The original ltoa() function and the reentrant one ltoa_r() present a number of drawbacks. The divide by 10 generates calls to external code from libgcc_s, and the number does not necessarily start at the beginning of the buffer. Let's rewrite these functions so that they do not involve a divide and only use loops on powers of 10, and implement both signed and unsigned variants, always starting from the buffer's first character. Instead of using a static buffer for each function, we're now using a common one. In order to avoid confusion with the ltoa() name, the new functions are called itoa_r() and utoa_r() to distinguish the signed and unsigned versions, and for convenience for their callers, these functions now reutrn the number of characters emitted. The ltoa_r() function is just an inline mapping to the signed one and which returns the buffer. The functions are quite small (86 bytes on x86_64, 68 on armv7) and do not depend anymore on external code. Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
