Bjorn Helgaas c91d3376e5 vsprintf: add %pR support for IRQ and DMA resources
Print addresses (IO port numbers and memory addresses) in hex, but print
others (IRQs and DMA channels) in decimal.  Only print the end if it's
different from the start.

Bjorn Helgaas 2840537228 vsprintf: fix io/mem resource width
The leading "0x" consumes field width, so leave space for it in addition to
the 4 or 8 hex digits.  This means we'll print "0x0000-0x01df" rather than
"0x00-0x1df", for example.

Andy Spencer 8fccae2c95 sscanf(): fix %*s%n
When using %*s, sscanf should honor conversion specifiers immediately
following the %*s.  For example, the following code should find the
position of the end of the string "hello".

  int end;
  char buf[] = "hello    world";
  sscanf(buf, "%*s%n", &end);
  printf("%d\n", end);

Ideally, sscanf would advance the fmt and str pointers the same as it
would without the *, but the code for that is rather complicated and is
not included in the patch.

Steven Rostedt 91adcd2c4b vsprintf: add %ps that is the same as %pS but is like %pf
On PowerPC64 function pointers do not point directly at the functions,
but instead point to pointers to the functions. The output of %pF expects
to point to a pointer to the function, whereas %pS will show the function
itself.

mcount returns the direct pointer to the function and not the pointer to
the pointer. Thus %pS must be used to show this. The function tracer
requires printing of the functions without offsets and uses the %pf
instead.

 %pF produces run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f
 %pf produces just run_local_timers

For PowerPC64, we need to use the direct pointer, and we only have
%pS which will produce .run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f

This patch creates a %ps that matches the %pf as %pS matches %pF.

Frederic Weisbecker 0c8b946e3e vsprintf: introduce %pf format specifier
A printf format specifier which would allow us to print a pure
function name has been suggested by Andrew Morton a couple of
months ago.

The current %pF is very convenient to print a function symbol,
but often we only want to print the name of the function, without
its asm offset.

That's what  %pf does in this patch.  The lowecase f has been chosen
for its intuitive meaning of a 'weak kind of %pF'.

The support for this new format would be welcome by the tracing code
where the need to print pure function names is often needed. This is
also true for other parts of the kernel:

$ git-grep -E "kallsyms_lookup\(.+?\)"
arch/blackfin/kernel/traps.c:   symname = kallsyms_lookup(address, &symsize, &offset, &modname, namebuf);
arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:               name = kallsyms_lookup(pc, &size, &offset, NULL, tmpstr);
arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh5/unwind.c:        sym = kallsyms_lookup(pc, NULL, &offset, NULL, namebuf);
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:       kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long) syscall, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/kprobes.c:               sym = kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)p->addr, NULL,
kernel/lockdep.c:       return kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)key, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)rec->ops->func, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, &modname, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(*ptr, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/trace_functions.c: kallsyms_lookup(ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/trace_output.c:    kallsyms_lookup(address, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);

Changes in v2:

- Add the explanation of the %pf role for vsnprintf() and bstr_printf()

- Change the comments by dropping the "asm offset" notion and only
  define the %pf against the actual function offset notion.

Sitsofe Wheeler found and bisected that while unifying the
vsprintf format decoding in:

  fef20d9: vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users

The sign flag has been dropped out in favour of
precise types (ie: LONG/ULONG).

But the format helper number() still needs this flag to keep track of
the signedness unless it will consider all numbers as unsigned.

Also add an explicit cast to int (for %d) while parsing with va_arg()
to ensure the highest bit is well extended on the 64 bits number that
hosts the value in case of negative values.

Frederic Weisbecker fef20d9c13 vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users
An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to
make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster.

Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting
job from tracing time to output time.

Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and
insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace
file.

The new implementation stores the address of the format string and
the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact
and faster to insert.
Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved
with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done.

The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from
vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain
in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits.

Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most
possible common bits from these functions.
The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although
they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters
is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see
other parts that could be worth factorized.

Changes in V2:

- Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside
  a structure.

Changes in v3:

- Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the
  printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string()
  Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to
  avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the
  changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns.
  It would be too risky.

- Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains).

- Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p

Changes in v4:

- drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char *
  (thanks to Vegard Nossum for having pointed this out).

Linus Torvalds d97106ab53 Make %p print '(null)' for NULL pointers
Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL
pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as
just its numeric value.

However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly
want to print out resources for debugging.  And sometimes they don't
even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL.  Print it out as
such, rather than oopsing.

This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching
all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of
"[NULL]" to match glibc).

Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides.  I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64

Linus Torvalds 0fe1ef24f7 vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats
They print out a pointer in symbolic format, if possible (ie using
symbolic KALLSYMS information).  The '%pS' format is for regular direct
pointers (which can point to data or code and that you find on the stack
during backtraces etc), while '%pF' is for C function pointer types.

On most architectures, the two mean exactly the same thing, but some
architectures use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where the
function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in turn contains
the actual pointer to the code).  The '%pF' code automatically does the
appropriate function descriptor dereference on such architectures.

Linus Torvalds 4d8a743cdd vsprintf: add infrastructure support for extended '%p' specifiers
This expands the kernel '%p' handling with an arbitrary alphanumberic
specifier extension string immediately following the '%p'.  Right now
it's just being ignored, but the next commit will start adding some
specific pointer type extensions.

