      Slab: Fix memory leak in fallback_alloc() · 481c5346
      Christoph Lameter authored
      The zonelist patches caused the loop that checks for available
      objects in permitted zones to not terminate immediately. One object
      per zone per allocation may be allocated and then abandoned.
      
      Break the loop when we have successfully allocated one object.

      Add return value to reserve_bootmem_node() · 71c2742f
      Bernhard Walle authored
      This patch changes the function reserve_bootmem_node() from void to int,
      returning -ENOMEM if the allocation fails.
      
      This fixes a build problem on x86 with CONFIG_KEXEC=y and

      Receiving packets while we are cleaning up a network namespace is a
      racy proposition. It is possible when the packet arrives that we have
      removed some but not all of the state we need to fully process it.  We
      have the choice of either playing wack-a-mole with the cleanup routines
      or simply dropping packets when we don't have a network namespace to
      handle them.
      
      Since the check looks inexpensive in netif_receive_skb let's just
      drop the incoming packets.

      sctp: Make sure N * sizeof(union sctp_addr) does not overflow. · 735ce972
      David S. Miller authored
      As noticed by Gabriel Campana, the kmalloc() length arg
      passed in by sctp_getsockopt_local_addrs_old() can overflow
      if ->addr_num is large enough.
      
      Therefore, enforce an appropriate limit.

      alpha: resurrect Cypress IDE quirk · a744e016
      Ivan Kokshaysky authored
      Which was removed in the hope that generic legacy IDE quirk in
      drivers/pci/probe.c is sufficient for Cypress IDE.
      It isn't, as this controller has non-standard BAR layout:
      secondary channel registers are in the BAR0-1 of the second
      PCI function - not in the BAR2-3 of the same function, as the
      generic quirk routine assumes.

      alpha: fix compile failures with gcc-4.3 (bug #10438) · d559d4a2
      Ivan Kokshaysky authored
      Vast majority of these build failures are gcc-4.3 warnings
      about static functions and objects being referenced from
      non-static (read: "extern inline") functions, in conjunction
      with our -Werror.
      
      We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline",
      as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline"
      logic is crucial for generic kernel build.
      So
      - just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline"
        functions are also "extern inline";
      - use "static inline", wherever it's possible.
      
      traps.c: work around gcc-4.3 being too smart about array
      bounds-checking.
      
      TODO: add "gnu_inline" attribute to all our "extern inline"
      functions to ensure desired behaviour with future compilers.

      alpha: link failure fix · ede42692
      Ivan Kokshaysky authored
      With built-in scsi disk driver, the final link fails with a following
      error:
      `.exit.text' referenced in section `.rodata' of drivers/built-in.o:
      defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o
      
      This happens with -Os (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y) with all gcc-4
      versions, and also with -O2 and gcc-4.3.
      
      The problem is in sd.c:sd_major() being inlined into __exit function
      exit_sd(), and the compiler generating a jump table in .rodata section
      for the 'switch' statement in sd_major(). So we have references to
      discarded section.
      
      Fixed with a big hammer in the form of -fno-jump-tables.
      
      Note that jump tables vs. discarded sections is a generic problem,
      other architectures are just lucky not to suffer from it. But with
      a slightly more complex switch/case statement it can be reproduced
      on x86 as well. So maybe at some point we should consider
      -fno-jump-tables as a generic compile option...

      alpha: fix module load failures on smp (bug #10926) · 9267b4b3
      Ivan Kokshaysky authored
      To calculate addresses of locally defined variables, GCC uses 32-bit
      displacement from the GP. Which doesn't work for per cpu variables in
      modules, as an offset to the kernel per cpu area is way above 4G.
      
      The workaround is to force allocation of a GOT entry for per cpu variable
      using ldq instruction with a 'literal' relocation.
      I had to use custom asm/percpu.h, as a required argument magic doesn't
      work with asm-generic/percpu.h macros.
