The powerpc strncmp implementation does not correctly handle a zero
length, despite the claim in 0119536cd314ef95553604208c25bc35581f7f0a
(Add hand-coded assembly strcmp).

Additionally, all the length arguments are size_t, not int, so use
PPC_LCMPI and eq instead of cmpwi and le throughout.

<title>powerpc: Fix handling of strncmp with zero len</title>

Commit 0119536c, which added the assembly version of strncmp to
powerpc, mentions that it adds two instructions to the version from
boot/string.S to allow it to handle len=0. Unfortunately, it doesn't
always return 0 when that is the case. The length is passed in r5, but
the return value is passed back in r3. In certain cases, this will
happen to work. Otherwise it will pass back the address of the first
string as the return value.

This patch lifts the len &lt;= 0 handling code from memcpy to handle that
case.

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>

<id>5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

<title>powerpc: Fix lwsync feature fixup vs. modules on 64-bit</title>

<id>3d98ffbffb16f2a1569b83cb78db0b5100e6c937</id>
<content type='text'>
Anton's commit enabling the use of the lwsync fixup mechanism on 64-bit
breaks modules. The lwsync fixup section uses .long instead of the
FTR_ENTRY_OFFSET macro used by other fixups sections, and thus will
generate 32-bit relocations that our module loader cannot resolve.

This changes it to use the same type as other feature sections.

Note however that we might want to consider using 32-bit for all the
feature fixup offsets and add support for R_PPC_REL32 to module_64.c
instead as that would reduce the size of the kernel image. I'll leave
that as an exercise for the reader for now...

Here is a patch from Paul Mackerras that improves the ppc64 copy_tofrom_user.
The loop now does 32 bytes at a time and as well as pairing loads and stores.

A quick test case that reads 8kB over and over shows the improvement:

POWER6: 53% faster
POWER7: 51% faster

#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500
#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
#include &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;

#define BUFSIZE (8 * 1024)
#define ITERATIONS 10000000

int main()
{
	char tmpfile[] = "/tmp/copy_to_user_testXXXXXX";
	int fd;
	char *buf[BUFSIZE];
	unsigned long i;

	fd = mkstemp(tmpfile);
	if (fd &lt; 0) {
		perror("open");
		exit(1);
	}

	if (write(fd, buf, BUFSIZE) != BUFSIZE) {
		perror("open");
		exit(1);
	}

	for (i = 0; i &lt; 10000000; i++) {
		if (pread(fd, buf, BUFSIZE, 0) != BUFSIZE) {
			perror("pread");
			exit(1);
		}
	}

	unlink(tmpfile);

	return 0;
}

do_lwsync_fixups doesn't work on 64bit, we end up writing lwsyncs to the
wrong addresses:

0:mon&gt; di c0000001000bfacc
c0000001000bfacc  7c2004ac      lwsync

Since the lwsync section has negative offsets we need to use a signed int
pointer so we sign extend the value.

Not strictly necessary for -rt as -rt does not have non sleeping
rwlocks, but it's odd to not have a consistent naming convention.

No functional change.

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.

Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever

No functional change.
