2023-08-08Revert "lib: string: Fix strlcpy return value", fix callersMatthias Schiffer
Both the Linux kernel and libbsd agree that strlcpy() should always return strlen(src) and not include the NUL termination. The incorrect U-Boot implementation makes it impossible to check the return value for truncation, and breaks code written with the usual implementation in mind (for example, fdtdec_add_reserved_memory() was subtly broken). I reviewed all callers of strlcpy() and strlcat() and fixed them according to my understanding of the intended function. This reverts commit d3358ecc54be0bc3b4dd11f7a63eab0a2842f772 and adds related fixes.

2022-10-27lib: fix buggy strcmp and strncmpRasmus Villemoes
There are two problems with both strcmp and strncmp: (1) The C standard is clear that the contents should be compared as "unsigned char": The sign of a nonzero value returned by the comparison functions memcmp, strcmp, and strncmp is determined by the sign of the difference between the values of the first pair of characters (both interpreted as unsigned char) that differ in the objects being compared. (2) The difference between two char (or unsigned char) values can range from -255 to +255; so that's (due to integer promotion) the range of values we could get in the *cs-*ct expressions, but when that is then shoe-horned into an 8-bit quantity the sign may of course change. The impact is somewhat limited by the way these functions are used in practice: - Most of the time, one is only interested in equality (or for strncmp, "starts with"), and the existing functions do correctly return 0 if and only if the strings are equal [for strncmp, up to the given bound]. - Also most of the time, the strings being compared only consist of ASCII characters, i.e. have values in the range [0, 127], and in that case it doesn't matter if they are interpreted as signed or unsigned char, and the possible difference range is bounded to [-127, 127] which does fit the signed char. For size, one could implement strcmp() in terms of strncmp() - just make it "return strncmp(a, b, (size_t)-1);". However, performance of strcmp() does matter somewhat, since it is used all over when parsing and matching DT nodes and properties, so let's find some other place to save those ~30 bytes.

2021-05-24string: make memcpy(), memset(), memcmp() and memmove() visible for LTOMarek BehĂșn
It seems that sometimes (happening on ARM64, for example with turris_mox_defconfig) GCC, when linking with LTO, changes the symbol names of some functions, for example lib/string.c's memcpy() function to memcpy.isra.0. This is a problem however when GCC for a code such as this: struct some_struct *info = get_some_struct(); struct some struct tmpinfo; tmpinfo = *info; emits a call to memcpy() by builtin behaviour, to copy *info to tmpinfo. This then results in the following linking error: .../lz4.c:93: undefined reference to `memcpy' .../uuid.c:206: more undefined references to `memcpy' follow GCC's documentation says this about -nodefaultlibs option: The compiler may generate calls to "memcmp", "memset", "memcpy" and "memmove". These entries are usually resolved by entries in libc. These entry points should be supplied through some other mechanism when this option is specified. Make these functions visible by using the __used macro to avoid this error. Signed-off-by: Marek BehĂșn <marek.behun@nic.cz> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2021-04-12lib: string: Implement strlcatSean Anderson
This introduces strlcat, which provides a safer interface than strncat. It never copies more than its size bytes, including the terminating nul. In addition, it never reads past dest[size - 1], even if dest is not nul-terminated. This also removes the stub for dwc3 now that we have a proper implementation.

2021-04-12lib: string: Fix strlcpy return valueSean Anderson

2021-01-16string: Use memcpy() within memmove() when we canPatrick Delaunay
A common use of memmove() can be handled by memcpy(). Also memcpy() includes an optimization for large sizes: it copies a word at a time. So we can get a speed-up by calling memcpy() to handle our move in this case. Update memmove() to call also memcpy() if the source don't overlap the destination (src + count <= dest).

2017-04-04string: Provide a slimmed-down memset()Simon Glass
Most of the time the optimised memset() is what we want. For extreme situations such as TPL it may be too large. For example on the 'rock' board, using a simple loop saves a useful 48 bytes. With gcc 4.9 and the rodata bug, this patch is enough to reduce the TPL image below the limit. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@sntech.de>

2013-05-31mtd: resync with Linux-3.7.1Sergey Lapin
This patch is essentially an update of u-boot MTD subsystem to the state of Linux-3.7.1 with exclusion of some bits: - the update is concentrated on NAND, no onenand or CFI/NOR/SPI flashes interfaces are updated EXCEPT for API changes. - new large NAND chips support is there, though some updates have got in Linux-3.8.-rc1, (which will follow on top of this patch). To produce this update I used tag v3.7.1 of linux-stable repository. The update was made using application of relevant patches, with changes relevant to U-Boot-only stuff sticked together to keep bisectability. Then all changes were grouped together to this patch.

2012-12-13Make linux kernel string funcs available to toolsJoe Hershberger
isspace() and strim() are not in the typical user-mode string.h, so put them in a separate compilation unit so that they can be built into tools that need them independent of the other common string functions.
