4c52729377 kernel.h: split out kstrtox() and simple_strtox() to a separate header
kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out kstrtox() and
simple_strtox() helpers.

At the same time convert users in header and lib folders to use new
header.  Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to
avoid twisted indirected includes for existing users.

900fdc4573 lib: vsprintf: Fix handling of number field widths in vsscanf
The existing code attempted to handle numbers by doing a strto[u]l(),
ignoring the field width, and then repeatedly dividing to extract the
field out of the full converted value. If the string contains a run of
valid digits longer than will fit in a long or long long, this would
overflow and no amount of dividing can recover the correct value.

This patch fixes vsscanf() to obey number field widths when parsing
the number.

A new _parse_integer_limit() is added that takes a limit for the number
of characters to parse. The number field conversion in vsscanf is changed
to use this new function.

If a number starts with a radix prefix, the field width  must be long
enough for at last one digit after the prefix. If not, it will be handled
like this:

 sscanf("0x4", "%1i", &i): i=0, scanning continues with the 'x'
 sscanf("0x4", "%2i", &i): i=0, scanning continues with the '4'

This is consistent with the observed behaviour of userland sscanf.

Note that this patch does NOT fix the problem of a single field value
overflowing the target type. So for example:

  sscanf("123456789abcdef", "%x", &i);

Will not produce the correct result because the value obviously overflows
INT_MAX. But sscanf will report a successful conversion.

Note that where a very large number is used to mean "unlimited", the value
INT_MAX is used for consistency with the behaviour of vsnprintf().

36f9ff9e03 lib: Fix fall-through warnings for Clang
In preparation to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang, fix multiple
warnings by explicitly adding multiple break statements instead of
letting the code fall through to the next case, and by replacing a
number of /* fall through */ comments with the new pseudo-keyword
macro fallthrough.

Notice that Clang doesn't recognize /* Fall through */ comments as
implicit fall-through markings.

ef0f268533 kstrto*: do not describe simple_strto*() as obsolete/replaced
The documentation of the kstrto*() functions describes kstrto*() as
"replacements" of the "obsolete" simple_strto*() functions.  Both of these
terms are inaccurate: they're not replacements because they have different
behaviour, and the simple_strto*() are not obsolete because there are
cases where they have benefits over kstrto*().

Remove usage of the terms "replacement" and "obsolete" in reference to
simple_strto*(), and instead use the term "preferred over".

b642e44e8a kstrto*: correct documentation references to simple_strto*()
The documentation of the kstrto*() functions reference the simple_strtoull
function by "used as a replacement for [the obsolete] simple_strtoull".
All these functions describes themselves as replacements for the function
simple_strtoull, even though a function like kstrtol() would be more aptly
described as a replacement of simple_strtol().

Fix these references by making the documentation of kstrto*() reference
the closest simple_strto*() equivalent available.  The functions
kstrto[u]int() do not have direct simple_strto[u]int() equivalences, so
these are made to refer to simple_strto[u]l() instead.

Furthermore, add parentheses after function names, as is standard in
kernel documentation.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

  b3:   83 fa 05                cmp    edx,0x5

Patch also helps on embedded archs which generally only like "int".  On
arm "and 0xff" is generated which is waste because all values used in
comparisons are positive.

690d137f44 Reduce the number of expensive division instructions done by _parse_integer()
_parse_integer() does one or two division instructions (which are slow)
per digit parsed to perform the overflow check.

Furthermore, these are particularly expensive examples of division
instruction as the number of clock cycles required to complete them may
go up with the position of the most significant set bit in the dividend:

	if (*res > div_u64(ULLONG_MAX - val, base))

which is as maximal as possible.

Worse, on 32-bit arches, more than one of these division instructions
may be required per digit.

So, assuming we don't support a base of more than 16, skip the check if the
top nibble of the result is not set at this point.

[ Changed it to not dereference the pointer all the time - even if the
  compiler can and does optimize it away, the code just looks cleaner.
  And edited the top nybble test slightly to make the code generated on
  x86-64 better in the loop - test against a hoisted constant instead of
  shifting and testing the result ]

1dff46d698 lib/kstrtox: common code between kstrto*() and simple_strto*() functions
Currently termination logic (\0 or \n\0) is hardcoded in _kstrtoull(),
avoid that for code reuse between kstrto*() and simple_strtoull().
Essentially, make them different only in termination logic.

simple_strtoull() (and scanf(), BTW) ignores integer overflow, that's a
bug we currently don't have guts to fix, making KSTRTOX_OVERFLOW hack
necessary.

Almost forgot: patch shrinks code size by about ~80 bytes on x86_64.

75fb8f2693 lib: make _tolower() public
This function is required by *printf and kstrto* functions that are
located in the different modules.  This patch makes _tolower() public.
However, it's good idea to not use the helper outside of mentioned
functions.

c196e32a11 lib: add kstrto*_from_user()
There is quite a lot of code which does copy_from_user() + strict_strto*()
or simple_strto*() combo in slightly different ways.

Before doing conversions all over tree, let's get final API correct.

Enter kstrtoull_from_user() and friends.

Typical code which uses them looks very simple:

	TYPE val;
	int rv;

	rv = kstrtoTYPE_from_user(buf, count, 0, &val);
	if (rv < 0)
		return rv;
	[use val]
	return count;

There is a tiny semantic difference from the plain kstrto*() API -- the
latter allows any amount of leading zeroes, while the former copies data
into buffer on stack and thus allows leading zeroes as long as it fits
into buffer.

This shouldn't be a problem for typical usecase "echo 42 > /proc/x".

The point is to make reading one integer from userspace _very_ simple and
very bug free.

33ee3b2e2e kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) right
1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty,
   libc way to indicate failure.
2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and
   comments pretend they do.
3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants,
   but users want strtou8()
4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong:
   Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist
   because conversion should be strict by default.

The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types.
Enter
	kstrtoull()
	kstrtoll()
	kstrtoul()
	kstrtol()
	kstrtouint()
	kstrtoint()

	kstrtou64()
	kstrtos64()
	kstrtou32()
	kstrtos32()
	kstrtou16()
	kstrtos16()
	kstrtou8()
	kstrtos8()

Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well.

strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and
eventually will be removed altogether.

Use kstrto*() in code today!

Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if
      they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution,
      because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these
      functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and
      __alignof__ at least always works.
