utf8data.h_shipped has a large database table which is an auto-generated
decodification trie for the unicode normalization functions.
It is not necessary to load this large table in the kernel if no
filesystem is using it, hence make UTF-8 encoding loadable by converting
it into a module.
Modify the file called unicode-core which will act as a layer for
unicode subsystem. It will load the UTF-8 module and access it's functions
whenever any filesystem that needs unicode is mounted.
Also, indirect calls using function pointers are slow, use static calls to
avoid overhead caused in case of repeated indirect calls. Static calls
improves the performance by directly calling the functions as opposed to
indirect calls.

Changes in v5
- Rename global variables and default static call functions for better
understanding
- Make only config UNICODE_UTF8 visible and config UNICODE to be always
enabled provided UNICODE_UTF8 is enabled.
- Improve the documentation for Kconfig
- Improve the commit message.
Changes in v4
- Return error from the static calls instead of doing nothing and
succeeding even without loading the module.
- Remove the complete usage of utf8_ops and use static calls at all
places.
- Restore the static calls to default values when module is unloaded.
- Decrement the reference of module after calling the unload function.
- Remove spinlock as there will be no race conditions after removing
utf8_ops.

Changes in v3
- Add a patch which checks if utf8 is loaded before calling utf8_unload()
in ext4 and f2fs filesystems
- Return error if strscpy() returns value < 0
- Correct the conditions to prevent NULL pointer dereference while
accessing functions via utf8_ops variable.
- Add spinlock to avoid race conditions.
- Use static_call() for preventing speculative execution attacks.

Changes in v2
- Remove the duplicate file from the last patch.
- Make the wrapper functions inline.
- Remove msleep and use try_module_get() and module_put()
for ensuring that module is loaded correctly and also
doesn't get unloaded while in use.
- Resolve the warning reported by kernel test robot.
- Resolve all the checkpatch.pl warnings.

Why are these here if the _default functions are defined in the header
file? I think the definitions could be in this file. No?


Inline functions defined in header file are using these functions so
cannot define them here in .c file.

Splitting this in two functions sound unnecessary, since the other
function just calls request_module. By the way, is there any protection
against calling request_module if the module is already loaded? Surely
that's not necessary, perhaps try_then_request_module(utf8mod, "utf8")?


Yes, try_then_request_module  would be a better choice.

Can't module_unregister be called in between the register_module and
here, and then you have a bogus utf8mod pointer? true, try_module_get
checks for NULL, but if you are unlucky module_is_live will it breaks.
I still think utf8mod needs to be protected while you don't have a
reference to the module.

write `WARN_ON(1); return -EIO;` in each of the few handlers below, but
the later would be more clear, and you already do it for

Again, why isn't this in a .c ? Does it need to be here?

nit: I hate this functions starting with a single _ . they are not common in the
rest of the kernel either.
