dma-mapping: always provide the dma_map_ops based implementation

2016-01-21T01:09:18+00:00

Move the generic implementation to  now that all
architectures support it and remove the HAVE_DMA_ATTR Kconfig symbol now
that everyone supports them.

metag: define __smp_xxx

2016-01-12T18:46:55+00:00

This defines __smp_xxx barriers for metag,
for use by virtualization.

smp_xxx barriers are removed as they are
defined correctly by asm-generic/barriers.h

Note: as __smp_XX macros should not depend on CONFIG_SMP, they can not
use the existing fence() macro since that is defined differently between
SMP and !SMP.  For this reason, this patch introduces a wrapper
metag_fence() that doesn't depend on CONFIG_SMP.
fence() is then defined using that, depending on CONFIG_SMP.

metag: reuse asm-generic/barrier.h

2016-01-12T18:46:50+00:00

On metag dma_rmb, dma_wmb, smp_store_mb, read_barrier_depends,
smp_read_barrier_depends, smp_store_release and smp_load_acquire  match
the asm-generic variants exactly. Drop the local definitions and pull in
asm-generic/barrier.h instead.

This is in preparation to refactoring this code area.

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.

* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
  string: provide strscpy()

atomic, arch: Audit atomic_{read,set}()

2015-09-23T07:54:28+00:00

This patch makes sure that atomic_{read,set}() are at least
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE().

We already had the 'requirement' that atomic_read() should use
ACCESS_ONCE(), and most archs had this, but a few were lacking.
All are now converted to use READ_ONCE().

And, by a symmetry and general paranoia argument, upgrade atomic_set()
to use WRITE_ONCE().

metag: Turn irq_ctx_* macros into static inlines

2015-09-15T21:52:47+00:00

The irq_ctx_init()/irq_ctx_exit() functions are only used for 4KiB
stacks, otherwise they are implemented as an empty macro. To prevent
future bit rottage due to the cpu argument not being type checked,
convert the macros to empty static inline functions.
