[PATCH v2] acpi: Use kstrtoul() instead of strtoul()/simple_strtoul()

[PATCH v2] acpi: Use kstrtoul() instead of strtoul()/simple_strtoul()

[Guenter Roeck]

simple_strtoul() is deprecated; replace with kstrtoul() and kstrtouint().
Return an error if the value passed to the sysfs attribute is not
a number.

Drop the definition of strtoul() since it is no longer needed.

Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
---
v2: An additional use of strtoul() was introduced with commit 4fa4616e.
    Replace it as well.

The ACPICA code is os-independent and cannot use these functions (at least not directly).

Odd argument, given that kstrtoul() is used already in the acpi code.

They are not in the os-independent ACPICA code. The ACPI-related drivers are another story, since they are OS-dendent.

Boib is right, the change in sysfs.c is OK, but the one in evgpeinit.c
isn't (this code is automatically generated from the upstream ACPICA
source and manual updates of it are painful).

You might provide a strtoul() wrapper around kstrtoul() instead of its
definition in acpi/platform/aclinux.h, though.

Thanks,
Rafael

That this OS independent code mandates functions such as strtoul(),
which may not exist in a target OS, and that it maps strtoul() to
simple_strtoul() in a global include file, doesn't seem to be
correct either and is asking for repeated trouble. I would have
hoped that at the very least such mappings would be implemented
in local include files.

On the other side, my patch to remove the second global definition
of strtoul has been accepted, so the problem I was trying to solve
has been addressed elsewhere. With that, my patch is no longer needed
at this time, at least until someone else redefines strtoul().

Thanks,
Guenter

The header is obviously OS-dependent and it does what it does just
because simple_strtoul() is available and serves the purpose.

As I said in the previous message, the strtoul() used by ACPICA might
be redefined in terms of kstroul().

And the change in sysfs.c is still OK.  Do you want me to apply this
change only?

Thanks,
Rafael

Let's step back a bit. The problem I was trying to solve was that
there were two definitions of strtoul(), which caused compile errors
for some builds.

libcfs_string.h 105 #define strtoul(str, endp, base) simple_strtoul(str, endp, base)
aclinux.h       122 #define strtoul simple_strtoul

The first was in lustre code. My patch to remove that definition
has been accepted, so now there is only one such definition left.

Fixing the sysfs code only might make some sense - I'll leave that
up to you - but it doesn't address the problem I was trying to solve,
which is that strtoul() is defined in a global but driver specific include
file (include/linux/...). That definition would still be there and may
cause trouble again if someone else defines strtoul elsewhere for similar
reasons.

A fix might be to move the definition of strtoul from aclinux.h to
some include file in drivers/acpi, but I don't know the code well
enough to know if that is even feasible, or which file to move it to.

Thanks,

I was, but maybe not ;-). Since the patch was rejected it does not really matter.

So, this would fix the issue(s) (in aclinux.h):

#define strtoul                     kstrtoul



strtoul is used frequently in with the ACPICA in-kernel AML Debugger:

dbcmds.c(188):        Address = strtoul (InString, NULL, 16);
dbcmds.c(266):    SleepState = (UINT8) strtoul (ObjectArg, NULL, 0);
dbcmds.c(1283):    GpeNumber = strtoul (GpeArg, NULL, 0);
dbcmds.c(1291):        BlockNumber = strtoul (BlockArg, NULL, 0);
dbdisply.c(213):    Address = strtoul (Target, NULL, 16);
dbdisply.c(749):    Handle = ACPI_TO_POINTER (strtoul (ObjectArg, NULL, 16));
dbexec.c(769):    NumThreads = strtoul (NumThreadsArg, NULL, 0);
dbexec.c(770):    NumLoops = strtoul (NumLoopsArg, NULL, 0);
