The 'max' range needs to be unsigned, since the size of the user address space is bigger than 2GB. We know that 'count' is positive in 'long' (that is checked in the caller), so we will truncate 'max' down to something that fits in a signed long, but before we actually do that, that comparison needs to be done in unsigned. Bug introduced in commit 92ae03f2 ("x86: merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up"). On x86-64 you can't trigger this, since the user address space is much smaller than 63 bits, and on x86-32 it works in practice, since you would seldom hit the strncpy limits anyway. I had actually tested the corner-cases, I had only tested them on x86-64. Besides, I had only worried about the case of a pointer *close* to the end of the address space, rather than really far away from it ;) This also changes the "we hit the user-specified maximum" to return 'res', for the trivial reason that gcc seems to generate better code that way. 'res' and 'count' are the same in that case, so it really doesn't matter which one we return. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Currently when ThumbEE is not enabled (!CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE) the ThumbEE register states are not saved/restored at context switch. The default state of the ThumbEE Ctrl register (TEECR) allows userspace accesses to the ThumbEE Base Handler register (TEEHBR). This can cause unexpected behaviour when people use ThumbEE on !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE kernels, as well as allowing covert communication - eg between userspace tasks running inside chroot jails. This patch sets up TEECR in order to prevent user-space access to TEEHBR when !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE. In this case, tasks are sent SIGILL if they try to access TEEHBR.

During booting of cpu1, there is a short window where cpu1 is online, but not active where cpu1 is occupied by waiting to become active. If cpu0 then decides to schedule something on cpu1 and wait for it to complete, before cpu0 has set cpu1 active, we have a deadlock. Typically it's this CPU frequency transition that happens at this time, so let's just not wait for it to happen, it will happen whenever the CPU eventually comes online instead.

Commit 26f41062 ("PCI: check for pci bar restore completion and retry") attempted to address problems with PCI BAR restoration on systems where FLR had not been completed before pci_restore_state() was called, but it did that in an utterly wrong way. First off, instead of retrying the writes for the BAR registers only, it did that for all of the PCI config space of the device, including the status register (whose value after the write quite obviously need not be the same as the written one). Second, it added arbitrary delay to pci_restore_state() even for systems where the PCI config space restoration was successful at first attempt. Finally, the mdelay(10) it added to every iteration of the writing loop was way too much of a delay for any reasonable device. All of this actually caused resume failures for some devices on Mikko's system. To fix the regression, make pci_restore_state() only retry the writes for BAR registers and only wait if the first read from the register doesn't return the written value. Additionaly, make it wait for 1 ms, instead of 10 ms, after every failing attempt to write into config space. Reported-by: Mikko Vinni <mmvinni@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

GCC's NULL is actually __null, which allows detecting some questionable NULL usage and warn about it. Moreover each platform/compiler should have its own stddef.h anyway (which is different from linux/stddef.h).

Really minor stuff in here, the only real functional change is making the auto-unplug threshold a per-queue entity.

The OMAP driver needs a 'depends on ARCH_OMAP2PLUS' since it only builds for OMAP2+ platforms. This 'depends on' was in the original patch from Russell King, but was erroneously removed by me when making this option user-selectable in commit b09db45c (cpufreq: OMAP driver depends CPUfreq tables.)

The invocation of softirq is now handled by irq_exit(), so there is no need for sparc64 to invoke it on the trap-return path. In fact, doing so is a bug because if the trap occurred in the idle loop, this invocation can result in lockdep-RCU failures. The problem is that RCU ignores idle CPUs, and the sparc64 trap-return path to the softirq handlers fails to tell RCU that the CPU must be considered non-idle while those handlers are executing. This means that RCU is ignoring any RCU read-side critical sections in those handlers, which in turn means that RCU-protected data can be yanked out from under those read-side critical sections. The shiny new lockdep-RCU ability to detect RCU read-side critical sections that RCU is ignoring located this problem. The fix is straightforward: Make sparc64 stop manually invoking the softirq handlers. Reported-by: Meelis Roos <mroos@linux.ee> Suggested-by: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
