commit cdc94a37493135e355dfc0b0e086d84e3eadb50d upstream.

fls counts bits starting from 1 to 32 (returns 0 for zero argument).  If
we add 1 we shift right one bit more and loose precision from divisor,
what cause function incorect results with some numbers.

Corrected code was tested in user-space, see bugzilla:

<title>devres: always use dev_name() in devm_ioremap_resource()</title>

commit 8d84b18f5678d3adfdb9375dfb0d968da2dc753d upstream.

devm_ioremap_resource() prefers calling devm_request_mem_region() with a
resource name instead of a device name -- this looks pretty iff a resource
name isn't specified via a device tree with a "reg-names" property (in this
case, a resource name is set to a device node's full name), but if it is,
it doesn't really scale since these names are only unique to a given device
node, not globally; so, looking at the output of 'cat /proc/iomem', you do
not have an idea which memory region belongs to which device (see "dirmap",
"regs", and "wbuf" lines below):

08000000-0bffffff : dirmap
48000000-bfffffff : System RAM

I think that devm_request_mem_region() should be called with dev_name()
despite the region names won't look as pretty as before (however, we gain
more consistency with e.g. the serial driver:

commit cd4d09ec6f6c12a2cc3db5b7d8876a325a53545b upstream.

Move them to a separate header and have the following
dependency:

  x86/cpufeatures.h &lt;- x86/processor.h &lt;- x86/cpufeature.h

This makes it easier to use the header in asm code and not
include the whole cpufeature.h and add guards for asm.

commit 153a4334c439cfb62e1d31cee0c790ba4157813d upstream.

asm/atomic.h doesn't really need asm/processor.h anymore. Everything
it uses has moved to other header files. So remove that include.

processor.h is a nasty header that includes lots of
other headers and makes it prone to include loops. Removing the
include here makes asm/atomic.h a "leaf" header that can
be safely included in most other headers.

The only fallout is in the lib/atomic tester which relied on
this implicit include. Give it an explicit include.
(the include is in ifdef because the user is also in ifdef)

<title>assoc_array: Fix shortcut creation</title>

commit bb2ba2d75a2d673e76ddaf13a9bd30d6a8b1bb08 upstream.

Fix the creation of shortcuts for which the length of the index key value
is an exact multiple of the machine word size.  The problem is that the
code that blanks off the unused bits of the shortcut value malfunctions if
the number of bits in the last word equals machine word size.  This is due
to the "&lt;&lt;" operator being given a shift of zero in this case, and so the
mask that should be all zeros is all ones instead.  This causes the
subsequent masking operation to clear everything rather than clearing
nothing.

Ordinarily, the presence of the hash at the beginning of the tree index key
makes the issue very hard to test for, but in this case, it was encountered
due to a development mistake that caused the hash output to be either 0
(keyring) or 1 (non-keyring) only.  This made it susceptible to the
keyctl/unlink/valid test in the keyutils package.

The fix is simply to skip the blanking if the shift would be 0.  For
example, an index key that is 64 bits long would produce a 0 shift and thus
a 'blank' of all 1s.  This would then be inverted and AND'd onto the
index_key, incorrectly clearing the entire last word.

Fixes: 3cb989501c26 ("Add a generic associative array implementation.")

example, an index key that is 64 bits long would produce a 0 shift and thus
a 'blank' of all 1s.  This would then be inverted and AND'd onto the
index_key, incorrectly clearing the entire last word.

<title>lib/string.c: remove duplicated function</title>

commit cd514e727b18ff4d189b8e268db13729a4175091 upstream.

lib/string.c contains two functions, strnicmp and strncasecmp, which do
roughly the same thing, namely compare two strings case-insensitively up
to a given bound.  They have slightly different implementations, but the
only important difference is that strncasecmp doesn't handle len==0
appropriately; it effectively becomes strcasecmp in that case.  strnicmp
correctly says that two strings are always equal in their first 0
characters.

strncasecmp is the POSIX name for this functionality.  So rename the
non-broken function to the standard name.  To minimize the impact on the
rest of the kernel (and since both are exported to modules), make strnicmp
a wrapper for strncasecmp.

commit 7d63fb3af87aa67aa7d24466e792f9d7c57d8e79 upstream.

This removes needless use of '%p', and refactors the printk calls to
use pr_*() helpers instead.

commit 80188b0d77d7426b494af739ac129e0e684acb84 upstream.

XFS uses non-stanard batch sizes for avoiding frequent global
counter updates on it's allocated inode counters, as they increment
or decrement in batches of 64 inodes. Hence the standard percpu
counter batch of 32 means that the counter is effectively a global
counter. Currently Xfs uses a batch size of 128 so that it doesn't
take the global lock on every single modification.

However, Xfs also needs to compare accurately against zero, which
means we need to use percpu_counter_compare(), and that has a
hard-coded batch size of 32, and hence will spuriously fail to
detect when it is supposed to use precise comparisons and hence
the accounting goes wrong.

Add __percpu_counter_compare() to take a custom batch size so we can
use it sanely in XFS and factor percpu_counter_compare() to use it.

<title>string: provide strscpy()</title>

commit 30035e45753b708e7d47a98398500ca005e02b86 upstream.

The strscpy() API is intended to be used instead of strlcpy(),
and instead of most uses of strncpy().

- Unlike strlcpy(), it doesn't read from memory beyond (src + size).

- Unlike strlcpy() or strncpy(), the API provides an easy way to check
  for destination buffer overflow: an -E2BIG error return value.

- The provided implementation is robust in the face of the source
  buffer being asynchronously changed during the copy, unlike the
  current implementation of strlcpy().

- Unlike strncpy(), the destination buffer will be NUL-terminated
  if the string in the source buffer is too long.

- Also unlike strncpy(), the destination buffer will not be updated
  beyond the NUL termination, avoiding strncpy's behavior of zeroing
  the entire tail end of the destination buffer.  (A memset() after
  the strscpy() can be used if this behavior is desired.)

- The implementation should be reasonably performant on all
  platforms since it uses the asm/word-at-a-time.h API rather than
  simple byte copy.  Kernel-to-kernel string copy is not considered
  to be performance critical in any case.

commit 8dfd2f22d3bf3ab7714f7495ad5d897b8845e8c1 upstream.

Callers of sprint_oid() do not check its return value before printing
the result.  In the case where the OID is zero-length, -EBADMSG was
being returned without anything being written to the buffer, resulting
in uninitialized stack memory being printed.  Fix this by writing
"(bad)" to the buffer in the cases where -EBADMSG is returned.
