Even though copy_compat_strings() doesn't cache the pages, copy_strings_kernel() and stuff indirectly called by e.g. ->load_binary() is doing that, so we need to drop the cache contents in the end. [found by WANG Cong <wangcong@zeuux.org>] Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

In kmalloc failing path, we shouldn't free pointers in 'info', because the struct 'info' is uninitilized when kmalloc is called. And when kmalloc returns NULL, it's needless to kfree it.

Parent _can_ be a clone task, contrary to the comment. Moreover, more files could be opened while we allocate a copy, in which case we end up copying only part into new descriptor table. Since what we get _is_ affected by all changes in the old range, we can get rather weird effects - e.g. dup2(0, 1024); close(0); in parallel with fork() resulting in child that sees the effect of close(), but not that of dup2() done just before that close(). What we need is to recalculate the open_count after having reacquired ->file_lock and if external fdtable we'd just allocated is too small for it, free the sucker and redo allocation.

This patch fixes a build bug on m68k - gcc decides to emit a call to the strlen library function, which we don't implement. More importantly - my previous patch "init: don't lose initcall return values" (commit e662e1cf) had introduced potential buffer overflow by wrong calculation of string accumulator size. Use strlcat() instead, fixing both bugs. Many thanks Andreas Schwab and Geert Uytterhoeven for helping to catch and fix the bug.

Everybody wants to pass it a function pointer, and in fact, that is what you _must_ pass it for it to make sense (since it knows that ia64 and ppc64 use descriptors for function pointers and fetches the actual address from there). So don't make the argument be a 'unsigned long' and force everybody to add a cast. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Huang, Xiaolan authored
The patch aims to fix a performance issue for the syscall personality(PER_LINUX32). On IA-64 box, the syscall personality (PER_LINUX32) has poor performance because it failed to find the Linux/x86 execution domain. Then it tried to load the kernel module however it failed always and it used the default execution domain PER_LINUX instead. Requesting kernel modules is very expensive. It caused the performance issue. (see the function lookup_exec_domain in kernel/exec_domain.c). To resolve the issue, execution domain Linux/x86 is always registered in initialization time for IA-64 architecture.

Both smp_call_function() and __smp_call_function_map() access cpu_online_map. Both functions run with preemption disabled which protects for cpus going offline. However new cpus can be added and therefore the cpu_online_map can change unexpectedly. So use the call_lock to protect against changes to the cpu_online_map in start_secondary() and all smp_call_* functions.
