[RFC 04/30] compat: embrace LINUX_BACKPORT() for v2.6.25

From: Luis R. Rodriguez
Date: Wed Mar 20 2013 - 05:23:28 EST


From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There is one change needed here to get compilation
working on v2.6.24, strict_strtoull is now being
redefined and because of a change that went into
v2.6.38.4 kstrtoul() was added there and the old
strict_strtoul was made a define from it. To help
aid the older kernels such as 2.6.24 that need
the old strict_strtoul we simply check if strict_strtoull
is defined, then we know you're on >= 2.6.38.4 and
don't need kstrtoul() and friends.

If strict_strtoull ever needs to be backported for
older kernels we'll have to revisit this check.

It is worth documenting here why this change went into
v2.6.38.4 and not the orignal v2.6.38 release, so
the commit is provided.

commit 280a1c38c907ab1e2617bdcef66de6bc70897253

kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) right

commit 33ee3b2e2eb9b4b6c64dcf9ed66e2ac3124e748c upstream.

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.
