perf data: Fix 'strncat may truncate' build failure with recent gcc
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This strncat() is safe because the buffer was allocated with zalloc(),
however gcc doesn't know that. Since the string always has 4 non-null
bytes, just use memcpy() here.
