      [PATCH] Remove NOOP code from fs/buffer.c::drop_buffers() · 4d1ae8c5
      Anton Altaparmakov authored
      I noticed that fs/buffer.c::drop_buffers() contains some code that
      AFAICS doesn't actually do anything other than waste cpu cycles so here
      is patch to remove it...  The local variable was_uptodate is being
      messed with but it is not being read anywhere so it seems entirely
      pointless.
      
      I assume this must be a remainder from old code which mucked around with
      the page uptodateness but which has since been (re-)moved.

      [PATCH] sparse: fix ugly include/linux/efi.h typedef · 0816a653
      Mika Kukkonen authored
      efi.h declares a function type, and then uses that as an argument to
      another function, and expects the compiler to magically demote the
      function to a function pointer.
      
      Even a gcc person (rth) was surprised that this was legal, and it
      doesn't match any other use of a function pointer in the kernel, and
      sparse doesn't like the implicit type-conversion.
      
      So make the type sane in the first place, instead of depending on
      a very weird corner case of the C language.

      [PATCH] ppc64: fix memset · 7df8818d
      Paul Mackerras authored
      This fixes a bug in the ppc64 memset where the code that gets the
      destination address aligned (or is supposed to) was looking at the
      bottom 3 bits of the count rather than the destination address.  The
      result of this was that the kernel wouldn't boot on POWER3 machines. 
      The patch also removes an unnecessary duplicate instruction.
