Merge branch 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile

2015-10-04T15:31:13+00:00

Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

Pull locking and atomic updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Main changes in this cycle are:

   - Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives
     (atomic_{or,and,xor}()) and deprecate the old partial APIs
     (atomic_{set,clear}_mask())

     The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across
     architectures and with incomplete support.  Now every architecture
     supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra)

   - Generic support for 'relaxed atomics':

       - _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return()
       - atomic_read_acquire()
       - atomic_set_release()

     This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon)

   - Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs,
     by introducing a new one:

       DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
       DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);

     which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
     value.

     Then allow:

       static_branch_likely()
       static_branch_unlikely()

     to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
     case.  To be able to know the 'type' of the static key we encode it
     in the jump entry (by Peter Zijlstra)

   - Static key self-tests (by Jason Baron)

   - qrwlock optimizations (by Waiman Long)

   - small futex enhancements (by Davidlohr Bueso)

   - ... and misc other changes"

arch/*/io.h: Add ioremap_uc() to all architectures

2015-07-29T08:02:36+00:00

This adds ioremap_uc() only for architectures that do not
include asm-generic.h/io.h as that already provides a default
definition for them for both cases where you have CONFIG_MMU
and you do not, and because of this, the number of architectures
this patch address is less than the architectures that the
ioremap_wt() patch addressed, "arch/*/io.h: Add ioremap_wt() to
all architectures").

In order to reduce the number of architectures we have to
modify by adding new architecture IO APIs we'll have to review
the architectures in this patch, see why they can't add
asm-generic.h/io.h or issues that would be created by doing
so and then spread a consistent inclusion of this header
towards the end of their own header. For instance arch/metag
includes the asm-generic/io.h *before* the ioremap*()
definitions, this should be the other way around but only
once we have guard wrappers for the non-MMU case also for
asm-generic/io.h.

atomic: Collapse all atomic_{set,clear}_mask definitions

2015-07-27T12:06:24+00:00

Move the now generic definitions of atomic_{set,clear}_mask() into
linux/atomic.h to avoid endless and pointless repetition.

Also, provide an atomic_andnot() wrapper for those few archs that can
implement that.

2015-07-27T12:06:24+00:00

Implement atomic logic ops -- atomic_{or,xor,and}.

These will replace the atomic_{set,clear}_mask functions that are

frv: Rewrite atomic implementation

2015-07-27T12:06:23+00:00

Mostly complete rewrite of the FRV atomic implementation, instead of
using assembly files, use inline assembler.

The out-of-line CONFIG option makes a bit of a mess of things, but a
little CPP trickery gets that done too.

FRV already had the atomic logic ops but under a non standard name,
the reimplementation provides the generic names and provides the
intermediate form required for the bitops implementation.

The slightly inconsistent __atomic32_fetch_##op naming is because
__atomic_fetch_##op conlicts with GCC builtin functions.

The 64bit atomic ops use the inline assembly %Ln construct to access
the low word register (r+1), afaik this construct was not previously
used in the kernel and is completely undocumented, but I found it in
the FRV GCC code and it seems to work.

FRV had a non-standard definition of atomic_{clear,set}_mask() which
would work types other than atomic_t, the one user relying on that
(arch/frv/kernel/dma.c) got converted to use the new intermediate
form.

mm: clean up per architecture MM hook header files

2015-07-17T23:39:53+00:00

Commit 2ae416b142b6 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty
header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which
doesn't need to define mm hooks.

As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture
asm/include/Kbuild file.

The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

2015-07-08T20:41:55+00:00

Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.

Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in
any case is also not present for the existing BE-only
implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures
that didn't previously have it.
