First, I hope you are fine and the same for your relatives. In this patch set, I replaced all calls to strstarts() by calls to str_has_prefix(). Indeed, the kernel has two functions to test if a string begins with an other: 1. strstarts() which returns a bool, so 1 if the string begins with the prefix, 0 otherwise. 2. str_has_prefix() which returns the length of the prefix or 0. str_has_prefix() was introduced later than strstarts(), in commit 495d714ad140 which also stated that str_has_prefix() should replace strstarts(). This is what this patch set does. Concerning the patches, the modifications cover different areas of the kernel. I compiled all of them and they compile smoothly. Unfortunately, I did not test all of them, so here are the status of the patches regarding test: 1. Tested with qemu-system-arm using insmod. 2. I do not have access to a bcm47xx MIPS CPU an qemu-system-mips does not emulate this board. 3. Tested with qemu-system-x86_64 calling crypto_alloc_skcipher("essiv(authenc(hmac(sha256),cbc(aes)),sha256)", 0, 0) through LKDTM. 4. Tested with qemu-system-x86_64 using crypsetup. 5. I do not have access to a renesas board and I lack some context to test it with qemu-system-arm. 6. I do not have access to an OMAP board and I lack some context to test it with qemu-system-arm. 7. I did not find how to boot from the EFI_STUB with qemu. If you know how to do, I would be happy to try running this code. 8. I ran qemu-system-x86_64 with a floppy disk attached but impossible to go through this module code... 9. I do not have access to a bcm63xx MIPS CPU an qemu-system-mips does not emulate this board. 10. Tested with qemu-system-x86_64 using insmod. 11. I do not have access to an AM335x or DA8xx platforms and I lack some context to test it with qemu-system-arm. If you see a way to improve the patches or if I did something wrong with the mail do not hesitate to ask. Best regards.
