Subject: [PATCH] Add parse_integer() (replacement for simple_strto*())

kstrto*() and kstrto*_from_user() family of functions were added
help with parsing one integer written as string to proc/sysfs/debugfs
files and pass it elsewhere. But they have a limitation: string passed
must end with \0 or \n\0. There are enough places where kstrto*()
functions can't be used because of this limitation. Trivial example:
parse "%u.%u".

Currently the only way to parse everything is simple_strto*() family of
functions. But they are suboptimal:
* they do not detect overflow,
* there are only 2(4) of them -- long and "long long" version.
  This leads to silent truncation in the most simple case:

	val = strtoul(s, NULL, 0);

* half of the people think that "char **endp" argument is necessary and
  add unnecessary variable.

OpenBSD people, fed up with how complex correct integer parsing is, added
strtonum(3) to fixup for deficiencies of libc-style integer parsing:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man3/strtonum.3?query=strtonum&arch=i386

It'd be OK to copy that but it relies on "errno" and fixed strings as
error-reporting channel which I think is not OK for kernel.
strtonum() also doesn't report number of characted consumed.

What to do?

Enter parse_integer().

	int parse_integer(const char *s, unsigned int base, T *val);

Rationale:

* parse_integer() is exactly 1 (one) interface not 2 or many,
  one for each type.
* parse_integer() reports -E errors reliably in a canonical kernel way:

	rv = parse_integer(str, 10, &val);
	if (rv < 0)
		return rv;

* parse_integer() writes result only if there were no errors, at least
  one digit was consumed.
* parse_integer doesn't mix error reporting channel and value channel,
  it does mix error and number-of-character-consumed channel, though.

* parse_integer() reports number of characters consumed, makes parsing
  multiple values easy:

	rv = parse_integer(str, 0, &val1);
	if (rv < 0)
		return rv;
	s += rv;
	if (s != '.')
		return -EINVAL;
	rv = parse_integer(str, 0, &val2);
	if (rv < 0)
		return rv;
	if (str[rv] != '\0')
		return -EINVAL;

There are several deficiencies in parse_integer() compared to strto*():
* can't be used in initializers:

	const T x = strtoul();

* can't be used with bitfields,
* can't be used in experessions:

	x = strtol() * 1024;
	x = y = strtol() * 1024;
	x += strtol();

In defense of parse_integer() all I can say, is that using strtol() in
expression or initializer promotes no error checking and thus probably
should not be encouraged in C, language with no built-in error checking
anyway.

The amount of "x = y = strtol()" expressions in kernel is very small.
The amount of direct usage in expression is not small, but can be
counted as an acceptable loss.
