From: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>, via Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> It's already the second time that I encounter a kernel panic in the same place. When devfs_remove() is called on a non-existent file entry, the kernel panics and I have to reboot the system. First time it was unregistering of pseudoterminals. This time it's ide-floppy module that doesn't register devfs entries if the media is absent but still tries to unregister them. The bug in ide-floppy will be reported separately. The point of this message is that the failure in devfs_remove() is possible, especially with rarely used drivers. Secondly, is not fatal enough to justify an immediate panic and reboot. Thirdly, devfs misses a chance to tell the user what's going wrong.

From: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Like radio-cadet.c, bw-qcam.c is calling copy_to_user() where it shouldn't. The user buffer is copied to/from kernel space by drivers/media/video/videodev.c:video_usercopy().

From: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Another simple case of a memcpy that should be copy_from_user... Also fix some error-path memory leaks.

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> PageDirty BUG_ON in __remove_inode_page is, and always has been, unsafe for SMP or preemption: truncation may be racing against unmapping's set_page_dirty in zap_pte_range (amongst a few other possibilities). !PageUptodate error in __set_page_dirty_buffers is unsafe then too.

From: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> As pointed out by the Stanford checker, 'v' is not tainted. The driver shouldn't be using copy_to_user() in cadet_do_ioctl() at all: cadet_do_ioctl() is being called by drivers/media/video/videodev.c: video_usercopy(), which has already copied the buffer 'arg' (aka 'v') into kernel space, and will copy it back after cadet_do_ioctl() returns. So all the direct 'v' accesses are correct.

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> - don't add one level of indentation when taking a lock - remove useless ti_global struct
-
Andrew Morton authored
- comment fixes - duplicated assignments - Remove a prototype which is in aio.h already - Some __user annotation - use the existing symbolic names, not magic numbers.

This merges arch.c, irq.c and mm.c into one core file for this platform; it's pointless keeping these separate.

Since struct platform_device now has the ability to pass resources, defined by the platform to the device driver, we can now use this to handle platform specific devices. One such instance is the StrongARM SA1111 companion chip, which can appear in various address spaces, and connected to different IRQ lines depending on how many cups of coffee the hardware designer had, the direction of the wind outside the designers office that day. We also convert some of the other StrongARM peripheral on-chip devices to use struct platform_device. ARM also provides a platform_add_devices() function which can be used by platform code to bulk-register a tabular set of platform devices.
