9022ed0e7e strscpy: write destination buffer only once
The point behind strscpy() was to once and for all avoid all the
problems with 'strncpy()' and later broken "fixed" versions like
strlcpy() that just made things worse.

So strscpy not only guarantees NUL-termination (unlike strncpy), it also
doesn't do unnecessary padding at the destination.  But at the same time
also avoids byte-at-a-time reads and writes by _allowing_ some extra NUL
writes - within the size, of course - so that the whole copy can be done
with word operations.

It is also stable in the face of a mutable source string: it explicitly
does not read the source buffer multiple times (so an implementation
using "strnlen()+memcpy()" would be wrong), and does not read the source
buffer past the size (like the mis-design that is strlcpy does).

Finally, the return value is designed to be simple and unambiguous: if
the string cannot be copied fully, it returns an actual negative error,
making error handling clearer and simpler (and the caller already knows
the size of the buffer).  Otherwise it returns the string length of the
result.

However, there was one final stability issue that can be important to
callers: the stability of the destination buffer.

In particular, the same way we shouldn't read the source buffer more
than once, we should avoid doing multiple writes to the destination
buffer: first writing a potentially non-terminated string, and then
terminating it with NUL at the end does not result in a stable result
buffer.

Yes, it gives the right result in the end, but if the rule for the
destination buffer was that it is _always_ NUL-terminated even when
accessed concurrently with updates, the final byte of the buffer needs
to always _stay_ as a NUL byte.

[ Note that "final byte is NUL" here is literally about the final byte
  in the destination array, not the terminating NUL at the end of the
  string itself. There is no attempt to try to make concurrent reads and
  writes give any kind of consistent string length or contents, but we
  do want to guarantee that there is always at least that final
  terminating NUL character at the end of the destination array if it
  existed before ]

This is relevant in the kernel for the tsk->comm[] array, for example.
Even without locking (for either readers or writers), we want to know
that while the buffer contents may be garbled, it is always a valid C
string and always has a NUL character at 'comm[TASK_COMM_LEN-1]' (and
never has any "out of thin air" data).

So avoid any "copy possibly non-terminated string, and terminate later"
behavior, and write the destination buffer only once.

e6584c3964 string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()
Using sizeof(dst) for the "size" argument in strscpy() is the
overwhelmingly common case. Instead of requiring this everywhere, allow a
2-argument version to be used that will use the sizeof() internally. There
are other functions in the kernel with optional arguments[1], so this
isn't unprecedented, and improves readability. Update and relocate the
kern-doc for strscpy() too, and drop __HAVE_ARCH_STRSCPY as it is unused.

Adjust ARCH=um build to notice the changed export name, as it doesn't
do full header includes for the string helpers.

This could additionally let us save a few hundred lines of code:

38b9baf194 lib/string: shrink lib/string.i via IWYU
This diff uses an open source tool include-what-you-use (IWYU) to modify
the include list, changing indirect includes to direct includes. IWYU is
implemented using the IWYUScripts github repository which is a tool that
is currently undergoing development. These changes seek to improve build
times.

This change to lib/string.c resulted in a preprocessed size of
lib/string.i from 26371 lines to 5321 lines (-80%) for the x86
defconfig.

f9cfb1910e string: use __builtin_memcpy() in strlcpy/strlcat
lib/string.c is built with -ffreestanding, which prevents the compiler
from replacing certain functions with calls to their library versions.

On the other hand, this also prevents Clang and GCC from instrumenting
calls to memcpy() when building with KASAN, KCSAN or KMSAN:
 - KASAN normally replaces memcpy() with __asan_memcpy() with the
   additional cc-param,asan-kernel-mem-intrinsic-prefix=1;
 - KCSAN and KMSAN replace memcpy() with __tsan_memcpy() and
   __msan_memcpy() by default.

To let the tools catch memory accesses from strlcpy/strlcat, replace
the calls to memcpy() with __builtin_memcpy(), which KASAN, KCSAN and
KMSAN are able to replace even in -ffreestanding mode.

This preserves the behavior in normal builds (__builtin_memcpy() ends up
being replaced with memcpy()), and does not introduce new instrumentation
in unwanted places, as strlcpy/strlcat are already instrumented.

cfecea6ead lib/string: Move helper functions out of string.c
The core functions of string.c are those that may be implemented by
per-architecture functions, or overloaded by FORTIFY_SOURCE. As a
result, it needs to be built with __NO_FORTIFY. Without this, macros
will collide with function declarations. This was accidentally working
due to -ffreestanding (on some architectures). Make this deterministic
by explicitly setting __NO_FORTIFY and move all the helper functions
into string_helpers.c so that they gain the fortification coverage they
had been missing.

