From ce2ff9cccf0c5f123f9d1e3d5e4fc07d1c2c159d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Philippe=20Mathieu-Daud=C3=A9?= Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2021 19:45:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Do not allow deprecated g_memdup() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit g_memdup() is insecure and as been deprecated in GLib 2.68. QEMU provides the safely equivalent g_memdup2() wrapper. Do not allow more g_memdup() calls in the repository, provide a hint to use g_memdup2().
