Paul Fulghum authored
Add custom HDLC idle pattern feature. It allows the user to specify an arbitrary 8 or 16 bit repeating pattern on the transmit data pin between HDLC frames. In most cases the idle pattern is continuous ones or flags as supported by off the shelf synchronous controllers and defined in the ISO3309 standard. Some applications (radio/satellite modems, connections to legacy military hardware) require non-standard patterns. Signed-off-by:

Implement kasprintf, a kernel version of asprintf. This allocates the memory required for the formatted string, including the trailing '\0'. Returns NULL on allocation failure. Signed-off-by:

This change allows callers to use a 0-byte buffer and a NULL buffer pointer with vsnprintf, so it can be used to determine how large the resulting formatted string will be. Previously the code effectively treated a size of 0 as a size of 4G (on 32-bit systems), with other checks preventing it from actually trying to emit the string - but the terminal \0 would still be written, which would crash if the buffer is NULL. This change changes the boundary check so that 'end' points to the putative location of the terminal '\0', which is only written if size > 0. vsnprintf still allows the buffer size to be set very large, to allow unbounded buffer sizes (to implement sprintf, etc).

Fix memory leak caused by incorrect use of tty buffer facility. tty buffers are allocated but never processed by call to tty_flip_buffer_push so they accumulate on the full buffer list. Current code uses the buffers as a temporary storage for data before passing it directly to the line discipline. Signed-off-by:

When the linkat() syscall was added the flag parameter was added in the last minute but it wasn't used so far. The following patch should change that. My tests show that this is all that's needed. If OLDNAME is a symlink setting the flag causes linkat to follow the symlink and create a hardlink with the target. This is actually the behavior POSIX demands for link() as well but Linux wisely does not do this. With this flag (which will most likely be in the next POSIX revision) the programmer can choose the behavior, defaulting to the safe variant. As a side effect it is now possible to implement a POSIX-compliant link(2) function for those who are interested. touch file ln -s file symlink linkat(fd, "symlink", fd, "newlink", 0) -> newlink is hardlink of symlink linkat(fd, "symlink", fd, "newlink", AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW) -> newlink is hardlink of file The value of AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW is determined by the definition we already use in glibc.

If a cpu hotplug callback fails on CPU_UP_PREPARE, all callbacks will be called with CPU_UP_CANCELED. A few of these callbacks assume that on CPU_UP_PREPARE a pointer to task has been stored in a percpu array. This assumption is not true if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails and the following calls to kthread_bind() in CPU_UP_CANCELED will cause an addressing exception because of passing a NULL pointer. Signed-off-by:

We already print "cciss: using DAC cycles" or similar for every adapter found: why not just identify the device we're talking about and include other useful information?

When the verbose (-v) option is used with scripts/kernel-doc, this option reports when the kernel-doc format is malformed and apparently contains function description lines before function parameters. In these cases, the kernel-doc script will print something like: Warning(filemap.c:335): contents before sections I have fixed the problems in mm/filemap.c and added lots of kernel-doc to that file (posted to the linux-mm mailing list Mon. 2006-June-12). The real goal (as requested by Andrew Morton) is to allow the short function description to be more than one line long. This patch is both a kernel-doc checker and a tool en route to that goal.

VFS uses current->files pointer as lock owner ID, and it wouldn't be prudent to expose this value to userspace. So scramble it with XTEA using a per connection random key, known only to the kernel. Only one direction needs to be implemented, since the ID is never sent in the reverse direction. The XTEA algorithm is implemented inline since it's simple enough to do so, and this adds less complexity than if the crypto API were used. Thanks to Jesper Juhl for the idea. Signed-off-by:
