[PATCH] Numerous fixes to kernel-doc info in source files.

2007-02-11T18:51:32+00:00

A variety of (mostly) innocuous fixes to the embedded kernel-doc content in
source files, including:

  * make multi-line initial descriptions single line
  * denote some function names, constants and structs as such
  * change erroneous opening '/*' to '/**' in a few places
  * reword some text for clarity

[PATCH] strstrip remove last blank fix

2006-10-28T18:30:54+00:00

strstrip() does not remove the last blank from strings which only consist
of blanks.

Example:
char string[] = "  ";
strstrip(string);

results in " ", but should produce an empty string!

The following patch solves this problem:

trailing whitespace from a string.

[PATCH] Clean up arch-overrides in linux/string.h

2006-04-11T13:18:40+00:00

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.

[PATCH] No arch-specific strpbrk implementations

2006-04-11T13:18:40+00:00

While cleaning up parisc_ksyms.c earlier, I noticed that strpbrk wasn't
being exported from lib/string.c.  Investigating further, I noticed a
changeset that removed its export and added it to _ksyms.c on a few more
architectures.  The justification was that "other arches do it."

I think this is wrong, since no architecture currently defines
__HAVE_ARCH_STRPBRK, there's no reason for any of them to be exporting it
themselves.  Therefore, consolidate the export to lib/string.c.

[PATCH] multiple exports of strpbrk

2006-03-22T15:53:56+00:00

Sam's tree includes a new check, which found that we're exporting strpbrk()
multiple times.

It seems that the convention is that this is exported from the arch files, so
reove the lib/string.c export.

[PATCH] lib/string.c cleanup: restore useful memmove const

2005-10-31T01:37:27+00:00

A couple of (char *) casts removed in a previous cleanup patch in
lib/string.c:memmove() were actually useful, as they suppressed a couple of
warnings:

	assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type

Fix by declaring the local variable const in the first place, so casts
aren't needed to strip the const qualifier.

[PATCH] lib/string.c cleanup: remove pointless explicit casts

2005-10-31T01:37:19+00:00

The first two hunks of the patch really belongs in patch 1, but I missed
them on the first pass and instead of redoing all 3 patches I stuck them in
this one.

[PATCH] lib/string.c cleanup: remove pointless register keyword

2005-10-31T01:37:19+00:00

Removes a few pointless register keywords.  register is merely a compiler
hint that access to the variable should be optimized, but gcc (3.3.6 in my
case) generates the exact same code with and without the keyword, and even
if gcc did something different with register present I think it is doubtful
we would want to optimize access to these variables - especially since this
is generic library code and there are supposed to be optimized versions in
asm/ for anything that really matters speed wise.

(akpm: iirc, keyword register is a gcc no-op unless using -O0)
