_parse_integer() does one or two division instructions (which are slow)
per digit parsed to perform the overflow check.
Furthermore, these are particularly expensive examples of division
instruction as the number of clock cycles required to complete them may
go up with the position of the most significant set bit in the dividend:
if (*res > div_u64(ULLONG_MAX - val, base))
which is as maximal as possible.
Worse, on 32-bit arches, more than one of these division instructions
may be required per digit.
So, assuming we don't support a base of more than 16, skip the check if the
top nibble of the result is not set at this point.

[ Changed it to not dereference the pointer all the time - even if the
compiler can and does optimize it away, the code just looks cleaner.
And edited the top nybble test slightly to make the code generated on
x86-64 better in the loop - test against a hoisted constant instead of
shifting and testing the result ]

Currently termination logic (\0 or \n\0) is hardcoded in _kstrtoull(),
avoid that for code reuse between kstrto*() and simple_strtoull().
Essentially, make them different only in termination logic.
simple_strtoull() (and scanf(), BTW) ignores integer overflow, that's a
bug we currently don't have guts to fix, making KSTRTOX_OVERFLOW hack
necessary.
Almost forgot: patch shrinks code size by about ~80 bytes on x86_64.

This function is required by *printf and kstrto* functions that are
located in the different modules. This patch makes _tolower() public.
However, it's good idea to not use the helper outside of mentioned
functions.

There is quite a lot of code which does copy_from_user() + strict_strto*()
or simple_strto*() combo in slightly different ways.
Before doing conversions all over tree, let's get final API correct.
Enter kstrtoull_from_user() and friends.
Typical code which uses them looks very simple:
TYPE val;
int rv;
rv = kstrtoTYPE_from_user(buf, count, 0, &val);
if (rv < 0)
return rv;
[use val]
return count;
There is a tiny semantic difference from the plain kstrto*() API -- the
latter allows any amount of leading zeroes, while the former copies data
into buffer on stack and thus allows leading zeroes as long as it fits
into buffer.
This shouldn't be a problem for typical usecase "echo 42 > /proc/x".
The point is to make reading one integer from userspace _very_ simple and
very bug free.

1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty,
libc way to indicate failure.
2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and
comments pretend they do.
3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants,
but users want strtou8()
4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong:
Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist
because conversion should be strict by default.
The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types.
Enter
kstrtoull()
kstrtoll()
kstrtoul()
kstrtol()
kstrtouint()
kstrtoint()
kstrtou64()
kstrtos64()
kstrtou32()
kstrtos32()
kstrtou16()
kstrtos16()
kstrtou8()
kstrtos8()
Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well.
strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and
eventually will be removed altogether.
Use kstrto*() in code today!
Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if
they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution,
because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these
functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and
__alignof__ at least always works.
