      Fix typos in Documentation/filesystems/seq_file.txt · b82d4043
      Dmitri Vorobiev authored
      A couple of typos crept into the newly added document about the seq_file
      interface.  This patch corrects those typos and simultaneously deletes
      unnecessary trailing spaces.

      uml: compile error fix · 1f4deba8
      WANG Cong authored
      This patch fixes this error:
      
      In file included from /home/wangcong/projects/linux-2.6/arch/um/kernel/smp.c:9:
      include2/asm/tlb.h: In function `tlb_remove_page':
      include2/asm/tlb.h:101: error: implicit declaration of function `page_cache_release'
      
      And since including <linux/pagemap.h> in <linux/swap.h> will break sparc,
      we add this #include in uml's own header.

      memcg: fix oops in oom handling · e115f2d8
      Li Zefan authored
      When I used a test program to fork mass processes and immediately move them to
      a cgroup where the memory limit is low enough to trigger oom kill, I got oops:

      It's reproducable in a x86_64 box, but doesn't happen in x86_32.
      
      This is because tsk->sighand is not guarded by RCU, so we have to
      hold tasklist_lock, just as what out_of_memory() does.

      serial: fix platform driver hotplug/coldplug · e169c139
      Kay Sievers authored
      Since 43cc71ee, the platform modalias is
      prefixed with "platform:".  Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable serial
      platform drivers, to re-enable auto loading.
      
      NOTE that Kconfig for some of these drivers doesn't allow modular builds, and
      thus doesn't match the driver source's unload support.  Presumably their
      unload code is buggy and/or weakly tested...

      mm: sparsemem memory_present() fix · bead9a3a
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Fix memory corruption and crash on 32-bit x86 systems.
      
      If a !PAE x86 kernel is booted on a 32-bit system with more than 4GB of
      RAM, then we call memory_present() with a start/end that goes outside
      the scope of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.
      
      That causes this loop to happily walk over the limit of the sparse
      memory section map:
      
          for (pfn = start; pfn < end; pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION) {
                      unsigned long section = pfn_to_section_nr(pfn);
                      struct mem_section *ms;
      
                      sparse_index_init(section, nid);
                      set_section_nid(section, nid);
      
                      ms = __nr_to_section(section);
                      if (!ms->section_mem_map)
                              ms->section_mem_map = sparse_encode_early_nid(nid) |
      			                                SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT;
      
      'ms' will be out of bounds and we'll corrupt a small amount of memory by
      encoding the node ID and writing SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT (==0x1) over it.
      
      The corruption might happen when encoding a non-zero node ID, or due to
      the SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT which is 0x1:
      
      	mmzone.h:#define	SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT	(1UL<<0)
      
      The fix is to sanity check anything the architecture passes to
      sparsemem.
      
      This bug seems to be rather old (as old as sparsemem support itself),
      but the exact incarnation depended on random details like configs, which
      made this bug more prominent in v2.6.25-to-be.
      
      An additional enhancement might be to print a warning about ignored or
      trimmed memory ranges.
