Provide a function, kmemdup_nul(), that will create a NUL-terminated string
from an unterminated character array where the length is known in advance.
This is better than kstrndup() in situations where we already know the
string length as the strnlen() in kstrndup() is superfluous.

Make a simple helper for matching strings with sysfs
attribute files. In most parts the same as match_string(),
except sysfs_match_string() uses sysfs_streq() instead of
strcmp() for matching. This is more convenient when used
with sysfs attributes.

The strscpy() API is intended to be used instead of strlcpy(),
and instead of most uses of strncpy().
- Unlike strlcpy(), it doesn't read from memory beyond (src + size).
- Unlike strlcpy() or strncpy(), the API provides an easy way to check
for destination buffer overflow: an -E2BIG error return value.
- The provided implementation is robust in the face of the source
buffer being asynchronously changed during the copy, unlike the
current implementation of strlcpy().
- Unlike strncpy(), the destination buffer will be NUL-terminated
if the string in the source buffer is too long.
- Also unlike strncpy(), the destination buffer will not be updated
beyond the NUL termination, avoiding strncpy's behavior of zeroing
the entire tail end of the destination buffer. (A memset() after
the strscpy() can be used if this behavior is desired.)
- The implementation should be reasonably performant on all
platforms since it uses the asm/word-at-a-time.h API rather than
simple byte copy. Kernel-to-kernel string copy is not considered
to be performance critical in any case.

Strings are sometimes sanitized by replacing a certain character (often
'/') by another (often '!'). In a few places, this is done the same way
Schlemiel the Painter would do it. Others are slightly smarter but still
do multiple strchr() calls. Introduce strreplace() to do this using a
single function call and a single pass over the string.
One would expect the return value to be one of three things: void, s, or
the number of replacements made. I chose the fourth, returning a pointer
to the end of the string. This is more likely to be useful (for example
allowing the caller to avoid a strlen call).

kstrdup() is often used to duplicate strings where neither source neither
destination will be ever modified. In such case we can just reuse the
source instead of duplicating it. The problem is that we must be sure
that the source is non-modifiable and its life-time is long enough.
I suspect the good candidates for such strings are strings located in
kernel .rodata section, they cannot be modifed because the section is
read-only and their life-time is equal to kernel life-time.
This small patchset proposes alternative version of kstrdup -
kstrdup_const, which returns source string if it is located in .rodata
otherwise it fallbacks to kstrdup. To verify if the source is in
.rodata function checks if the address is between sentinels
__start_rodata, __end_rodata. I guess it should work with all
architectures.
The main patch is accompanied by four patches constifying kstrdup for
cases where situtation described above happens frequently.
I have tested the patchset on mobile platform (exynos4210-trats) and it
saves 3272 string allocations. Since minimal allocation is 32 or 64
bytes depending on Kconfig options the patchset saves respectively about
100KB or 200KB of memory.
Stats from tested platform show that the main offender is sysfs:
By caller:
2260 __kernfs_new_node
631 clk_register+0xc8/0x1b8
318 clk_register+0x34/0x1b8
51 kmem_cache_create
12 alloc_vfsmnt
By string (with count >= 5):
883 power
876 subsystem
135 parameters
132 device
61 iommu_group
...
This patch (of 5):
Add an alternative version of kstrdup which returns pointer to constant
char array. The function checks if input string is in persistent and
read-only memory section, if yes it returns the input string, otherwise it
fallbacks to kstrdup.
kstrdup_const is accompanied by kfree_const performing conditional memory
deallocation of the string.

crypto: memzero_explicit - make sure to clear out sensitive data
random: add and use memzero_explicit() for clearing data
zatimend has reported that in his environment (3.16/gcc4.8.3/corei7)
memset() calls which clear out sensitive data in extract_{buf,entropy,
entropy_user}() in random driver are being optimized away by gcc.
Add a helper memzero_explicit() (similarly as explicit_bzero() variants)
that can be used in such cases where a variable with sensitive data is
being cleared out in the end. Other use cases might also be in crypto
code. [ I have put this into lib/string.c though, as it's always built-in
and doesn't need any dependencies then. ]

The previous patch made strnicmp into a wrapper for strncasecmp.
This patch makes all in-tree users of strnicmp call strncasecmp
directly, while still making sure that the strnicmp symbol can be used
by out-of-tree modules. It should be considered a temporary hack until
all in-tree callers have been converted.

