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>genirq: Remove irq argument from irq flow handlers</title>

Most interrupt flow handlers do not use the irq argument. Those few
which use it can retrieve the irq number from the irq descriptor.

Remove the argument.

Search and replace was done with coccinelle and some extra helper
scripts around it. Thanks to Julia for her help!

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.

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

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>lib/decompressors: use real out buf size for gunzip with kernel</title>

When loading x86 64bit kernel above 4GiB with patched grub2, got kernel
gunzip error.

| early console in decompress_kernel
| decompress_kernel:
|       input: [0x807f2143b4-0x807ff61aee]
|      output: [0x807cc00000-0x807f3ea29b] 0x027ea29c: output_len

| Decompressing Linux... gz...

the new buffer is at 0x46fe000000ULL, decompressor_gzip is using
0xffffffb901ffffff as out_len.  gunzip in lib/zlib_inflate/inflate.c cap
that len to 0x01ffffff and decompress fails later.

We could hit this problem with crashkernel booting that uses kexec loading
kernel above 4GiB.

We have decompress_* support:
    1. inbuf[]/outbuf[] for kernel preboot.
    2. inbuf[]/flush() for initramfs
    3. fill()/flush() for initrd.
This bug only affect kernel preboot path that use outbuf[].

Add __decompress and take real out_buf_len for gunzip instead of guessing
wrong buf size.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
  appeared in a linux-next release.  The changes outside of the typical
  drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
  removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
  the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().

  Summary:

   - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
     mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
     kernel's direct map.

     This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
     operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
     'struct block_device_operations').

     For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
     from "System RAM".  Support for allocating the memmap from device
     memory will arrive in a later kernel.

   - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
     ioremap_wt().  memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
     mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects.  The
     replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
     pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.

     Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.

   - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
     driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
     persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.

   - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
     cacheable to improve performance.

   - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
     issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
     'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
     ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
     fixes"
