Subject[PATCH 0/6] [v2] asm-generic: strncpy_from_user/strnlen_user cleanup
Date
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

As I've queued up some patches for asm-generic, I remembered an
older series that I created but never submitted.

These two functions appear to be unnecessarily different between
architectures, and the asm-generic version is a bit questionable,
even for NOMMU architectures.

Clean this up to just use the generic library version for anything
that uses the generic version today. I've expanded on the patch
descriptions a little, as suggested by Christoph Hellwig, but I
suspect a more detailed review would uncover additional problems
with the custom versions that are getting removed.

Arnd Bergmann (6):
[v2] asm-generic/uaccess.h: remove __strncpy_from_user/__strnlen_user
[v2] h8300: remove stale strncpy_from_user

[v2] arc: use generic strncpy/strnlen from_user
[v2] asm-generic: uaccess: remove inline
strncpy_from_user/strnlen_user
[v2] asm-generic: remove extra strn{cpy_from,len}_user declarations