The strchrnul() variant helpfully returns a the end of the string
instead of a NULL if the requested character is not found. This can
simplify string parsing code since it doesn't need to expicitly check
for a NULL return. If a valid string pointer is passed in, then a valid
null terminated string will always come back out.

Recently, We marked strstrip() as must_check. because it was frequently
misused and it should be checked. However, we found one exception.
scsi/ipr.c intentionally ignore return value of strstrip. Because it
wishes to keep the whitespace at the beginning.
Thus we need to keep with and without checked whitespace trim function.
This patch adds a new strim() and changes ipr.c to use it.

On the following sentence:
while (*s && isspace(*s))
s++;
If *s == 0, isspace() evaluates to ((_ctype[*s] & 0x20) != 0), which
evaluates to ((0x08 & 0x20) != 0) which equals to 0 as well.
If *s == 1, we depend on isspace() result anyway. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space", so remove this check.
Also, *s != 0 is most common case (non-null string).

strstrip() can return a modified value of its input argument, when
removing elading whitesapce. So it is surely bug for this function's
return value to be ignored. The caller is probably going to use the
incorrect original pointer.
So mark it __must_check to prevent this frm happening (as it has before).

I notice there are many places doing copy_from_user() which follows
kmalloc():
dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
if (copy_from_user(dst, src, len)) {
kfree(dst);
return -EFAULT
}
memdup_user() is a wrapper of the above code. With this new function, we
don't have to write 'len' twice, which can lead to typos/mistakes. It
also produces smaller code and kernel text.
A quick grep shows 250+ places where memdup_user() *may* be used. I'll
prepare a patchset to do this conversion.

Impact: minor new API
ksplice added a "starts_with" function, which seems like a common need.
When people open-code it they seem to use fixed numbers rather than strlen,
so it's quite a readability win (also, strncmp() almost always wants != 0
on it).
So here's strstarts().

Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function, which ignores
the trailing newlines found in sysfs inputs. By example:
sysfs_streq("a", "b") ==> false
sysfs_streq("a", "a") ==> true
sysfs_streq("a", "a\n") ==> true
sysfs_streq("a\n", "a") ==> true
This is intended to simplify parsing of sysfs inputs, letting them
avoid the need to manually strip off newlines from inputs.

whitespace, and returns a NULL-terminated argv vector. This is
deliberately simple - it does no quote processing of any kind.
[ Seems to me that this is something which is already being done in
the kernel, but I couldn't find any other implementations, either to
steal or replace. Keep an eye out. ]

One of idiomatic ways to duplicate a region of memory is
dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
memcpy(dst, src, len);
which is neat code except a programmer needs to write size twice. Which
sometimes leads to mistakes. If len passed to kmalloc is smaller that len
passed to memcpy, it's straight overwrite-beyond-end. If len passed to
memcpy is smaller than len passed to kmalloc, it's either a) legit
behaviour ;-), or b) cloned buffer will contain garbage in second half.
Slight trolling of commit lists shows several duplications bugs
done exactly because of diverged lenghts:
Linux:
[CRYPTO]: Fix memcpy/memset args.
[PATCH] memcpy/memset fixes
OpenBSD:
kerberosV/src/lib/asn1: der_copy.c:1.4
If programmer is given only one place to play with lengths, I believe, such
mistakes could be avoided.
With kmemdup, the snippet above will be rewritten as:
dst = kmemdup(src, len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
This also leads to smaller code (kzalloc effect). Quick grep shows
200+ places where kmemdup() can be used.

Some string functions were safely overrideable in lib/string.c, but their
corresponding declarations in linux/string.h were not. Correct this, and
make strcspn overrideable.
Odds of someone wanting to do optimized assembly of these are small, but
for the sake of cleanliness, might as well bring them into line with the
rest of the file.

This patch series creates a strndup_user() function to easy copying C strings
from userspace. Also we avoid common pitfalls like userspace modifying the
final \0 after the strlen_user().

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local"
implementations in several places to use this function.
Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems. The sound part
had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S.
Miller.
I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code
carefully before making changes there.

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!
