Linus Torvalds authored
This makes <asm/word-at-a-time.h> actually live up to its promise of allowing architectures to help tune the string functions that do their work a word at a time. David had already taken the x86 strncpy_from_user() function, modified it to work on sparc, and then done the extra work to make it generically useful. This then expands on that work by making x86 use that generic version, completing the circle. But more importantly, it fixes up the word-at-a-time interfaces so that it's now easy to also support things like strnlen_user(), and pretty much most random string functions. David reports that it all works fine on sparc, and Jonas Bonn reported that an earlier version of this worked on OpenRISC too. It's pretty easy for architectures to add support for this and just replace their private versions with the generic code. * generic-string-functions: sparc: use the new generic strnlen_user() function x86: use the new generic strnlen_user() function lib: add generic strnlen_user() function word-at-a-time: make the interfaces truly generic x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine

Pull i2c-embedded changes from Wolfram Sang: "Major changes: - lots of devicetree additions for existing drivers. I tried hard to make sure the bindings are proper. In more complicated cases, I requested acks from people having more experience with them than me. That took a bit of extra time and also some time went into discussions with developers about what bindings are and what not. I have the feeling that the workflow with bindings should be improved to scale better. I will spend some more thought on this... - i2c-muxes are succesfully used meanwhile, so we dropped EXPERIMENTAL for them and renamed the drivers to a standard pattern to match the rest of the subsystem. They can also be used with devicetree now. - ixp2000 was removed since the whole platform goes away. - cleanups (strlcpy instead of strcpy, NULL instead of 0) - The rest is typical driver fixes I assume. All patches have been in linux-next at least since v3.4-rc6."

Linus Torvalds authored
This adds a new generic optimized strnlen_user() function that uses the <asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure to portably do efficient string handling. In many ways, strnlen is much simpler than strncpy, and in particular we can always pre-align the words we load from memory. That means that all the worries about alignment etc are a non-issue, so this one can easily be used on any architecture. You obviously do have to do the appropriate word-at-a-time.h macros. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Linus Torvalds authored
This changes the interfaces in <asm/word-at-a-time.h> to be a bit more complicated, but a lot more generic. In particular, it allows us to really do the operations efficiently on both little-endian and big-endian machines, pretty much regardless of machine details. For example, if you can rely on a fast population count instruction on your architecture, this will allow you to make your optimized <asm/word-at-a-time.h> file with that. NOTE! The "generic" version in include/asm-generic/word-at-a-time.h is not truly generic, it actually only works on big-endian. Why? Because on little-endian the generic algorithms are wasteful, since you can inevitably do better. The x86 implementation is an example of that. (The only truly non-generic part of the asm-generic implementation is the "find_zero()" function, and you could make a little-endian version of it. And if the Kbuild infrastructure allowed us to pick a particular header file, that would be lovely) The <asm/word-at-a-time.h> functions are as follows: - WORD_AT_A_TIME_CONSTANTS: specific constants that the algorithm uses. - has_zero(): take a word, and determine if it has a zero byte in it. It gets the word, the pointer to the constant pool, and a pointer to an intermediate "data" field it can set. This is the "quick-and-dirty" zero tester: it's what is run inside the hot loops. - "prep_zero_mask()": take the word, the data that has_zero() produced, and the constant pool, and generate an *exact* mask of which byte had the first zero. This is run directly *outside* the loop, and allows the "has_zero()" function to answer the "is there a zero byte" question without necessarily getting exactly *which* byte is the first one to contain a zero. If you do multiple byte lookups concurrently (eg "hash_name()", which looks for both NUL and '/' bytes), after you've done the prep_zero_mask() phase, the result of those can be or'ed together to get the "either or" case. - The result from "prep_zero_mask()" can then be fed into "find_zero()" (to find the byte offset of the first byte that was zero) or into "zero_bytemask()" (to find the bytemask of the bytes preceding the zero byte). The existence of zero_bytemask() is optional, and is not necessary for the normal string routines. But dentry name hashing needs it, so if you enable DENTRY_WORD_AT_A_TIME you need to expose it. This changes the generic strncpy_from_user() function and the dentry hashing functions to use these modified word-at-a-time interfaces. This gets us back to the optimized state of the x86 strncpy that we lost in the previous commit when moving over to the generic version. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Linus Torvalds authored
The generic strncpy_from_user() is not really optimal, since it is designed to work on both little-endian and big-endian. And on little-endian you can simplify much of the logic to find the first zero byte, since little-endian arithmetic doesn't have to worry about the carry bit propagating into earlier bytes (only later bytes, which we don't care about). But I have patches to make the generic routines use the architecture- specific <asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure, so that we can regain the little-endian optimizations. But before we do that, switch over to the generic routines to make the patches each do just one well-defined thing. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull tile updates from Chris Metcalf: "These changes cover a range of new arch/tile features and optimizations. They've been through LKML review and on linux-next for a month or so. There's also one bug-fix that just missed 3.4, which I've marked for stable." Fixed up trivial conflict in arch/tile/Kconfig (new added tile Kconfig entries clashing with the generic timer/clockevents changes). * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: tile: default to tilegx_defconfig for ARCH=tile tile: fix bug where fls(0) was not returning 0 arch/tile: mark TILEGX as not EXPERIMENTAL tile/mm/fault.c: Port OOM changes to handle_page_fault arch/tile: add descriptive text if the kernel reports a bad trap arch/tile: allow querying cpu module information from the hypervisor arch/tile: fix hardwall for tilegx and generalize for idn and ipi arch/tile: support multiple huge page sizes dynamically mm: add new arch_make_huge_pte() method for tile support arch/tile: support kexec() for tilegx arch/tile: support <asm/cachectl.h> header for cacheflush() syscall arch/tile: Allow tilegx to build with either 16K or 64K page size arch/tile: optimize get_user/put_user and friends arch/tile: support building big-endian kernel arch/tile: allow building Linux with transparent huge pages enabled arch/tile: use interrupt critical sections less
