Subject: x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine
X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~7359^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4ae73f2d53255c388d50bf83c1681112a6f9cba1;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git

x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine

The generic strncpy_from_user() is not really optimal, since it is
designed to work on both little-endian and big-endian.  And on
little-endian you can simplify much of the logic to find the first zero
byte, since little-endian arithmetic doesn't have to worry about the
carry bit propagating into earlier bytes (only later bytes, which we
don't care about).

But I have patches to make the generic routines use the architecture-
specific <asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure, so that we can regain
the little-endian optimizations.  But before we do that, switch over to
the generic routines to make the patches each do just one well-defined
thing.
