There are 2 generic varaints of strncpy_from_user() / strnlen_user() (1). inline version in asm-generic/uaccess.h (2). optimized word-at-a-time version in lib/* This patch disables #1 if #2 selected. This allows arches to continue reusing asm-generic/uaccess.h for rest of code This came up when switching ARC to generic word-at-a-time interface Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- include/asm-generic/uaccess.h | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/include/asm-generic/uaccess.h b/include/asm-generic/uaccess.h index e935318804f8..2ea7f4e0e60e 100644 --- a/include/asm-generic/uaccess.h +++ b/include/asm-generic/uaccess.h @@ -212,6 +212,7 @@ static inline int __get_user_fn(size_t size, const void __user *ptr, void *x) extern int __get_user_bad(void) __attribute__((noreturn)); +#ifndef CONFIG_GENERIC_STRNCPY_FROM_USER /* * Copy a null terminated string from userspace. */ @@ -234,7 +235,11 @@ strncpy_from_user(char *dst, const char __user *src, long count) return -EFAULT; return __strncpy_from_user(dst, src, count); } +#else +extern long strncpy_from_user(char *dest, const char __user *src, long count); +#endif +#ifndef CONFIG_GENERIC_STRNLEN_USER /* * Return the size of a string (including the ending 0) * @@ -255,6 +260,9 @@ static inline long strnlen_user(const char __user *src, long n) return 0; return __strnlen_user(src, n); } +#else +extern __must_check long strnlen_user(const char __user *str, long n); +#endif /* * Zero Userspace -- 2.20.1 _______________________________________________ linux-snps-arc mailing list linux-snps-arc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-snps-arc
