Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] various strscpy fixes
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2015 15:23:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444159429-4788-1-git-send-email-cmetcalf@ezchip.com> (raw)
This patch series fixes up a couple of architecture issues where
strscpy wasn't configured correctly (missing on h8300, duplicating
local and asm-generic copies on powerpc and tile).
It also adds a use of zero_bytemask() to the final store for
strscpy to avoid writing uninitialized data to the destination.
However, to make this work we had to add support for zero_bytemask()
to the two architectures that didn't have it (alpha and tile),
because they were providing their own local copies, but didn't
provide the zero_bytemask() that was previously only required
when building with CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.
The series can be pulled from:
