* Subject: Re: [PATCH] strstrip incorrectly marked __must_checkKOSAKI Motohiro2009-12-151-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently, We marked strstrip() as must_check. because it was frequently misused and it should be checked. However, we found one exception. scsi/ipr.c intentionally ignore return value of strstrip. Because it wishes to keep the whitespace at the beginning. Thus we need to keep with and without checked whitespace trim function. This patch adds a new strim() and changes ipr.c to use it.

* string: factorize skip_spaces and export it to be generally availableAndré Goddard Rosa2009-12-151-4/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the following sentence: while (*s && isspace(*s)) s++; If *s == 0, isspace() evaluates to ((_ctype[*s] & 0x20) != 0), which evaluates to ((0x08 & 0x20) != 0) which equals to 0 as well. If *s == 1, we depend on isspace() result anyway. In other words, "a char equals zero is never a space", so remove this check. Also, *s != 0 is most common case (non-null string). Fixed const return as noticed by Jan Engelhardt and James Bottomley. Fixed unnecessary extra cast on strstrip() as noticed by Jan Engelhardt.

* strcmp: fix overflow and possibly signedness errorLinus Torvalds2009-11-181-6/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Doing the strcmp return value as signed char __res = *cs - *ct; is wrong for two reasons. The subtraction can overflow because __res doesn't use a type big enough. Moreover the compared bytes should be interpreted as unsigned char as specified by POSIX. The same problem is fixed in strncmp.

* Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison functionDavid Brownell2008-05-011-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function, which ignores the trailing newlines found in sysfs inputs. By example: sysfs_streq("a", "b") ==> false sysfs_streq("a", "a") ==> true sysfs_streq("a", "a\n") ==> true sysfs_streq("a\n", "a") ==> true This is intended to simplify parsing of sysfs inputs, letting them avoid the need to manually strip off newlines from inputs.

* [PATCH] Clean up arch-overrides in linux/string.hKyle McMartin2006-04-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some string functions were safely overrideable in lib/string.c, but their corresponding declarations in linux/string.h were not. Correct this, and make strcspn overrideable. Odds of someone wanting to do optimized assembly of these are small, but for the sake of cleanliness, might as well bring them into line with the rest of the file.

* [PATCH] No arch-specific strpbrk implementationsKyle McMartin2006-04-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While cleaning up parisc_ksyms.c earlier, I noticed that strpbrk wasn't being exported from lib/string.c. Investigating further, I noticed a changeset that removed its export and added it to _ksyms.c on a few more architectures. The justification was that "other arches do it." I think this is wrong, since no architecture currently defines __HAVE_ARCH_STRPBRK, there's no reason for any of them to be exporting it themselves. Therefore, consolidate the export to lib/string.c.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sam's tree includes a new check, which found that we're exporting strpbrk() multiple times. It seems that the convention is that this is exported from the arch files, so reove the lib/string.c export.

* [PATCH] lib/string.c cleanup: remove pointless register keywordJesper Juhl2005-10-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removes a few pointless register keywords. register is merely a compiler hint that access to the variable should be optimized, but gcc (3.3.6 in my case) generates the exact same code with and without the keyword, and even if gcc did something different with register present I think it is doubtful we would want to optimize access to these variables - especially since this is generic library code and there are supposed to be optimized versions in asm/ for anything that really matters speed wise.

* [PATCH] x86_64: make string func definition work as intendedPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-05-051-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In include/asm-x86_64/string.h there are such comments: /* Use C out of line version for memcmp */ #define memcmp __builtin_memcmp int memcmp(const void * cs,const void * ct,size_t count); This would mean that if the compiler does not decide to use __builtin_memcmp, it emits a call to memcmp to be satisfied by the C out-of-line version in lib/string.c. What happens is that after preprocessing, in lib/string.i you may find the definition of "__builtin_strcmp". Actually, by accident, in the object you will find the definition of strcmp and such (maybe a trick intended to redirect calls to __builtin_memcmp to the default memcmp when the definition is not expanded); however, this particular case is not a documented feature as far as I can see. Also, the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not work, so it's duplicated in the arch. I simply added some #undef to lib/string.c and removed the (now duplicated) exports in x86-64 and UML/x86_64 subarchs (the second ones are introduced by another patch I just posted for -mm).

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+601
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
