcpy having more obvious behavior here. The end result yields the same behavior as the previous `strncpy`-based implementation including the NUL-padding.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
