      tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy · 30059d49

      string: provide strscpy() · 30035e45
      Chris Metcalf authored 
      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.

      Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures · a6e2f029
      Chris Metcalf authored 
      Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.

Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in
any case is also not present for the existing BE-only
implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures
that didn't previously have it.

Pull late x86 platform driver updates from Darren Hart:
 "The following came in a bit later and I wanted them to bake in next a
  few more days before submitting, thus the second pull.

  A new intel_pmc_ipc driver, a symmetrical allocation and free fix in
  dell-laptop, a couple minor fixes, and some updated documentation in
  the dell-laptop comments.

  intel_pmc_ipc:
   - Add Intel Apollo Lake PMC IPC driver

  tc1100-wmi:
   - Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "kfree"

  dell-laptop:
   - Fix allocating & freeing SMI buffer page
   - Show info about WiGig and UWB in debugfs
   - Update information about wireless control"

      Pull more vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Assorted VFS fixes and related cleanups (IMO the most interesting in
  that part are f_path-related things and Eric's descriptor-related
  stuff).  UFS regression fixes (it got broken last cycle).  9P fixes.
  fs-cache series, DAX patches, Jan's file_remove_suid() work"

[ I'd say this is much more than "fixes and related cleanups".  The
  file_table locking rule change by Eric Dumazet is a rather big and
  fundamental update even if the patch isn't huge.   - Linus ]

      bluetooth: fix list handling · 9b284cbd
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Commit 835a6a2f ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning")
thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing
out the list pointers and removed it.

But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL
pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just
broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on
a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further).

So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling
(which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to
initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized
implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc())

This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong
An.

[ I would normally expect to get this through the bt tree, but I'm going
  to release -rc1, so I'm just committing this directly   - Linus ]