291d47ccad string: improve default out-of-line memcmp() implementation
This just does the "if the architecture does efficient unaligned
handling, start the memcmp using 'unsigned long' accesses", since
Nikolay Borisov found a load that cares.

This is basically the minimal patch, and limited to architectures that
are known to not have slow unaligned handling.  We've had the stupid
byte-at-a-time version forever, and nobody has ever even noticed before,
so let's keep the fix minimal.

A potential further improvement would be to align one of the sources in
order to at least minimize unaligned cases, but the only real case of
bigger memcmp() users seems to be the FIDEDUPERANGE ioctl().  As David
Sterba says, the dedupe ioctl is typically called on ranges spanning
many pages so the common case will all be page-aligned anyway.

All the relevant architectures select HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS,
so I'm not going to worry about the combination of a very rare use-case
and a rare architecture until somebody actually hits it.  Particularly
since Nikolay also tested the more complex patch with extra alignment
handling code, and it only added overhead.

1e1b6d63d6 lib/string.c: implement stpcpy
LLVM implemented a recent "libcall optimization" that lowers calls to
`sprintf(dest, "%s", str)` where the return value is used to
`stpcpy(dest, str) - dest`.

This generally avoids the machinery involved in parsing format strings.
`stpcpy` is just like `strcpy` except it returns the pointer to the new
tail of `dest`.  This optimization was introduced into clang-12.

Implement this so that we don't observe linkage failures due to missing
symbol definitions for `stpcpy`.

Similar to last year's fire drill with: commit 5f074f3e19
("lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp")

The kernel is somewhere between a "freestanding" environment (no full
libc) and "hosted" environment (many symbols from libc exist with the
same type, function signature, and semantics).

As Peter Anvin notes, there's not really a great way to inform the
compiler that you're targeting a freestanding environment but would like
to opt-in to some libcall optimizations (see pr/47280 below), rather
than opt-out.

Arvind notes, -fno-builtin-* behaves slightly differently between GCC
and Clang, and Clang is missing many __builtin_* definitions, which I
consider a bug in Clang and am working on fixing.

Masahiro summarizes the subtle distinction between compilers justly:
  To prevent transformation from foo() into bar(), there are two ways in
  Clang to do that; -fno-builtin-foo, and -fno-builtin-bar.  There is
  only one in GCC; -fno-buitin-foo.

(Any difference in that behavior in Clang is likely a bug from a missing
__builtin_* definition.)

Masahiro also notes:
  We want to disable optimization from foo() to bar(),
  but we may still benefit from the optimization from
  foo() into something else. If GCC implements the same transform, we
  would run into a problem because it is not -fno-builtin-bar, but
  -fno-builtin-foo that disables that optimization.

  In this regard, -fno-builtin-foo would be more future-proof than
  -fno-built-bar, but -fno-builtin-foo is still potentially overkill. We
  may want to prevent calls from foo() being optimized into calls to
  bar(), but we still may want other optimization on calls to foo().

It seems that compilers today don't quite provide the fine grain control
over which libcall optimizations pseudo-freestanding environments would
prefer.

Finally, Kees notes that this interface is unsafe, so we should not
encourage its use.  As such, I've removed the declaration from any
header, but it still needs to be exported to avoid linkage errors in
modules.

c11d3fa011 lib/string.c: update match_string() doc-strings with correct behavior
There were a few attempts at changing behavior of the match_string()
helpers (i.e.  'match_string()' & 'sysfs_match_string()'), to change &
extend the behavior according to the doc-string.

But the simplest approach is to just fix the doc-strings.  The current
behavior is fine as-is, and some bugs were introduced trying to fix it.

As for extending the behavior, new helpers can always be introduced if
needed.

The match_string() helpers behave more like 'strncmp()' in the sense
that they go up to n elements or until the first NULL element in the
array of strings.

This change updates the doc-strings with this info.

0bee0cece2 lib/string: add strnchrnul()
Patch series "lib: rework bitmap_parse", v5.

Similarl to the recently revisited bitmap_parselist(), bitmap_parse() is
ineffective and overcomplicated.  This series reworks it, aligns its
interface with bitmap_parselist() and makes it simpler to use.

