"[PATCH 0/3] RFC - module.h usage cleanups in fs/ and lib/"
 		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/29/589
 --
 
 Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really
 need it.
 
 These are trivial in scope vs. the work done previously.  We now have
 things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or
 subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible.  What is
 remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a
 single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir.
 
 Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from
 independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed.

Linus Torvalds ed2d265d12 The following text was taken from the original review request:
"[RFC - PATCH 0/7] consolidation of BUG support code."
 		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/26/525
 --
 
 The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under
 the one <linux/bug.h> file.  Due to historical reasons, we have
 some BUG code in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for
 BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h,
 but old code in kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time.  As
 a band-aid, kernel.h was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
 
 This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.
 Here is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
 
       CC      lib/string.o
       lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
       lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
       make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
       $
       $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
       #include <linux/bug.h>
       $
 
 We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
 still get a compile fail!  [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.]
 Ugh - very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
 
 With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
 
 1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
    implicit presence of BUG code.
 2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and
    hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
 3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
 4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
 
 During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.
 But to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless
 build failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix
 the problem areas in advance.

Akinobu Mita f43804bf5f string: memchr_inv() speed improvements
- Generate a 64-bit pattern more efficiently

memchr_inv needs to generate a 64-bit pattern filled with a target
character.  The operation can be done by more efficient way.

- Don't call the slow check_bytes() if the memory area is 64-bit aligned

memchr_inv compares contiguous 64-bit words with the 64-bit pattern as
much as possible.  The outside of the region is checked by check_bytes()
that scans for each byte.  Unfortunately, the first 64-bit word is
unexpectedly scanned by check_bytes() even if the memory area is aligned
to a 64-bit boundary.

Both changes were originally suggested by Eric Dumazet.

Michael Holzheu 66f6958e69 lib/string.c: fix strim() semantics for strings that have only blanks
Commit 84c95c9acf ("string: on strstrip(), first remove leading spaces
before running over str") improved the performance of the strim()
function.

Unfortunately this changed the semantics of strim() and broke my code.
Before the patch it was possible to use strim() without using the return
value for removing trailing spaces from strings that had either only
blanks or only trailing blanks.

Now this does not work any longer for strings that *only* have blanks.

Before patch: "   " -> ""    (empty string)
After patch:  "   " -> "   " (no change)

I think we should remove your patch to restore the old behavior.

The description (lib/string.c):

 * Note that the first trailing whitespace is replaced with a %NUL-terminator

=> The first trailing whitespace of a string that only has whitespace
   characters is the first whitespace

The patch restores the old strim() semantics.

KOSAKI Motohiro ca54cb8c9e Subject: Re: [PATCH] strstrip incorrectly marked __must_check
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.

André Goddard Rosa f653398c86 string: factorize skip_spaces and export it to be generally available
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).

Doing the strcmp return value as

	signed char __res = *cs - *ct;

is wrong for two reasons.  The subtraction can overflow because __res
doesn't use a type big enough.  Moreover the compared bytes should be
interpreted as unsigned char as specified by POSIX.

The same problem is fixed in strncmp.

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.

Andrew Morton f4a641d66c [PATCH] multiple exports of strpbrk
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.

Paul Jackson 82da2c3727 [PATCH] lib/string.c cleanup: restore useful memmove const
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.

Jesper Juhl 850b924792 [PATCH] lib/string.c cleanup: remove pointless explicit casts
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.

Jesper Juhl cc75fb71c0 [PATCH] lib/string.c cleanup: remove pointless register keyword
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)

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 0c28130b5c [PATCH] x86_64: make string func definition work as intended
In include/asm-x86_64/string.h there are such comments:

/* Use C out of line version for memcmp */
#define memcmp __builtin_memcmp
int memcmp(const void * cs,const void * ct,size_t count);

This would mean that if the compiler does not decide to use __builtin_memcmp,
it emits a call to memcmp to be satisfied by the C out-of-line version in
lib/string.c.  What happens is that after preprocessing, in lib/string.i you
may find the definition of "__builtin_strcmp".

Actually, by accident, in the object you will find the definition of strcmp
and such (maybe a trick intended to redirect calls to __builtin_memcmp to the
default memcmp when the definition is not expanded); however, this particular
case is not a documented feature as far as I can see.

Also, the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not work, so it's duplicated in the arch.

I simply added some #undef to lib/string.c and removed the (now duplicated)
exports in x86-64 and UML/x86_64 subarchs (the second ones are introduced by
another patch I just posted for -mm).

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
