kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) right

2011-04-21T21:32:41+00:00

commit 33ee3b2e2eb9b4b6c64dcf9ed66e2ac3124e748c upstream.

1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty,
   libc way to indicate failure.
2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and
   comments pretend they do.
3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants,
   but users want strtou8()
4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong:
   Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist
   because conversion should be strict by default.

The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types.
Enter
	kstrtoull()
	kstrtoll()
	kstrtoul()
	kstrtol()
	kstrtouint()
	kstrtoint()

	kstrtou64()
	kstrtos64()
	kstrtou32()
	kstrtos32()
	kstrtou16()
	kstrtos16()
	kstrtou8()
	kstrtos8()

Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well.

strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and
eventually will be removed altogether.

Use kstrto*() in code today!

Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if
      they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution,
      because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these
      functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and
      __alignof__ at least always works.

fbcon: Bugfix soft cursor detection in Tile Blitting

2011-03-27T18:36:04+00:00

commit d6244bc0ed0c52a795e6f4dcab3886daf3e74fac upstream.

Use mask 0x10 for "soft cursor" detection on in function tile_cursor.
(Tile Blitting Operation in framebuffer console).

The old mask 0x01 for vc_cursor_type detects CUR_NONE, CUR_LOWER_THIRD
and every second mode value as "software cursor". This hides the cursor
for these modes (cursor.mode = 0). But, only CUR_NONE or "software cursor"
should hide the cursor.
See also 0x10 in functions add_softcursor, bit_cursor and cw_cursor.

console: rename acquire/release_console_sem() to console_lock/unlock()

2011-01-26T00:50:06+00:00

The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex.  As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()

This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.

The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()

This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.

drivers/video/bf537-lq035.c: Add missing IS_ERR test

2011-01-25T06:09:24+00:00

lcd_device_register may return ERR_PTR, so a check is added for this value
before the dereference.  All of the other changes reorganize the error
handling code in this function to avoid duplicating all of it in the added
case.

In the original code, in one case, the global variable fb_buffer was set to
NULL in error code that appears after this variable is initialized.  This
is done now in all error handling code that has this property.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// 
@r@
identifier f;
@@
f(...) { ... return ERR_PTR(...); }

@@
identifier r.f, fld;
expression x;
statement S1,S2;
@@
 x = f(...)
 ... when != IS_ERR(x)
(
 if (IS_ERR(x) ||...) S1 else S2
|
*x->fld
)
//