The series also adds a test for the function and fixes usage of it in
cpumask_parse() according to the new design - drops the calculating of
length of an input string.

bitmap_parse() takes the array of numbers to be put into the map in the BE
order which is reversed to the natural LE order for bitmaps.  For example,
to construct bitmap containing a bit on the position 42, we have to put a
line '400,0'.  Current implementation reads chunk one by one from the
beginning ('400' before '0') and makes bitmap shift after each successful
parse.  It makes the complexity of the whole process as O(n^2).  We can do
it in reverse direction ('0' before '400') and avoid shifting, but it
requires reverse parsing helpers.

This patch (of 7):

New function works like strchrnul() with a length limited string.

b09757104e lib/string.c: allow searching for NUL with strnchr
Patch series "lib/string: search for NUL with strchr/strnchr".

I noticed an inconsistency where strchr and strnchr do not behave the
same with respect to the trailing NUL.  strchr is standardised and the
kernel function conforms, and the kernel relies on the behavior.  So,
naturally strchr stays as-is and strnchr is what I change.

While writing a few tests to verify that my new strnchr loop was sane, I
noticed that the tests for memset16/32/64 had a problem.  Since it's all
about the lib/string.c file I made a short series of it all...

This patch (of 3):

strchr considers the terminating NUL to be part of the string, and NUL
can thus be searched for with that function.  For consistency, do the
same with strnchr.

458a3bf82d lib/string: Add strscpy_pad() function
We have a function to copy strings safely and we have a function to copy
strings and zero the tail of the destination (if source string is
shorter than destination buffer) but we do not have a function to do
both at once.  This means developers must write this themselves if they
desire this functionality.  This is a chore, and also leaves us open to
off by one errors unnecessarily.

Add a function that calls strscpy() then memset()s the tail to zero if
the source string is shorter than the destination buffer.

5f074f3e19 lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp
A recent optimization in Clang (r355672) lowers comparisons of the
return value of memcmp against zero to comparisons of the return value
of bcmp against zero.  This helps some platforms that implement bcmp
more efficiently than memcmp.  glibc simply aliases bcmp to memcmp, but
an optimized implementation is in the works.

This results in linkage failures for all targets with Clang due to the
undefined symbol.  For now, just implement bcmp as a tailcail to memcmp
to unbreak the build.  This routine can be further optimized in the
future.

Other ideas discussed:

 * A weak alias was discussed, but breaks for architectures that define
   their own implementations of memcmp since aliases to declarations are
   not permitted (only definitions). Arch-specific memcmp
   implementations typically declare memcmp in C headers, but implement
   them in assembly.

 * -ffreestanding also is used sporadically throughout the kernel.

 * -fno-builtin-bcmp doesn't work when doing LTO.

93048c0944 lib: Fix ia64 bootloader linkage
kbuild robot reports that since commit ce76d938dd ("lib: Add memcat_p():

> LD      arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/bootloader

> make[1]: *** [arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/Makefile:37: arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/bootloader] Error 1

The reason is, the above commit, via __memcat_p(), adds a call to
__kmalloc to string.o, which happens to be used in the bootloader, but
there's no kmalloc or slab or anything.

Since the linker would only pull in objects that contain referenced
symbols, moving __memcat_p() to a different compilation unit solves the
problem.

1a3241ff10 lib/strscpy: Shut up KASAN false-positives in strscpy()
strscpy() performs the word-at-a-time optimistic reads.  So it may may
access the memory past the end of the object, which is perfectly fine
since strscpy() doesn't use that (past-the-end) data and makes sure the
optimistic read won't cross a page boundary.

Use new read_word_at_a_time() to shut up the KASAN.

Note that this potentially could hide some bugs.  In example bellow,
stscpy() will copy more than we should (1-3 extra uninitialized bytes):

        char dst[8];
        char *src;

        src = kmalloc(5, GFP_KERNEL);
        memset(src, 0xff, 5);

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

3b3c4babd8 lib/string.c: add multibyte memset functions
Patch series "Multibyte memset variations", v4.

A relatively common idiom we're missing is a function to fill an area of
memory with a pattern which is larger than a single byte.  I first
noticed this with a zram patch which wanted to fill a page with an
'unsigned long' value.  There turn out to be quite a few places in the
kernel which can benefit from using an optimised function rather than a
loop; sometimes text size, sometimes speed, and sometimes both.  The
optimised PowerPC version (not included here) improves performance by
about 30% on POWER8 on just the raw memset_l().

Most of the extra lines of code come from the three testcases I added.

This patch (of 8):

memset16(), memset32() and memset64() are like memset(), but allow the
caller to fill the destination with a value larger than a single byte.
memset_l() and memset_p() allow the caller to use unsigned long and
pointer values respectively.

