2011-10-06fix default __strnlen_user macroMark Salter
The existing __strnlen_user macro simply resolved to strnlen. However, the count returned by strnlen_user should include the NULL byte. This patch fixes the __strnlen_user macro to include the NULL byte in the count. Signed-off-by: Mark Salter <msalter@redhat.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2011-03-17asm-generic headers: add arch-specific __strnlen_user calling in uaccess.hGuanXuetao
This patch changes the implementation of strnlen_user in include/asm-generic/uaccess.h. Originally, it calls strlen() function directly, which may not correctly handle the access of user space in most mmu-enabled architectures. New __strnlen_user is added for using as an architecture specific function. Signed-off-by: Guan Xuetao <gxt@mprc.pku.edu.cn> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2009-06-19asm-generic: uaccess: fix up local access_ok() usageMike Frysinger
There's no reason that I can see to use the short __access_ok() form directly when the access_ok() is clearer in intent and for most people, expands to the same C code (i.e. always specify the first field -- access type). Not all no-mmu systems lack memory protection, so the read/write could feasibly be checked. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2009-06-19asm-generic: uaccess: add missing access_ok() check to strnlen_user()Mike Frysinger
The strnlen_user() function was missing a access_ok() check on the pointer given. We've had cases on Blackfin systems where test programs caused kernel crashes here because userspace passed up a NULL/-1 pointer and the kernel gladly attempted to run strlen() on it.

2009-06-11asm-generic: add a generic uaccess.hArnd Bergmann
Based on discussions with Michal Simek and code from m68knommu and h8300, this version of uaccess.h should be usable by most architectures, by overriding some parts of it. Simple NOMMU architectures can use it out of the box, but a minimal __access_ok() should be added there as well. Cc: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2009-06-11asm-generic: rename page.h and uaccess.hArnd Bergmann
The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple (e.g. nommu) architectures.

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!
