zatimend has reported that in his environment (3.16/gcc4.8.3/corei7)
memset() calls which clear out sensitive data in extract_{buf,entropy,
entropy_user}() in random driver are being optimized away by gcc.Add a helper memzero_explicit() (similarly as explicit_bzero() variants)
that can be used in such cases where a variable with sensitive data is
being cleared out in the end. Other use cases might also be in crypto
code. [ I have put this into lib/string.c though, as it's always built-in
and doesn't need any dependencies then. ]Fixes kernel bugzilla: 82041

The previous patch made strnicmp into a wrapper for strncasecmp.
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.Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes

The "_MODULE" suffix is reserved for tristates compiled as loadable kernel
modules (LKM). The "TEST_MODULE" feature thereby violates this
convention. The feature is used to compile the lib/test_module.c kernel
module.Sadly this convention is not made explicit, but the Kconfig code documents
it. The following code (./scripts/kconfig/confdata.c) is used to generate
the autoconf.h header file during the build process. When a feature is
selected as a kernel module ('m'), it is suffixed with "_MODULE" to
indicate it.switch (*value) {
case 'n':
break;
case 'm':
suffix = "_MODULE";
/* fall through */This causes problems for static code analysis, which assumes a consistent
use of the "_MODULE" suffix.This patch renames the feature and its reference in a Makefile to
"TEST_LKM", which still expresses the test of a LKM.Signed-off-by: Valentin Rothberg

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on percpu front. Notable changes are...- percpu allocator now can take @gfp. If @gfp doesn't contain
GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to
the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around
certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed.This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by
blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for
writeback IOs.Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while
preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe0c
("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator")
just now.- percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of
ints. It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on
64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this
allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects
directly.- The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a
percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a
percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed
mode. This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where
the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed
in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully
operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with
blk-mq support). It's also planned to be used to implement forced
single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging.There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans
up the duplicate percpu accessors. That branch causes a number of
conflicts with s390 and other trees. I'll send a separate pull
request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged"* 'for-3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (33 commits)

"Most notable changes in here:1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is
the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
several individuals.Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
software is now done with no locks held.Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
be used to test a multi-send implementation.Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
virtio_netAdding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
support this optimization soon.I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper
Dangaard Brouer, Eric Dumazet, Alexander Duyck, Tom Herbert, Jamal
Hadi Salim, John Fastabend, Florian Westphal, Daniel Borkmann,
David Tat, Hannes Frederic Sowa, and Rusty Russell.2) PTP and timestamping support in bnx2x, from Michal Kalderon.
3) Allow adjusting the rx_copybreak threshold for a driver via
ethtool, and add rx_copybreak support to enic driver. From
Govindarajulu Varadarajan.4) Significant enhancements to the generic PHY layer and the bcm7xxx
driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
Florian Fainelli.5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the
necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().
From WANG Cong, with driver conversions (several had their own
by-hand duplicated implementations) by Alexander Duyck and Eric
Dumazet.6) Support checksumming more smoothly and efficiently for
encapsulations, and add "foo over UDP" facility. From Tom
Herbert.7) Add Broadcom SF2 switch driver to DSA layer, from Florian
Fainelli.8) eBPF now can load programs via a system call and has an extensive
testsuite. Alexei Starovoitov and Daniel Borkmann.9) Major overhaul of the packet scheduler to use RCU in several major
areas such as the classifiers and rate estimators. From John
Fastabend.10) Add driver for Intel FM10000 Ethernet Switch, from Alexander
Duyck.11) Rearrange TCP_SKB_CB() to reduce cache line misses, from Eric
Dumazet.12) Add Datacenter TCP congestion control algorithm support, From
Florian Westphal.13) Reorganize sk_buff so that __copy_skb_header() is significantly
faster. From Eric Dumazet"* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1558 commits)

Pull compression update from Greg KH:
"More fun with the LZO compression code. Here's some patches that
properly document what the logic is, and fix up all of the previously
reported issues against the LZO code.This has been in linux-next for a while with no issues"

Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
"Here's the driver core patches for 3.18-rc1. Just a few small things,
and the addition of a new interface to dump firmware "core dumps" to
userspace through sysfs that the wireless and graphic drivers want to
use.All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

There should be a generic function to parse params like a=b,c
Adding parse_option_str in lib/cmdline.c which will return true
if there's specified option set in the params.Also updated efi=old_map parsing code to use the new function