6974f0c455 include/linux/string.h: add the option of fortified string.h functions
This adds support for compiling with a rough equivalent to the glibc
_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 feature, providing compile-time and runtime buffer
overflow checks for string.h functions when the compiler determines the
size of the source or destination buffer at compile-time.  Unlike glibc,
it covers buffer reads in addition to writes.

GNU C __builtin_*_chk intrinsics are avoided because they would force a
much more complex implementation.  They aren't designed to detect read
overflows and offer no real benefit when using an implementation based
on inline checks.  Inline checks don't add up to much code size and
allow full use of the regular string intrinsics while avoiding the need
for a bunch of _chk functions and per-arch assembly to avoid wrapper
overhead.

This detects various overflows at compile-time in various drivers and
some non-x86 core kernel code.  There will likely be issues caught in
regular use at runtime too.

Future improvements left out of initial implementation for simplicity,
as it's all quite optional and can be done incrementally:

* Some of the fortified string functions (strncpy, strcat), don't yet
  place a limit on reads from the source based on __builtin_object_size of
  the source buffer.

* Extending coverage to more string functions like strlcat.

* It should be possible to optionally use __builtin_object_size(x, 1) for
  some functions (C strings) to detect intra-object overflows (like
  glibc's _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2), but for now this takes the conservative
  approach to avoid likely compatibility issues.

* The compile-time checks should be made available via a separate config
  option which can be enabled by default (or always enabled) once enough
  time has passed to get the issues it catches fixed.

Kees said:
 "This is great to have. While it was out-of-tree code, it would have

8f28472a73 USB patches for 4.12-rc1
Here is the big USB patchset for 4.12-rc1.
 
 Lots of good stuff here, after many many many attempts, the kernel
 finally has a working typeC interface, many thanks to the Heikki and
 Guenter and others who have taken the time to get this merged.  It
 wasn't an easy path for them at all.
 
 There's also a staging driver that uses this new api, which is why it's
 coming in through this tree.
 
 Along with that, there's the usual huge number of changes for gadget
 drivers, xhci, and other stuff.  Johan also finally refactored pretty
 much every driver that was looking at USB endpoints to do it in a common
 way, which will help prevent any "badly-formed" devices from causing
 problems in drivers.  That too wasn't a simple task.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
 issues.

30035e4575 string: provide strscpy()
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.

94df290404 lib/string.c: introduce strreplace()
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).

7829fb09a2 lib: make memzero_explicit more robust against dead store elimination
In commit 0b053c9518 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead
of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in
case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually
find out it could be elimiated as dead store.

While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts
from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc,
and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example
that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset().
A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report,
which is regarded as not-a-bug.

Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it
doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own
implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm.

The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested
with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current
kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better
to be pedantic about it.

It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we
would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing,
not so with barrier_data() variant:

  static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count)
  {
    memset(s, 0, count);
    barrier_data(s);
  }

  int main(void)
  {
    char buff[20];
    memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff));
    return 0;
  }

  End of assembler dump.

As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define
this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise
unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier. Similarly, for ecc which
does not support gcc inline asm.

0b053c9518 lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR
OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR(), as defined when using gcc, is insufficient to
ensure protection from dead store optimization.

For the random driver and crypto drivers, calls are emitted ...

  (gdb) disassemble memzero_explicit

  [...]

... but in case in future we might use facilities such as LTO, then
OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() is not sufficient to protect gcc from a possible
eviction of the memset(). We have to use a compiler barrier instead.

Minimal test example when we assume memzero_explicit() would *not* be
a call, but would have been *inlined* instead:

  static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count)
  {
    memset(s, 0, count);
    <foo>
  }

  int main(void)
  {
    char buff[20];

    snprintf(buff, sizeof(buff) - 1, "test");
    printf("%s", buff);

    memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff));
    return 0;
  }

With <foo> := OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR():

  (gdb) disassemble main
  Dump of assembler code for function main:
  [...]
   0x0000000000400464 <+36>:	callq  0x400410 <printf@plt>

   0x000000000040046b <+43>:	add    $0x28,%rsp
   0x000000000040046f <+47>:	retq
  End of assembler dump.

With <foo> := barrier():

  (gdb) disassemble main
  Dump of assembler code for function main:
  [...]
   0x0000000000400464 <+36>:	callq  0x400410 <printf@plt>

   0x0000000000400488 <+72>:	retq
  End of assembler dump.

As can be seen, movq, movq, movl are being emitted inlined
via memset().

d4c5efdb97 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. ]

Fixes kernel bugzilla: 82041

b0bfb63118 lib: string: Make all calls to strnicmp into calls to strncasecmp
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.
