drivers: char: random: add get_random_long()

2016-02-27T18:28:52Z

Commit d07e22597d1d ("mm: mmap: add new /proc tunable for mmap_base ASLR") added the ability to choose from a range of values to use for entropy count in generating the random offset to the mmap_base address. The maximum value on this range was set to 32 bits for 64-bit x86 systems, but this value could be increased further, requiring more than the 32 bits of randomness provided by get_random_int(), as is already possible for arm64. Add a new function: get_random_long() which more naturally fits with the mmap usage of get_random_int() but operates exactly the same as get_random_int(). Also, fix the shifting constant in mmap_rnd() to be an unsigned long so that values greater than 31 bits generate an appropriate mask without overflow. This is especially important on x86, as its shift instruction uses a 5-bit mask for the shift operand, which meant that any value for mmap_rnd_bits over 31 acts as a no-op and effectively disables mmap_base randomization. Finally, replace calls to get_random_int() with get_random_long() where appropriate. This patch (of 2): Add get_random_long().

ipmi: put acpi.h with the other headers

2016-02-03T16:35:52Z

Enclosing '#include ' within '#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI' is unnecessary, since it has its own conditional compile for CONFIG_ACPI. Commit 0fbcf4af7c83 ("ipmi: Convert the IPMI SI ACPI handling to a platform device") exposed this as a problem for platforms that do not support ACPI when it introduced a call to ACPI_PTR() macro outside of the CONFIG_ACPI conditional compile. This would have been perfectly acceptable if acpi.h were not conditionally excluded for the non-acpi platform, because the conditional compile within acpi.h defines ACPI_PTR() to return NULL when compiled for non acpi platforms.

tree wide: use kvfree() than conditional kfree()/vfree()

2016-01-23T01:02:18Z

There are many locations that do if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc) vfree(ptr); else kfree(ptr); but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory using is_vmalloc_addr(). Unless callers have special reasons, we can replace this branch with kvfree(). Please check and reply if you found problems.

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested}, inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex). Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle ->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held only shared. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

The cores changes include: - blk-mq - Prep patch from Christoph, changing blk_mq_alloc_request() to take flags instead of just using gfp_t for sleep/nosleep. - Doc patch from me, clarifying the difference between legacy and blk-mq for timer usage. - Fixes from Raghavendra for memory-less numa nodes, and a reuse of CPU masks. - Cleanup from Geliang Tang, using offset_in_page() instead of open coding it. - From Ilya, rename request_queue slab to it reflects what it holds, and a fix for proper use of bdgrab/put. - A real fix for the split across stripe boundaries from Keith.
