ipc, msg: forbid negative values for "msg{max,mnb,mni}"

2013-11-03T18:53:11Z

Negative message lengths make no sense -- so don't do negative queue lenghts or identifier counts. Prevent them from getting negative. Also change the underlying data types to be unsigned to avoid hairy surprises with sign extensions in cases where those variables get evaluated in unsigned expressions with bigger data types, e.g size_t. In case a user still wants to have "unlimited" sizes she could just use INT_MAX instead. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Cc: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ARC: Incorrect mm reference used in vmalloc fault handler

2013-11-02T17:27:04Z

A vmalloc fault needs to sync up PGD/PTE entry from init_mm to current task's "active_mm". ARC vmalloc fault handler however was using mm. A vmalloc fault for non user task context (actually pre-userland, from init thread's open for /dev/console) caused the handler to deref NULL mm (for mm->pgd) The reasons it worked so far is amazing: 1. By default (!SMP), vmalloc fault handler uses a cached value of PGD. In SMP that MMU register is repurposed hence need for mm pointer deref. 2. In pre-3.12 SMP kernel, the problem triggering vmalloc didn't exist in pre-userland code path - it was introduced with commit 20bafb3d23d108bc "n_tty: Move buffers into n_tty_data" Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta Cc: Gilad Ben-Yossef Cc: Noam Camus Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org #3.10 and 3.11 Cc: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts/kallsyms: filter symbols not in kernel address space

2013-11-01T22:43:02Z

This patch uses CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET to filter symbols which are not in kernel address space because these symbols are generally for generating code purpose and can't be run at kernel mode, so we needn't keep them in /proc/kallsyms. For example, on ARM there are some symbols which may be linked in relocatable code section, then perf can't parse symbols any more from /proc/kallsyms, this patch fixes the problem (introduced b9b32bf70f2fb710b07c94e13afbc729afe221da) Cc: Russell King Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Cc: Michal Marek Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Pull USB fixes from Greg KH: "Here is a set of patches that revert all of the changes done to the pl2303 USB serial driver in the 3.12-rc timeframe, as it turns out they break some devices that work just fine on 3.11. As it's not a good idea to break working systems, drop them all and they will be reworked for future kernel versions such that there is no breakage.
