There are several places in the kernel that use functionality like
basename(3) with the exception: in case of '/foo/bar/' we expect to get an
empty string. Let's do it common helper for them.

memweight() is the function that counts the total number of bits set in
memory area. Unlike bitmap_weight(), memweight() takes pointer and size
in bytes to specify a memory area which does not need to be aligned to
long-word boundary.

memchr_inv() is mainly used to check whether the whole buffer is filled
with just a specified byte.
The function name and prototype are stolen from logfs and the
implementation is from SLUB.

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.

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).
Fixed const return as noticed by Jan Engelhardt and James Bottomley.

strstrip() can return a modified value of its input argument, when
removing elading whitesapce. So it is surely bug for this function's
return value to be ignored. The caller is probably going to use the
incorrect original pointer.
So mark it __must_check to prevent this frm happening (as it has before).

I notice there are many places doing copy_from_user() which follows
kmalloc():
dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
if (copy_from_user(dst, src, len)) {
kfree(dst);
return -EFAULT
}
memdup_user() is a wrapper of the above code. With this new function, we
don't have to write 'len' twice, which can lead to typos/mistakes. It
also produces smaller code and kernel text.
A quick grep shows 250+ places where memdup_user() *may* be used. I'll
prepare a patchset to do this conversion.

Impact: minor new API
ksplice added a "starts_with" function, which seems like a common need.
When people open-code it they seem to use fixed numbers rather than strlen,
so it's quite a readability win (also, strncmp() almost always wants != 0
on it).
So here's strstarts().

Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function, which ignores
the trailing newlines found in sysfs inputs. By example:
sysfs_streq("a", "b") ==> false
sysfs_streq("a", "a") ==> true
sysfs_streq("a", "a\n") ==> true
sysfs_streq("a\n", "a") ==> true
This is intended to simplify parsing of sysfs inputs, letting them
avoid the need to manually strip off newlines from inputs.

It wants string functions like memcpy() for inline
routines, and these define userland interfaces.
The only clean way to deal with this is to simply
put linux/string.h into unifdef-y and have it
include <string.h> when not-__KERNEL__.

argv_split() is a helper function which takes a string, splits it at
whitespace, and returns a NULL-terminated argv vector. This is
deliberately simple - it does no quote processing of any kind.
[ Seems to me that this is something which is already being done in
the kernel, but I couldn't find any other implementations, either to
steal or replace. Keep an eye out. ]

One of idiomatic ways to duplicate a region of memory is
dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
memcpy(dst, src, len);
which is neat code except a programmer needs to write size twice. Which
sometimes leads to mistakes. If len passed to kmalloc is smaller that len
passed to memcpy, it's straight overwrite-beyond-end. If len passed to
memcpy is smaller than len passed to kmalloc, it's either a) legit
behaviour ;-), or b) cloned buffer will contain garbage in second half.
Slight trolling of commit lists shows several duplications bugs
done exactly because of diverged lenghts:
Linux:
[CRYPTO]: Fix memcpy/memset args.
[PATCH] memcpy/memset fixes
OpenBSD:
kerberosV/src/lib/asn1: der_copy.c:1.4
If programmer is given only one place to play with lengths, I believe, such
mistakes could be avoided.
With kmemdup, the snippet above will be rewritten as:
dst = kmemdup(src, len, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dst)
return -ENOMEM;
This also leads to smaller code (kzalloc effect). Quick grep shows
200+ places where kmemdup() can be used.

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.

- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;
- replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems. The sound part

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!
