Using the extern keyword on function prototypes is superfluous visual noise so suggest removing it. Using extern can cause unnecessary line wrapping at 80 columns and unnecessarily long multi-line function prototypes. Signed-off-by:

I got a bug report from a couple of users who said checkpatch.pl was broken for them. It was erroring out on fairly random lines most commonly with messages like: Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <--HERE in m/(\((?:[^\(\)]++ <-- HERE |(?-1))*\))/ at ./checkpatch.pl line 340. The bug reporter was running a version of perl 5.8 which was end-of-lifed in 2008: http://www.cpan.org/src/. Versions of perl this old are at _best_ quite untested. At worst, they are crusty and known to be completely broken. If folks have a system _that_ old, then we should have mercy on them and give them a half-decent error message rather than fail with nutty error messages. This patch enforces that checkpatch.pl is run with perl 5.10, which was end-of-lifed in 2009. The new --ignore-perl-version command-line switch will let folks override this if they want.

$Lval is a test for complete name (ie: foo->bar.Baz[1]) If any of this is CamelCase, then the current test uses the entire $Lval. This isn't optimal because it can emit messages with foo->bar.Baz and bar.Baz when Baz is a variable specified in an include file. So instead, break the $Lval into words and check each word for CamelCase uses. Signed-off-by:

Suggest a few more single-line corrections. Remove DOS line endings Simplify removing trailing whitespace Remove global/static initializations to 0/NULL Convert pr_warning to pr_warn Add space after brace Convert binary constants to hex Remove whitespace after line continuation Use inline not __inline or __inline__ Use __printf and __scanf Use a single ; for statement terminations Convert __FUNCTION__ to __func__ Signed-off-by:

When decompressing into memory, the output buffer length is set to some arbitrarily high value (0x7fffffff) to indicate the output is, virtually, unlimited in size. The problem with this is that some platforms have their physical memory at high physical addresses (0x80000000 or more), and that the output buffer address and its "unlimited" length cannot be added without overflowing. An example of this can be found in inflate_fast(): /* next_out is the output buffer address */ out = strm->next_out - OFF; /* avail_out is the output buffer size. end will overflow if the output * address is >= 0x80000104 */ end = out + (strm->avail_out - 257); This has huge consequences on the performance of kernel decompression, since the following exit condition of inflate_fast() will be always true: } while (in < last && out < end); Indeed, "end" has overflowed and is now always lower than "out". As a result, inflate_fast() will return after processing one single byte of input data, and will thus need to be called an unreasonably high number of times. This probably went unnoticed because kernel decompression is fast enough even with this issue. Nonetheless, adjusting the output buffer length in such a way that the above pointer arithmetic never overflows results in a kernel decompression that is about 3 times faster on affected machines.

As in commit f21afc25 ("smp.h: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in !SMP version of on_each_cpu()"), we don't want to enable irqs if they are not already enabled. I don't know of any bugs currently caused by this unconditional local_irq_enable(), but I want to use this function in MIPS/OCTEON early boot (when we have early_boot_irqs_disabled). This also makes this function have similar semantics to on_each_cpu() which is good in itself. Signed-off-by:

All of the other non-trivial !SMP versions of functions in smp.h are out-of-line in up.c. Move on_each_cpu() there as well. This allows us to get rid of the #include <linux/irqflags.h>. The drawback is that this makes both the x86_64 and i386 defconfig !SMP kernels about 200 bytes larger each. Signed-off-by:

The SMP version of this function doesn't unconditionally enable irqs, so neither should this !SMP version. There are no know problems caused by this, but we make the change for consistency's sake. Signed-off-by:

As in commit f21afc25 ("smp.h: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in !SMP version of on_each_cpu()"), we don't want to enable irqs if they are not already enabled. There are currently no known problematical callers of these functions, but since it is a known failure pattern, we preemptively fix them. Since they are not trivial functions, make them non-inline by moving them to up.c. This also makes it so we don't have to fix #include dependancies for preempt_{disable,enable}. Signed-off-by:

When running with GENERIC_LOCKBREAK=y, the locking implementations emit calls to arch_{read,write,spin}_relax when spinning on a contended lock in order to allow architectures to favour the CPU owning the lock if possible. In reality, everybody apart from PowerPC and S390 just does cpu_relax() here, so make that the default behaviour and allow it to be overridden if required.

I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings: grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" * The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat, since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they might not be exploitable. For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel buffers, and will fail immediately afterward. The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every architectures.
