2012-08-19alpha: Use new generic strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user()Michael Cree5-963/+0
Similar to x86/sparc/powerpc implementations except: 1) we implement an extremely efficient has_zero()/find_zero() sequence with both prep_zero_mask() and create_zero_mask() no-operations. 2) Our output from prep_zero_mask() differs in that only the lowest eight bits are used to represent the zero bytes nevertheless it can be safely ORed with other similar masks from prep_zero_mask() and forms input to create_zero_mask(), the two fundamental properties prep_zero_mask() must satisfy. Tests on EV67 and EV68 CPUs revealed that the generic code is essentially as fast (to within 0.5% of CPU cycles) of the old Alpha specific code for large quadword-aligned strings, despite the 30% extra CPU instructions executed. In contrast, the generic code for unaligned strings is substantially slower (by more than a factor of 3) than the old Alpha specific code.

2007-12-17alpha: strncpy/strncat fixesIvan Kokshaysky3-15/+15
First of all, thanks to Bob Tracy <rct@frus.com> and Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz> for testing. Especially to Bob, as he has done titanic multi-day git-bisect work that finally helped to reproduce and nail down the bug (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9457). [ev6-]stxncpy.S: it's t12, not t2 register that is supposed to contain the last byte offset upon return. As a result of wrong register use (which was my fault back in 2003, IIRC), under some circumstances extra terminating zero bytes were added to destination string. This particularly led to incorrect DEVPATH strings generated in uevent and therefore to udev problems. strncpy.S: unrelated bug I found while testing the above fix - destination is not properly zero-padded then a byte count exceeds source length. Actually this is addition to strncpy fix from last year.

2007-10-14kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CCSam Ravnborg1-1/+1
The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to pass in additional flags to gcc. This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the tree and enabling one to use: make CFLAGS=... to specify additional gcc commandline options. One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other use cases has been requested too. Patch was tested on following architectures: alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check that nothing got rebuild.

2007-06-24alpha: fix alignment problem in csum_ipv6_magic()Ivan Kokshaysky2-23/+70
Hopefully this fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8635 The struct in6_addr passed to csum_ipv6_magic() is 4 byte aligned, so we can't use the regular 64-bit loads. Since the cost of handling of 4 byte and 1 byte aligned 64-bit data is roughly the same, this code can cope with any src/dst [mis]alignment.

As it turned out after recent SCSI changes, strncpy() was broken - it mixed up the return values from __stxncpy() in registers $24 and $27.

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!
