2019-04-28unicode: refactor the rule for regenerating utf8data.hMasahiro Yamada1-5/+4
scripts/mkutf8data is used only when regenerating utf8data.h, which never happens in the normal kernel build. However, it is irrespectively built if CONFIG_UNICODE is enabled. Moreover, there is no good reason for it to reside in the scripts/ directory since it is only used in fs/unicode/. Hence, move it from scripts/ to fs/unicode/. In some cases, we bypass build artifacts in the normal build. The conventional way to do so is to surround the code with ifdef REGENERATE_*. For example, - 7373f4f83c71 ("kbuild: add implicit rules for parser generation") - 6aaf49b495b4 ("crypto: arm,arm64 - Fix random regeneration of S_shipped") I rewrote the rule in a more kbuild'ish style. In the normal build, utf8data.h is just shipped from the check-in file. $ make [ snip ] SHIPPED fs/unicode/utf8data.h CC fs/unicode/utf8-norm.o CC fs/unicode/utf8-core.o CC fs/unicode/utf8-selftest.o AR fs/unicode/built-in.a If you want to generate utf8data.h based on UCD, put *.txt files into fs/unicode/, then pass REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 from the command line. The mkutf8data tool will be automatically compiled to generate the utf8data.h from the *.txt files. $ make REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 [ snip ] HOSTCC fs/unicode/mkutf8data GEN fs/unicode/utf8data.h CC fs/unicode/utf8-norm.o CC fs/unicode/utf8-core.o CC fs/unicode/utf8-selftest.o AR fs/unicode/built-in.a I renamed the check-in utf8data.h to utf8data.h_shipped so that this will work for the out-of-tree build. You can update it based on the latest UCD like this: $ make REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 fs/unicode/ $ cp fs/unicode/utf8data.h fs/unicode/utf8data.h_shipped Also, I added entries to .gitignore and dontdiff.

2019-04-25unicode: reduce the size of utf8data[]Olaf Weber1-2/+2
Remove the Hangul decompositions from the utf8data trie, and do algorithmic decomposition to calculate them on the fly. To store the decomposition the caller of utf8lookup()/utf8nlookup() must provide a 12-byte buffer, which is used to synthesize a leaf with the decomposition. This significantly reduces the size of the utf8data[] array. Changes made by Gabriel: Rebase to mainline Fix checkpatch errors Extract robustness fixes and merge back to original mkutf8data.c patch Regenerate utf8data.h Signed-off-by: Olaf Weber <olaf@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@collabora.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2019-04-25unicode: introduce UTF-8 character databaseGabriel Krisman Bertazi1-0/+57
The decomposition and casefolding of UTF-8 characters are described in a prefix tree in utf8data.h, which is a generate from the Unicode Character Database (UCD), published by the Unicode Consortium, and should not be edited by hand. The structures in utf8data.h are meant to be used for lookup operations by the unicode subsystem, when decoding a utf-8 string. mkutf8data.c is the source for a program that generates utf8data.h. It was written by Olaf Weber from SGI and originally proposed to be merged into Linux in 2014. The original proposal performed the compatibility decomposition, NFKD, but the current version was modified by me to do canonical decomposition, NFD, as suggested by the community. The changes from the original submission are: * Rebase to mainline. * Fix out-of-tree-build. * Update makefile to build 11.0.0 ucd files. * drop references to xfs. * Convert NFKD to NFD. * Merge back robustness fixes from original patch. Requested by Dave Chinner. The original submission is archived at: <https://linux-xfs.oss.sgi.narkive.com/Xx10wjVY/rfc-unicode-utf-8-support-for-xfs> The utf8data.h file can be regenerated using the instructions in fs/unicode/README.utf8data. - Notes on the update from 8.0.0 to 11.0: The structure of the ucd files and special cases have not experienced any changes between versions 8.0.0 and 11.0.0. 8.0.0 saw the addition of Cherokee LC characters, which is an interesting case for case-folding. The update is accompanied by new tests on the test_ucd module to catch specific cases. No changes to mkutf8data script were required for the updates.
