alpha: Use new generic strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user()

2012-08-19T15:41:18Z

Similar to x86/sparc/powerpc implementations except: 1) we implement an extremely efficient has_zero()/find_zero() sequence with both prep_zero_mask() and create_zero_mask() no-operations. 2) Our output from prep_zero_mask() differs in that only the lowest eight bits are used to represent the zero bytes nevertheless it can be safely ORed with other similar masks from prep_zero_mask() and forms input to create_zero_mask(), the two fundamental properties prep_zero_mask() must satisfy. Tests on EV67 and EV68 CPUs revealed that the generic code is essentially as fast (to within 0.5% of CPU cycles) of the old Alpha specific code for large quadword-aligned strings, despite the 30% extra CPU instructions executed. In contrast, the generic code for unaligned strings is substantially slower (by more than a factor of 3) than the old Alpha specific code.

alpha: exception table sorting

2009-05-02T22:36:10Z

Exception fixups for sections other than .text (like one in futex_init()) break the natural ordering of fixup entries, so sorting is required. Without that the result of the exception table search depends on phase of the moon. Signed-off-by: Ivan Kokshaysky Cc: Al Viro Cc: Richard Henderson Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

alpha: fix macros

2009-04-01T15:59:15Z

When this macros isn't called with 'fixup', e.g. with foo this will incorectly expand to foo->foo.bits.errreg Signed-off-by: Roel Kluin Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky Cc: Richard Henderson Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

alpha: move include/asm-alpha to arch/alpha/include/asm

2008-08-15T16:19:40Z

Sam Ravnborg did the build-test that the direct header file move works, I'm just committing it. This is a pure move: mkdir arch/alpha/include git mv include/asm-alpha arch/alpha/include/asm with no other changes.
