      Reduce sequential pointer derefs in scsi_error.c and reduce size as well · 0bf8c869
      Jesper Juhl authored 
      This patch reduces the number of sequential pointer derefs in
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c

This has been submitted a number of times over a couple of years.  I
believe this version adresses all comments it has gathered over time.
Please apply or reject with a reason.

The benefits are:

 - makes the code easier to read.  Lots of sequential derefs of the same
   pointers is not easy on the eye.

 - theoretically at least, just dereferencing the pointers once can
   allow the compiler to generally slightly faster code, so in theory
   this could also be a micro speed optimization.

 - reduces size of object file (tiny effect: on x86-64, in at least one
   configuration, the text size decreased from 9439 bytes to 9400)

 - removes some pointless (mostly trailing) whitespace.

      matroxfb: remove incorrect Matrox G200eV support · 38f7aa23
      Gary Hade authored 
      Remove incorrect Matrox G200eV support that was previously added by
commit e3a19388

A serious issue with the incorrect G200eV support that reproduces on the
Matrox G200eV equipped IBM x3650 M2 is the total lack of text (login
banner, login prompt, etc) on the console when X is not running and
total lack of text on all of the virtual consoles after X is started.

Any concerns that the incorrect code (upstream since October 2008) has
been successfully used on non-IBM G200eV equipped system(s) appear to be
unwarranted.  In addition to the serious/non-intermittent nature of
issues that have been spotted on IBM systems, complete removal of the
incorrect code is clearly supported by the following Matrox (Yannick
Heneault) provided input:
 "It impossible that this patch should have work on a system.
 The patch only declare the G200eV as a regular G200 which is
 not case. Many registers are different, including at least the
 PLL programming sequence. If the G200eV is programmed like a
 regular G200, it will not display anything."

v1 - Initial patch that removed the incorrect code for _all_
     G200eV equipped systems.
v2 - Darrick Wong provided patch that blacklisted the incorrect
     code on G200eV equipped IBM systems leaving it enabled on
     all G200eV equipped non-IBM systems.
v3 - Same code changes included with v1 plus additional
     justification for complete removal of the incorrect code.

      Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo from spoofing the signal code · da48524e
      Julien Tinnes authored 
      Userland should be able to trust the pid and uid of the sender of a
signal if the si_code is SI_TKILL.

Unfortunately, the kernel has historically allowed sigqueueinfo() to
send any si_code at all (as long as it was negative - to distinguish it
from kernel-generated signals like SIGILL etc), so it could spoof a
SI_TKILL with incorrect siginfo values.

Happily, it looks like glibc has always set si_code to the appropriate
SI_QUEUE, so there are probably no actual user code that ever uses
anything but the appropriate SI_QUEUE flag.

So just tighten the check for si_code (we used to allow any negative
value), and add a (one-time) warning in case there are binaries out
there that might depend on using other si_code values.

      /sys/fs is a somewhat strange way to tweak what could more
