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

<title>PCI: Revert "PCI: Call pci_read_bridge_bases() from core instead of arch code"</title>

Revert dff22d2054b5 ("PCI: Call pci_read_bridge_bases() from core instead
of arch code").

Reading PCI bridge windows is not arch-specific in itself, but there is PCI
core code that doesn't work correctly if we read them too early.  For
example, Hannes found this case on an ARM Freescale i.mx6 board:

  pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x01000000-0x01efffff]
  pci 0000:00:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01-ff]
  pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 8: no space for [mem size 0x01000000] (mem window)
  pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 2: failed to assign [mem size 0x00200000]
  pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 1: failed to assign [mem size 0x00004000]
  pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 0: failed to assign [mem size 0x00000100]

The 00:00.0 mem window needs to be at least 3MB: the 01:00.0 device needs
0x204100 of space, and mem windows are megabyte-aligned.

Bus sizing can increase a bridge window size, but never *decrease* it (see
d65245c3297a ("PCI: don't shrink bridge resources")).  Prior to
dff22d2054b5, ARM didn't read bridge windows at all, so the "original size"
was zero, and we assigned a 3MB window.

After dff22d2054b5, we read the bridge windows before sizing the bus.  The
firmware programmed a 16MB window (size 0x01000000) in 00:00.0, and since
we never decrease the size, we kept 16MB even though we only needed 3MB.
But 16MB doesn't fit in the host bridge aperture, so we failed to assign
space for the window and the downstream devices.

I think this is a defect in the PCI core: we shouldn't rely on the firmware
to assign sensible windows.

Ray reported a similar problem, also on ARM, with Broadcom iProc.

Issues like this are too hard to fix right now, so revert dff22d2054b5.

Almost everyone implements dma_set_mask the same way, although some time
that's hidden in -&gt;set_dma_mask methods.

This patch consolidates those into a common implementation that either
calls -&gt;set_dma_mask if present or otherwise uses the default
implementation.  Some architectures used to only call -&gt;set_dma_mask
after the initial checks, and those instance have been fixed to do the
full work.  h8300 implemented dma_set_mask bogusly as a no-ops and has
been fixed.

Unfortunately some architectures overload unrelated semantics like changing
the dma_ops into it so we still need to allow for an architecture override
for now.

Most architectures just call into -&gt;dma_supported, but some also return 1
if the method is not present, or 0 if no dma ops are present (although
that should never happeb). Consolidate this more broad version into
common code.

Also fix h8300 which inorrectly always returned 0, which would have been
a problem if it's dma_set_mask implementation wasn't a similarly buggy
noop.

As a few architectures have much more elaborate implementations, we
still allow for arch overrides.

 (1) call -&gt;mapping_error
 (2) check for a hardcoded error code
 (3) always return 0

This patch provides a common implementation that calls -&gt;mapping_error
if present, then checks for DMA_ERROR_CODE if defined or otherwise
returns 0.

Currently there are three valid implementations of dma_mapping_error:

 (1) call -&gt;mapping_error
 (2) check for a hardcoded error code
 (3) always return 0

This patch provides a common implementation that calls -&gt;mapping_error
if present, then checks for DMA_ERROR_CODE if defined or otherwise
returns 0.

<title>dma-mapping: consolidate dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent</title>

Most architectures do not support non-coherent allocations and either
define dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent to their coherent versions or stub
them out.

Openrisc uses dma_{alloc,free}_attrs to implement them, and only Mips
implements them directly.

This patch moves the Openrisc version to common code, and handles the
DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT case in the mips dma_map_ops instance.

Note that actual non-coherent allocations require a dma_cache_sync
implementation, so if non-coherent allocations didn't work on
an architecture before this patch they still won't work after it.

Since 2009 we have a nice asm-generic header implementing lots of DMA API
functions for architectures using struct dma_map_ops, but unfortunately
it's still missing a lot of APIs that all architectures still have to
duplicate.

This series consolidates the remaining functions, although we still need
arch opt outs for two of them as a few architectures have very
non-standard implementations.

This patch (of 5):

The coherent DMA allocator works the same over all architectures supporting
dma_map operations.

This patch consolidates them and converges the minor differences:

 - the debug_dma helpers are now called from all architectures, including
   those that were previously missing them
 - dma_alloc_from_coherent and dma_release_from_coherent are now always
   called from the generic alloc/free routines instead of the ops
   dma-mapping-common.h always includes dma-coherent.h to get the defintions
   for them, or the stubs if the architecture doesn't support this feature
 - checks for -&gt;alloc / -&gt;free presence are removed.  There is only one
   magic instead of dma_map_ops without them (mic_dma_ops) and that one
   is x86 only anyway.

Besides that only x86 needs special treatment to replace a default devices
if none is passed and tweak the gfp_flags.  An optional arch hook is provided
for that.

<title>elf-em.h: move EM_MICROBLAZE to the common header</title>

The linux/audit.h header uses EM_MICROBLAZE in order to define
AUDIT_ARCH_MICROBLAZE, but it's only available in the microblaze
asm headers.  Move it to the common elf-em.h header so that the
define can be used on non-microblaze systems.  Otherwise we get
build errors that EM_MICROBLAZE isn't defined when we try to use
the AUDIT_ARCH_MICROBLAZE symbol.

Pull tracing update from Steven Rostedt:
 "Mostly this is just clean ups and micro optimizations.

  The changes with more meat are:

   - Allowing the trace event filters to filter on CPU number and
     process ids

   - Two new markers for trace output latency were added (10 and 100
     msec latencies)

   - Have tracing_thresh filter function profiling time

  I also worked on modifying the ring buffer code for some future work,
  and moved the adding of the timestamp around.  One of my changes
  caused a regression, and since other changes were built on top of it
  and already tested, I had to operate a revert of that change.  Instead
  of rebasing, this change set has the code that caused a regression as
  well as the code to revert that change without touching the other
  changes that were made on top of it"
