This adds support for compiling with a rough equivalent to the glibc
_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 feature, providing compile-time and runtime buffer
overflow checks for string.h functions when the compiler determines the
size of the source or destination buffer at compile-time. Unlike glibc,
it covers buffer reads in addition to writes.
GNU C __builtin_*_chk intrinsics are avoided because they would force a
much more complex implementation. They aren't designed to detect read
overflows and offer no real benefit when using an implementation based
on inline checks. Inline checks don't add up to much code size and
allow full use of the regular string intrinsics while avoiding the need
for a bunch of _chk functions and per-arch assembly to avoid wrapper
overhead.
This detects various overflows at compile-time in various drivers and
some non-x86 core kernel code. There will likely be issues caught in
regular use at runtime too.
Future improvements left out of initial implementation for simplicity,
as it's all quite optional and can be done incrementally:
* Some of the fortified string functions (strncpy, strcat), don't yet
place a limit on reads from the source based on __builtin_object_size of
the source buffer.
* Extending coverage to more string functions like strlcat.
* It should be possible to optionally use __builtin_object_size(x, 1) for
some functions (C strings) to detect intra-object overflows (like
glibc's _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2), but for now this takes the conservative
approach to avoid likely compatibility issues.
* The compile-time checks should be made available via a separate config
option which can be enabled by default (or always enabled) once enough
time has passed to get the issues it catches fixed.

"This is great to have. While it was out-of-tree code, it would have
blocked at least CVE-2016-3858 from being exploitable (improper size
argument to strlcpy()). I've sent a number of fixes for
out-of-bounds-reads that this detected upstream already"

Pull USB updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big USB patchset for 4.12-rc1.
Lots of good stuff here, after many many many attempts, the kernel
finally has a working typeC interface, many thanks to Heikki and
Guenter and others who have taken the time to get this merged. It
wasn't an easy path for them at all.
There's also a staging driver that uses this new api, which is why
it's coming in through this tree.
Along with that, there's the usual huge number of changes for gadget
drivers, xhci, and other stuff. Johan also finally refactored pretty
much every driver that was looking at USB endpoints to do it in a
common way, which will help prevent any "badly-formed" devices from
causing problems in drivers. That too wasn't a simple task.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"

Make a simple helper for matching strings with sysfs
attribute files. In most parts the same as match_string(),
except sysfs_match_string() uses sysfs_streq() instead of
strcmp() for matching. This is more convenient when used

The strscpy() API is intended to be used instead of strlcpy(),
and instead of most uses of strncpy().
- Unlike strlcpy(), it doesn't read from memory beyond (src + size).
- Unlike strlcpy() or strncpy(), the API provides an easy way to check
for destination buffer overflow: an -E2BIG error return value.
- The provided implementation is robust in the face of the source
buffer being asynchronously changed during the copy, unlike the
current implementation of strlcpy().
- Unlike strncpy(), the destination buffer will be NUL-terminated
if the string in the source buffer is too long.
- Also unlike strncpy(), the destination buffer will not be updated
beyond the NUL termination, avoiding strncpy's behavior of zeroing
the entire tail end of the destination buffer. (A memset() after
the strscpy() can be used if this behavior is desired.)
- The implementation should be reasonably performant on all
platforms since it uses the asm/word-at-a-time.h API rather than
simple byte copy. Kernel-to-kernel string copy is not considered
to be performance critical in any case.

Strings are sometimes sanitized by replacing a certain character (often
'/') by another (often '!'). In a few places, this is done the same way
Schlemiel the Painter would do it. Others are slightly smarter but still
do multiple strchr() calls. Introduce strreplace() to do this using a
single function call and a single pass over the string.
One would expect the return value to be one of three things: void, s, or
the number of replacements made. I chose the fourth, returning a pointer
to the end of the string. This is more likely to be useful (for example
allowing the caller to avoid a strlen call).

In commit 0b053c951829 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead
of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in
case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually
find out it could be elimiated as dead store.
While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts
from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc,
and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example
that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset().
A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report,
which is regarded as not-a-bug.
Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it
doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own
implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm.
The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested
with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current
kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better
to be pedantic about it.
It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we
would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing,
not so with barrier_data() variant:
static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count)
{
memset(s, 0, count);
barrier_data(s);
}
int main(void)
{
char buff[20];
memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff));
return 0;
}

As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define
this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise
unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier. Similarly, for ecc which
does not support gcc inline asm.

This patch makes all in-tree users of strnicmp call strncasecmp

lib/string.c contains two functions, strnicmp and strncasecmp, which do
roughly the same thing, namely compare two strings case-insensitively up
to a given bound. They have slightly different implementations, but the
only important difference is that strncasecmp doesn't handle len==0
appropriately; it effectively becomes strcasecmp in that case. strnicmp
correctly says that two strings are always equal in their first 0
characters.
strncasecmp is the POSIX name for this functionality. So rename the
non-broken function to the standard name. To minimize the impact on the
rest of the kernel (and since both are exported to modules), make strnicmp
a wrapper for strncasecmp.

It used to be an ad-hoc hack defined by the x86 version of
<asm/bitops.h> that enabled a couple of library routines to know whether
an integer multiply is faster than repeated shifts and additions.
This just makes it use the real Kconfig system instead, and makes x86
(which was the only architecture that did this) select the option.
NOTE! Even for x86, this really is kind of wrong. If we cared, we would
probably not enable this for builds optimized for netburst (P4), where
shifts-and-adds are generally faster than multiplies. This patch does
*not* change that kind of logic, though, it is purely a syntactic change
with no code changes.
This was triggered by the fact that we have other places that really
want to know "do I want to expand multiples by constants by hand or
not", particularly the hash generation code.

For strncpy() and friends the source string may or may not have an actual
NUL character at the end. The documentation is confusing in this because
it specifically mentions that you are passing a "NUL-terminated" string.
Wikipedia says that "C-string" is an alternative name we can use instead.

The strchrnul() variant helpfully returns a the end of the string
instead of a NULL if the requested character is not found. This can
simplify string parsing code since it doesn't need to expicitly check
for a NULL return. If a valid string pointer is passed in, then a valid
null terminated string will always come back out.

In LTO symbols implicitely referenced by the compiler need
to be visible. Earlier these symbols were visible implicitely
from being exported, but we disabled implicit visibility fo
EXPORTs when modules are disabled to improve code size. So
now these symbols have to be marked visible explicitely.
Do this for __stack_chk_fail (with stack protector)
and memcmp.

Pull <linux/bug.h> cleanup from Paul Gortmaker:
"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.

- 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.

Commit 84c95c9acf0 ("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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
