Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific architectures. We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the personality flags across exec(). This patch tries to fix all architectures that forcefully overwrite personality flags during exec() (ppc32 and s390 have been fixed recently by commits f9783ec8 ("[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on exec") and 59e4c3a2 ("powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on exec") in a similar way already).

Commit 6afe1a1f ("PM: Remove legacy PM") removed the initialization of retval, causing: arch/frv/kernel/pm.c: In function 'sysctl_pm_do_suspend': arch/frv/kernel/pm.c:165:5: warning: 'retval' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] Remove the variable completely to fix this, and convert to a proper switch (...) { ... } construct to improve readability.

Fix the const sections for the code generated by crc32 table. There's no ro version of the cacheline aligned section, so we cannot put in const data without a conflict Just don't make the crc tables const for now.

The PA-RISC tool chain seems to have some problem with correct read/write attributes on sections. This causes problems when the const sections are fixed up for other architecture to only contain truly read-only data. Disable const sections for PA-RISC This can cause a bit of noise with modpost.

The ACARD driver calls udelay() with a value > 2000, which leads to to the following compilation error on ARM: ERROR: "__bad_udelay" [drivers/scsi/atp870u.ko] undefined! make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1 This is because udelay is defined on ARM, roughly speaking, as #define udelay(n) ((n) > 2000 ? __bad_udelay() : \ __const_udelay((n) * ((2199023U*HZ)>>11))) The argument to __const_udelay is the number of jiffies to wait divided by 4, but this does not work unless the multiplication does not overflow, and that is what the build error is designed to prevent. The intended behavior can be achieved by using mdelay to call udelay multiple times in a loop. [jrnieder@gmail.com: adding context] Signed-off-by:

The call if_changed mechanism does not work when the command contains backslashes. This basically is an issue with lzo and bzip2 compressed kernels. The compressed binaries do not contain the uncompressed image size, so these use size_append to append the size. This results in backslashes in the executed command. With this if_changed always detects a change in the command and rebuilds the compressed image even if nothing has changed. Fix this by escaping backslashes in make-cmd Signed-off-by:

It seems the current (gcc 4.6.3) no longer provides this so make it conditional. As reported by Tony before, the mn10300 architecture cross-compiles with gcc-4.6.3 if -mmem-funcs is not added to KBUILD_CFLAGS. Reported-by:

Fengguang correctly points out that the firmware reading should not use vfs_read(), since the buffer is in kernel space. The vfs_read() just happened to work for kernel threads, but sparse warns about the incorrect address spaces, and it's definitely incorrect and could fail for other users of the firmware loading.
