add an inlined version of iter_div_u64_rem

2008-06-12T08:47:58+00:00

iter_div_u64_rem is used in the x86-64 vdso, which cannot call other kernel code. For this case, provide the always_inlined version, __iter_div_u64_rem. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

common implementation of iterative div/mod

2008-06-12T08:47:56+00:00

We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor. Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc. The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent gcc from performing the transformation. This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it to replace the open-coded versions I know about.

lib: create common ascii hex array

2008-05-15T02:11:14+00:00

Add a common hex array in hexdump.c so everyone can use it. Add a common hi/lo helper to avoid the shifting masking that is done to get the upper and lower nibbles of a byte value. Pull the pack_hex_byte helper from kgdb as it is opencoded many places in the tree that will be consolidated.

add match_strlcpy() us it to make v9fs make uname and remotename parsing more robust

2008-05-15T00:23:25+00:00

match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer. There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious. The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See compat_sys_mount() and do_mount(). The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX. We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096. Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

cpumask: remove bitmap_scnprintf_len and cpumask_scnprintf_len

2008-05-13T15:02:25+00:00

They aren't used. They were briefly used as part of some other patches to provide an alternative format for displaying some /proc and /sys cpumasks. They probably should have been removed when those other patches were dropped, in favor of a different solution.

lmb: Make lmb debugging more useful.

2008-05-13T00:21:55+00:00

Having to muck with the build and set DEBUG just to get lmb_dump_all() to print things isn't very useful. So use pr_info() and use an early boot param "lmb=debug" so we can simply ask users to reboot with this option when we need some debugging from them. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
