<id>urn:sha1:aea6a00ad6027871f661da99666af6fa6509c83d</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 900fdc4573766dd43b847b4f54bd4a1ee2bc7360 ]

The existing code attempted to handle numbers by doing a strto[u]l(),
ignoring the field width, and then repeatedly dividing to extract the
field out of the full converted value. If the string contains a run of
valid digits longer than will fit in a long or long long, this would
overflow and no amount of dividing can recover the correct value.

This patch fixes vsscanf() to obey number field widths when parsing
the number.

A new _parse_integer_limit() is added that takes a limit for the number
of characters to parse. The number field conversion in vsscanf is changed
to use this new function.

If a number starts with a radix prefix, the field width  must be long
enough for at last one digit after the prefix. If not, it will be handled
like this:

 sscanf("0x4", "%1i", &amp;i): i=0, scanning continues with the 'x'
 sscanf("0x4", "%2i", &amp;i): i=0, scanning continues with the '4'

This is consistent with the observed behaviour of userland sscanf.

Note that this patch does NOT fix the problem of a single field value
overflowing the target type. So for example:

  sscanf("123456789abcdef", "%x", &amp;i);

Will not produce the correct result because the value obviously overflows
INT_MAX. But sscanf will report a successful conversion.

Note that where a very large number is used to mean "unlimited", the value
INT_MAX is used for consistency with the behaviour of vsnprintf().

<title>lib/vsprintf: Remove atomic-unsafe support for %pCr</title>

commit 666902e42fd8344b923c02dc5b0f37948ff4f225 upstream.

"%pCr" formats the current rate of a clock, and calls clk_get_rate().
The latter obtains a mutex, hence it must not be called from atomic
context.

Remove support for this rarely-used format, as vsprintf() (and e.g.
printk()) must be callable from any context.

Any remaining out-of-tree users will start seeing the clock's name
printed instead of its rate.

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:

 - vsprintf format specifier %pOF for device_node's. This will enable us
   to stop storing the full node names. Conversion of users will happen
   next cycle.

 - Update documentation to point to DT specification instead of ePAPR.

 - Split out graph and property functions to a separate file.

 - New of-graph functions for ALSA

 - Add vendor prefixes for RISC-V, Linksys, iWave Systems, Roofull,
   Itead, and BananaPi.

 - Improve dtx_diff utility filename printing.

90% of the usage of device node's full_name is printing it out in a
kernel message. However, storing the full path for every node is
wasteful and redundant. With a custom format specifier, we can generate
the full path at run-time and eventually remove the full path from every
node.

For instance typical use is:
	pr_info("Frobbing node %s\n", node-&gt;full_name);

Which can be written now as:
	pr_info("Frobbing node %pOF\n", node);

'%pO' is the base specifier to represent kobjects with '%pOF'
representing struct device_node. Currently, struct device_node is the
only supported type of kobject.

More fine-grained control of formatting includes printing the name,
flags, path-spec name and others, explained in the documentation entry.

Originally written by Pantelis, but pretty much rewrote the core
function using existing string/number functions. The 2 passes were
unnecessary and have been removed. Also, updated the checkpatch.pl
check. The unittest code was written by Grant Likely.

Our "little endian" UUID really is a Wintel GUID, so rename it and its
helpers such (guid_t).  The big endian UUID is the only true one, so
give it the name uuid_t.  The uuid_le and uuid_be names are retained for
now, but will hopefully go away soon.  The exception to that are the _cmp
helpers that will be replaced by better primitives ASAP and thus don't
get the new names.

Also the _to_bin helpers are named to match the better named uuid_parse
routine in userspace.

Also remove the existing typedef in XFS that's now been superceeded by
the generic type name.

The vsnprintf() kernel-doc comment uses % character with a special
meaning other than escaping a constant. As ReST already defines
``literal`` as an escape sequence, let's make kernel-doc handle it,
and use it at lib/vsprintf.c.

Now that %z is standartised in C99 there is no reason to support %Z.
Unlike %L it doesn't even make format strings smaller.

Use BUILD_BUG_ON in a couple ATM drivers.

In case anyone didn't notice lib/vsprintf.o is about half of SLUB which
is in my opinion is quite an achievement.  Hopefully this patch inspires
someone else to trim vsprintf.c more.

There are new helpers in this patch:

  uuid_is_valid		checks if a UUID is valid
  uuid_be_to_bin	converts from string to binary (big endian)
  uuid_le_to_bin	converts from string to binary (little endian)

They will be used in future, i.e. in the following patches in the series.

This also moves the indices arrays to lib/uuid.c to be shared accross
modules.

There are few functions here and there along with type definitions that
provide UUID API.  This series consolidates everything under one hood
and converts current users.

This has been tested for a while internally, however it doesn't mean we
covered all possible cases (especially accuracy of UUID constants after
conversion).  So, please test this as much as you can and provide your
tag.  We appreciate the effort.

The ACPI conversion is postponed for now to sort more generic things out
first.

This patch (of 9):

Since we have hex_byte_pack_upper() we may use it directly and avoid
second loop.
