alpha: Eliminate compiler warning from memset macro

2013-11-17T00:33:09+00:00

Compiling with GCC 4.8 yields several instances of

crypto/vmac.c: In function ‘vmac_final’:
crypto/vmac.c:616:9: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value]
  memset(&mac, 0, sizeof(vmac_t));
         ^
arch/alpha/include/asm/string.h:31:25: note: in definition of macro ‘memset’
     ? __builtin_memset((s),0,(n))          \
                         ^
Converting the macro to an inline function eliminates this problem.

However, doing only that causes problems with the GCC 3.x series.  The
inline function cannot be named "memset", as otherwise we wind up with
recursion via __builtin_memset.  Solve this by adjusting the symbols
such that __memset is the inline, and ___memset is the real function.

alpha: Use new generic strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user()

2012-08-19T15:41:18+00:00

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.

Generic semaphore implementation

2008-04-17T14:42:34+00:00

Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility.  Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning.  Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.

[PATCH] rename the provided execve functions to kernel_execve

2006-10-02T14:57:23+00:00

Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but
instead returns the result code directly.  Rename these to kernel_execve to
get the right semantics there.  Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these
architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so
remove these right away.

[PATCH] tty: Remove include of screen_info.h from tty.h

2006-07-10T20:24:16+00:00

screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be
included by tty.h.  This patches removes the include and modifies all users to
directly include screen_info.h.  struct screen_info is mainly used to
communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console.  Note that this
patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it.  If there is a
mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.
