This will work fine, I believe (I can't easily test on HW since we're dependent on $vendor drivers that aren't upstream yet) but in my testing yesterday I parroted the x86 word-at-a-time.h and lib/strnlen_user.c and that seemed to work. > As for the issue you spotted, we probably need a fix for that to go into > stable kernels. Does the following (smaller patch) work for you? > This gets the count == 0 case wrong still, I believe. === count = 0 === strnlen_user = 0 __strnlen_user = 1 (Where strnlen_user is the lib/strnlen_user.c implementation.) Testing if (n <= 0) return 0; before __strnlen_user fixes it though. Given this is called in, I think, only two places in the kernel, maybe we should just backport the switch to generic for stable? I can't imagine it conflicting with anything. regards, Kyle > Will > > --->8 > > diff --git a/arch/arm64/lib/strnlen_user.S b/arch/arm64/lib/strnlen_user.S > index 7f7b176a5646..73f3335a2a45 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/lib/strnlen_user.S > +++ b/arch/arm64/lib/strnlen_user.S > @@ -37,6 +37,7 @@ ENTRY(__strnlen_user) > USER(9f, ldrb w3, [x0], #1 ) > cbnz w3, 1b > 2: sub x0, x0, x2 > + cinc x0, x0, mi > ret > ENDPROC(__strnlen_user) > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
