[ Upstream commit 6a85e34c4d07d2ec0c153067baff338ac0db55ca ]

Make it match its definition (size_t vs unsigned long). And declare
it in a shared header to fix the -Wmissing-prototypes warning, as it
is defined in the user code and called in the kernel code.

The ARCH=um build has its own idea about strscpy()'s definition. Adjust
the callers to remove the redundant sizeof() arguments ahead of treewide
changes, since it needs a manual adjustment for the newly named
sized_strscpy() export.

The threads allocated inside the kernel have only a single page of
stack. Unfortunately, the vfprintf function in standard glibc may use
too much stack-space, overflowing it.

To make os_info safe to be used by helper threads, use the kernel
vscnprintf function into a smallish buffer and write out the information
to stderr.

For the detection code to check whether SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP works
correctly we needed some error cases while stopping to be non-fatal.
However, at this point stop_ptraced_child must always succeed, and we
can therefore simplify it slightly to exit immediately on error.

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

`gate_buf` should always be NUL-terminated and does not require
NUL-padding. It is used as a string arg inside an argv array given to
`run_helper()`. Due to this, let's use `strscpy` as it guarantees
NUL-terminated on the destination buffer preventing potential buffer
overreads [2].

This exact invocation was changed from `strcpy` to `strncpy` in commit
7879b1d94badb ("um,ethertap: use strncpy") back in 2015. Let's continue
hardening our `str*cpy` apis and use the newer and safer `strscpy`!
