Raw Normal View History

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

[TIPC]: Fix headercheck wrt. tipc_config.h It wants string functions like memcpy() for inline routines, and these define userland interfaces. The only clean way to deal with this is to simply put linux/string.h into unifdef-y and have it include <string.h> when not-__KERNEL__. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[PATCH] strndup_user() This patch series creates a strndup_user() function to easy copying C strings from userspace. Also we avoid common pitfalls like userspace modifying the final \0 after the strlen_user().

[PATCH] Clean up arch-overrides in linux/string.h Some string functions were safely overrideable in lib/string.c, but their corresponding declarations in linux/string.h were not. Correct this, and make strcspn overrideable. Odds of someone wanting to do optimized assembly of these are small, but for the sake of cleanliness, might as well bring them into line with the rest of the file.

[PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

add kstrndup Add a kstrndup function, modelled on strndup. Like strndup this returns a string copied into its own allocated memory, but it copies no more than the specified number of bytes from the source. Remove private strndup() from irda code.

[PATCH] kmemdup: introduce One of idiomatic ways to duplicate a region of memory is dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL); if (!dst) return -ENOMEM; memcpy(dst, src, len); which is neat code except a programmer needs to write size twice. Which sometimes leads to mistakes. If len passed to kmalloc is smaller that len passed to memcpy, it's straight overwrite-beyond-end. If len passed to memcpy is smaller than len passed to kmalloc, it's either a) legit behaviour ;-), or b) cloned buffer will contain garbage in second half. Slight trolling of commit lists shows several duplications bugs done exactly because of diverged lenghts: Linux: [CRYPTO]: Fix memcpy/memset args. [PATCH] memcpy/memset fixes OpenBSD: kerberosV/src/lib/asn1: der_copy.c:1.4 If programmer is given only one place to play with lengths, I believe, such mistakes could be avoided. With kmemdup, the snippet above will be rewritten as: dst = kmemdup(src, len, GFP_KERNEL); if (!dst) return -ENOMEM; This also leads to smaller code (kzalloc effect). Quick grep shows 200+ places where kmemdup() can be used.

[PATCH] create a kstrdup library function This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local" implementations in several places to use this function. Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems. The sound part had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S. Miller. I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code carefully before making changes there.

add argv_split() argv_split() is a helper function which takes a string, splits it at whitespace, and returns a NULL-terminated argv vector. This is deliberately simple - it does no quote processing of any kind. [ Seems to me that this is something which is already being done in the kernel, but I couldn't find any other implementations, either to steal or replace. Keep an eye out. ] Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>
