When appending "[defcmd]" to 'kdb_prompt_str', the size of the string
already in the buffer should be taken into account.
An option could be to switch from strncat() to strlcat() which does the
correct test to avoid such an overflow.
However, this actually looks as dead code, because 'defcmd_in_progress'
can't be true here.
See a more detailed explanation at [1].

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.