NOTE! The reason the extension is appended to the '%p' is to allow
minimal gcc type checking: gcc will still see the '%p' and will check
that the argument passed in is indeed a pointer, and yet will not
complain about the extended information that gcc doesn't understand
about (on the other hand, it also won't actually check that the pointer
type and the extension are compatible).

Alphanumeric characters were chosen because there is no sane existing
use for a string format with a hex pointer representation immediately
followed by alphanumerics (which is what such a format string would have
traditionally resulted in).

Denys Vlasenko 9b706aee7d x86: trivial printk optimizations
In arch/x86/boot/printf.c gets rid of unused tail of digits: const char
*digits = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; (we are using 0-9a-f
only)

Uses smaller/faster lowercasing (by ORing with 0x20)
if we know that we work on numbers/digits. Makes
strtoul smaller, and also we are getting rid of

  static const char small_digits[] = "0123456789abcdefx";
  static const char large_digits[] = "0123456789ABCDEFX";

since this works equally well:

  static const char digits[16] = "0123456789ABCDEF";

Size savings:

$ size vmlinux.org vmlinux
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 877320  112252   90112 1079684  107984 vmlinux.org
 877048  112252   90112 1079412  107874 vmlinux

It may be also a tiny bit faster because code has less
branches now, but I doubt it is measurable.

Yi Yang 06b2a76d25 Add new string functions strict_strto* and convert kernel params to use them
Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for
implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate
things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are
calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are
just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and
1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores
succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input
is acctually invalid.

This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements
strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly
validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and
returns an error:

write error: Invalid argument

Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of
simple_strtox to reject any invalid input.

Here are some test results:

Denis Vlasenko 4277eedd79 vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 2: base 10 conversion speedup, v2
Optimize integer-to-string conversion in vsprintf.c for base 10.  This is
by far the most used conversion, and in some use cases it impacts
performance.  For example, top reads /proc/$PID/stat for every process, and
with 4000 processes decimal conversion alone takes noticeable time.

Using code from

http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/bcd/decimal.html
(with permission from the author, Douglas W. Jones)

binary-to-decimal-string conversion is done in groups of five digits at
once, using only additions/subtractions/shifts (with -O2; -Os throws in
some multiply instructions).

On i386 arch gcc 4.1.2 -O2 generates ~500 bytes of code.

This patch is run tested. Userspace benchmark/test is also attached.
I tested it on PIII and AMD64 and new code is generally ~2.5 times
faster. On AMD64:

# ./vsprintf_verify-O2
Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration
Patched decimal conv:  .......... 62 ns per iteration
Testing correctness
12895992590592 ok...        [Ctrl-C]
# ./vsprintf_verify-O2
Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration
Patched decimal conv:  .......... 62 ns per iteration
Testing correctness
26025406464 ok...        [Ctrl-C]

More realistic test: top from busybox project was modified to
report how many us it took to scan /proc (this does not account
any processing done after that, like sorting process list),
and then I test it with 4000 processes:

#!/bin/sh
i=4000
while test $i != 0; do
    sleep 30 &
    let i--
done
busybox top -b -n3 >/dev/null

on unpatched kernel:

top: 4120 processes took 102864 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 91757 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 92517 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 92581 microseconds to scan

on patched kernel:

top: 4120 processes took 75460 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 66451 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 67267 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 67618 microseconds to scan

The speedup comes from much faster generation of /proc/PID/stat
by sprintf() calls inside the kernel.

Denis Vlasenko b39a734097 vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 1 (easy and obvious stuff)
* There is no point in having full "0...9a...z" constant vector,
  if we use only "0...9a...f" (and "x" for "0x").

* Post-decrement usually needs a few more instructions, so use
  pre decrement instead where makes sense:
-       while (i < precision--) {
+       while (i <= --precision) {

* if base != 10 (=> base 8 or 16), we can avoid using division
  in a loop and use mask/shift, obtaining much faster conversion.
  (More complex optimization for base 10 case is in the second patch).

Overall, size vsprintf.o shows ~80 bytes smaller text section
with this patch applied.

Johannes Berg c6b40d16d1 fix sscanf %n match at end of input string
I was playing with some code that sometimes got a string where a %n
match should have been done where the input string ended, for example
like this:

  sscanf("abc123", "abc%d%n", &a, &n);  /* doesn't work */
  sscanf("abc123a", "abc%d%n", &a, &n); /* works */

However, the scanf function in the kernel doesn't convert the %n in that
case because it has already matched the complete input after %d and just
completely stops matching then. This patch fixes that.

The recent vsnprintf() fix introduced an off-by-one, and it's now
possible to overrun the target buffer by one byte.

The "end" pointer points to past the end of the buffer, so if we
have to truncate the result, it needs to be done though "end[-1]".

Jeremy Fitzhardinge f796937a06 [PATCH] Fix bounds check in vsnprintf, to allow for a 0 size and NULL buffer
This change allows callers to use a 0-byte buffer and a NULL buffer pointer
with vsnprintf, so it can be used to determine how large the resulting
formatted string will be.

Previously the code effectively treated a size of 0 as a size of 4G (on
32-bit systems), with other checks preventing it from actually trying to
emit the string - but the terminal \0 would still be written, which would
crash if the buffer is NULL.

This change changes the boundary check so that 'end' points to the putative
location of the terminal '\0', which is only written if size > 0.

vsnprintf still allows the buffer size to be set very large, to allow
unbounded buffer sizes (to implement sprintf, etc).

Tim Schmielau 4e57b68178 [PATCH] fix missing includes
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.
