* lib/string.c: introduce strreplace()Rasmus Villemoes2015-06-251-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Strings are sometimes sanitized by replacing a certain character (often '/') by another (often '!'). In a few places, this is done the same way Schlemiel the Painter would do it. Others are slightly smarter but still do multiple strchr() calls. Introduce strreplace() to do this using a single function call and a single pass over the string. One would expect the return value to be one of three things: void, s, or the number of replacements made. I chose the fourth, returning a pointer to the end of the string. This is more likely to be useful (for example allowing the caller to avoid a strlen call).

* lib: make memzero_explicit more robust against dead store eliminationDaniel Borkmann2015-05-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 0b053c951829 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually find out it could be elimiated as dead store. While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc, and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset(). A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report, which is regarded as not-a-bug. Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm. The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better to be pedantic about it. It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing, not so with barrier_data() variant: static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count) { memset(s, 0, count); barrier_data(s); } int main(void) { char buff[20]; memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff)); return 0; } $ gcc -O2 test.c $ gdb a.out (gdb) disassemble main Dump of assembler code for function main: 0x0000000000400400 <+0>: lea -0x28(%rsp),%rax 0x0000000000400405 <+5>: movq $0x0,-0x28(%rsp) 0x000000000040040e <+14>: movq $0x0,-0x20(%rsp) 0x0000000000400417 <+23>: movl $0x0,-0x18(%rsp) 0x000000000040041f <+31>: xor %eax,%eax 0x0000000000400421 <+33>: retq End of assembler dump. $ clang -O2 test.c $ gdb a.out (gdb) disassemble main Dump of assembler code for function main: 0x00000000004004f0 <+0>: xorps %xmm0,%xmm0 0x00000000004004f3 <+3>: movaps %xmm0,-0x18(%rsp) 0x00000000004004f8 <+8>: movl $0x0,-0x8(%rsp) 0x0000000000400500 <+16>: lea -0x18(%rsp),%rax 0x0000000000400505 <+21>: xor %eax,%eax 0x0000000000400507 <+23>: retq End of assembler dump. As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier. Similarly, for ecc which does not support gcc inline asm.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | Make ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER a real config variableLinus Torvalds2014-09-131-2/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It used to be an ad-hoc hack defined by the x86 version of <asm/bitops.h> that enabled a couple of library routines to know whether an integer multiply is faster than repeated shifts and additions. This just makes it use the real Kconfig system instead, and makes x86 (which was the only architecture that did this) select the option. NOTE! Even for x86, this really is kind of wrong. If we cared, we would probably not enable this for builds optimized for netburst (P4), where shifts-and-adds are generally faster than multiplies. This patch does *not* change that kind of logic, though, it is purely a syntactic change with no code changes. This was triggered by the fact that we have other places that really want to know "do I want to expand multiples by constants by hand or not", particularly the hash generation code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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!
