word-at-a-time.h: fix some Kbuild files

2015-10-06T18:52:48Z

arch/tile added word-at-a-time.h after the patch that added generic-y entries; the generic-y entry is now stale. arch/h8300 is newer than the generic-y patch for word-at-a-time.h, and needs a generic-y entry. arch/powerpc seems to have gotten a generic-y entry by mistake in the first patch; this change removes it.

Merge branch 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile

2015-10-04T15:31:13Z

Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf. Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on the pull request, which is why it's going in only now. The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems. strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an overlong result. To make matters worse, it pads a short result with zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers. strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value which returns the original length of the source string. Which means that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and you have to trust the source to be properly terminated. It also makes error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily subtle. strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination (but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG. It also doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for untrusted source data too. So why did I waffle about this for so long? Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing these interminable series of trivial conversion patches. And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse. Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested. So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface. But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches. Use this in places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things that aren't actually known to be broken. * 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy string: provide strscpy() Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

powerpc/ftrace: add powerpc timebase as a trace clock source

2015-08-06T06:36:23Z

Add a new powerpc-specific trace clock using the timebase register, similar to x86-tsc. This gives us - a fast, monotonic, hardware clock source for trace entries, and - a clock that can be used to correlate events across cpus as well as across hypervisor and guests.

Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

2015-07-08T20:41:55Z

Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the generic version, which previously only supported big-endian. Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in any case is also not present for the existing BE-only implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS. Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures that didn't previously have it. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

powerpc: use kbuild generic-y where possible

Replace one line asm-generic include files declared in arch/powerpc/include/asm/ by generic-y declaration which creates arch/powerpc/include/generated/asm equivalent. Signed-off-by: Fabian Frederick Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

net, lib: kill arch_fast_hash library bits

2014-12-10T20:17:46Z

As there are now no remaining users of arch_fast_hash(), lets kill it entirely. This basically reverts commit 71ae8aac3e19 ("lib: introduce arch optimized hash library") and follow-up work, that is f.e., commit 237217546d44 ("lib: hash: follow-up fixups for arch hash"), commit e3fec2f74f7f ("lib: Add missing arch generic-y entries for asm-generic/hash.h") and last but not least commit 6a02652df511 ("perf tools: Fix include for non x86 architectures").

irq_work: Introduce arch_irq_work_has_interrupt()

2014-09-13T16:38:07Z

The nohz full code needs irq work to trigger its own interrupt so that the subsystem can work even when the tick is stopped. Lets introduce arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() that archs can override to tell about their support for this ability. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul E.

lib/scatterlist: make ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN an actual Kconfig

2014-08-08T22:57:26Z

Rather than have architectures #define ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN in an architecture specific scatterlist.h, make it a proper Kconfig option and use that instead. At same time, remove the header files are are now mostly useless and just include asm-generic/scatterlist.h.
