      Taskstats fix the structure members alignment issue · 7e40f2ab
      Balbir Singh authored 
      We broke the the alignment of members of taskstats to the 8 byte boundary
with the CSA patches.  In the current kernel, the taskstats structure is
not suitable for use by 32 bit applications in a 64 bit kernel.

On x86_64

This is one way to solve the problem without re-arranging structure members
is to pack the structure.  The patch adds an __attribute__((aligned(8))) to
the taskstats structure members so that 32 bit applications using taskstats
can work with a 64 bit kernel.

Using __attribute__((packed)) would break the 64 bit alignment of members.

The fix was tested on x86_64. After the fix, we got

      Fix possible NULL pointer access in 8250 serial driver · fdc30b3d
      Taku Izumi authored 
      I encountered the following kernel panic.  The cause of this problem was
NULL pointer access in check_modem_status() in 8250.c.  I confirmed this
problem is fixed by the attached patch, but I don't know this is the
correct fix.

Fix the possible NULL pointer access in check_modem_status() in 8250.c.  The
check_modem_status() would access 'info' member of uart_port structure, but it
is not initialized before uart_open() is called.  The check_modem_status() can
be called through /proc/tty/driver/serial before uart_open() is called.

      oom: kill all threads that share mm with killed task · 650a7c97
      David Rientjes authored 
      oom_kill_task() calls __oom_kill_task() to OOM kill a selected task.
When finding other threads that share an mm with that task, we need to
kill those individual threads and not the same one.
