The LM3630 chip was revised by TI and chip name was also changed to LM3630A. And register map, default values and initial sequences are changed. The files, lm3630_bl.{c,h} are replaced by lm3630a_bl.{c,h} You can find more information about LM3630A(datasheet, evm etc) at http://www.ti.com/product/lm3630aSigned-off-by: -

LP8555 is one of the LP855x family devices. This device needs pre_init_device() and post_init_device() driver structure. It's same as LP8557, so the device configuration code is shared with LP8557. Backlight outputs are generated from dual DC-DC boost converters. It's configurable EPROM settings which are defined in the platform data. Driver documentation and device tree bindings are updated.

Some setuid binaries will allow reading of files which have read permission by the real user id. This is problematic with files which use %pK because the file access permission is checked at open() time, but the kptr_restrict setting is checked at read() time. If a setuid binary opens a %pK file as an unprivileged user, and then elevates permissions before reading the file, then kernel pointer values may be leaked. This happens for example with the setuid pppd application on Ubuntu 12.04: $ head -1 /proc/kallsyms 00000000 T startup_32 $ pppd file /proc/kallsyms pppd: In file /proc/kallsyms: unrecognized option 'c1000000' This will only leak the pointer value from the first line, but other setuid binaries may leak more information. Fix this by adding a check that in addition to the current process having CAP_SYSLOG, that effective user and group ids are equal to the real ids. If a setuid binary reads the contents of a file which uses %pK then the pointer values will be printed as NULL if the real user is unprivileged. Update the sysctl documentation to reflect the changes, and also correct the documentation to state the kptr_restrict=0 is the default. This is a only temporary solution to the issue. The correct solution is to do the permission check at open() time on files, and to replace %pK with a function which checks the open() time permission. %pK uses in printk should be removed since no sane permission check can be done, and instead protected by using dmesg_restrict.

getenv() may return NULL if given environment variable does not exist which leads to NULL dereference when calling strncat. Besides that, the environment variable name was copied to a temporary env_var buffer, but this copying can be avoided by simply using the input string. Lastly, the whole loop can be greatly simplified by using the snprintf function instead of the playing with strncat. By the way, the current implementation allows a recursive variable expansion, as in: $ echo 'out ${A} out ' | A='a ${B} a' B=b /tmp/a out a b a out I'm assuming this is just a side effect and not a conscious decision (especially as this may lead to infinite loop), but I didn't want to change this behaviour without consulting. If the current behaviour is deamed incorrect, I'll be happy to send a patch without recursive processing.

glibc recently changed the error string for ESTALE to remove "NFS" - https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=96945714ec61951cc748da2b4b8a80cf02127ee9 from: [ERR_REMAP (ESTALE)] = N_("Stale NFS file handle"), to: [ERR_REMAP (ESTALE)] = N_("Stale file handle"), And some have expressed concern that the kernel's errno.h comments still refer to NFS. So make that change... note that this is a comment-only change, and has no functional difference. Signed-off-by:

The CONFIG_HPET_MMAP Kconfig option exposes the memory map of the HPET registers to userspace. The Kconfig help points out that in some cases this can be a security risk as some systems may erroneously configure the map such that additional data is exposed to userspace. This is a problem for distributions -- some users want the MMAP functionality but it comes with a significant security risk. In an effort to mitigate this risk, and due to the low number of users of the MMAP functionality, I've introduced a kernel parameter, hpet_mmap_enable, that is required in order to actually have the HPET MMAP exposed.

Commit 0255d491 ("mm: Account for a THP NUMA hinting update as one PTE update") was added to account for the number of PTE updates when marking pages prot_numa. task_numa_work was using the old return value to track how much address space had been updated. Altering the return value causes the scanner to do more work than it is configured or documented to in a single unit of work. This patch reverts that commit and accounts for the number of THP updates separately in vmstat. It is up to the administrator to interpret the pair of values correctly. This is a straight-forward operation and likely to only be of interest when actively debugging NUMA balancing problems. The impact of this patch is that the NUMA PTE scanner will scan slower when THP is enabled and workloads may converge slower as a result. On the flip size system CPU usage should be lower than recent tests reported. This is an illustrative example of a short single JVM specjbb test specjbb 3.12.0 3.12.0 vanilla acctupdates TPut 1 26143.00 ( 0.00%) 25747.00 ( -1.51%) TPut 7 185257.00 ( 0.00%) 183202.00 ( -1.11%) TPut 13 329760.00 ( 0.00%) 346577.00 ( 5.10%) TPut 19 442502.00 ( 0.00%) 460146.00 ( 3.99%) TPut 25 540634.00 ( 0.00%) 549053.00 ( 1.56%) TPut 31 512098.00 ( 0.00%) 519611.00 ( 1.47%) TPut 37 461276.00 ( 0.00%) 474973.00 ( 2.97%) TPut 43 403089.00 ( 0.00%) 414172.00 ( 2.75%) 3.12.0 3.12.0 vanillaacctupdates User 5169.64 5184.14 System 100.45 80.02 Elapsed 252.75 251.85 Performance is similar but note the reduction in system CPU time.

Now dirty_background_ratio/dirty_ratio contains a percentage of total avaiable memory, which contains free pages and reclaimable pages. The number of these pages is not equal to the number of total system memory. But they are described as a percentage of total system memory in Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt. So we need to fix them to avoid misunderstanding. Signed-off-by:
