      [PATCH] sys_alarm() unsigned signed conversion fixup · c08b8a49
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      alarm() calls the kernel with an unsigend int timeout in seconds.  The
      value is stored in the tv_sec field of a struct timeval to setup the
      itimer.  The tv_sec field of struct timeval is of type long, which causes
      the tv_sec value to be negative on 32 bit machines if seconds > INT_MAX.
      
      Before the hrtimer merge (pre 2.6.16) such a negative value was converted
      to the maximum jiffies timeout by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion.  It's
      not clear whether this was intended or just happened to be done by the
      timeval_to_jiffies code.
      
      hrtimers expect a timeval in canonical form and treat a negative timeout as
      already expired.  This breaks the legitimate usage of alarm() with a
      timeout value > INT_MAX seconds.
      
      For 32 bit machines it is therefor necessary to limit the internal seconds
      value to avoid API breakage.  Instead of doing this in all implementations
      of sys_alarm the duplicated sys_alarm code is moved into a common function
      in itimer.c

      [PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversions · 394e3902
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
      the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all.  The correct way of doing this
      is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
      
      This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS.  I found very
      few instances of this bug, if any.  But the patch converts lots of open-coded
      test to use the preferred helper macros.

      [PATCH] flags parameter for linkat · c04030e1
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      I'm currently at the POSIX meeting and one thing covered was the
      incompatibility of Linux's link() with the POSIX definition.  The name.
      Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does.
      
      Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this
      because it would break the ABI.  But the fact remains that some application
      might want this behavior.
      
      We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior.
       For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new
      flags parameter.  If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new
      behavior could be invoked.
      
      I do not want to introduce such a patch now.  But we could add the
      parameter now, just don't use it.  The patch below would do this.  Can we
      get this late patch applied before the release more or less fixes the
      syscall API?
