get_event_name uses sprintf to fill a buffer declared on the stack. It fills the buffer 2 bytes at a time. What the code doesn't take into account is that sprintf(buf, "%02x", data) actually writes 3 bytes. 2 bytes for the data and then it nul terminates the string. Since we declare buf to be 40 characters long and then we write 40 bytes of data into buf sprintf is going to write 41 characters. The fix is to leave room in buf for the nul terminator.

Martin Knoblauch reports that trying to build 2.6.30-rc6-git3 with RHEL4.3 userspace (gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) causes an internal compiler error (ICE): drivers/char/random.c: In function `get_random_int': drivers/char/random.c:1672: error: unrecognizable insn: (insn 202 148 150 0 /scratch/build/linux-2.6.30-rc6-git3/arch/x86/include/asm/tsc.h:23 (set (reg:SI 0 ax [91]) (subreg:SI (plus:DI (plus:DI (reg:DI 0 ax [88]) (subreg:DI (reg:SI 6 bp) 0)) (const_int -4 [0xfffffffffffffffc])) 0)) -1 (nil) (nil)) drivers/char/random.c:1672: internal compiler error: in extract_insn, at recog.c:2083 and after some debugging it turns out that it's due to the code trying to figure out the rough value of the current stack pointer by taking an address of an uninitialized variable and casting that to an integer. This is clearly a compiler bug, but it's not worth fighting - while the current stack kernel pointer might be somewhat hard to predict in user space, it's also not generally going to change for a lot of the call chains for a particular process. So just drop it, and mumble some incoherent curses at the compiler.

The problem is that permission checking is skipped if atomic open is possible, but when exec opens a file, it just opens it O_READONLY which means EXEC permission will not be checked at that time.

Commit c45d6320 ("fix reference counting of ftdi_private") stopped ftdi_sio_port_remove() from directly freeing the port-private data, with the intention if the port was still open, it would be freed when ftdi_close() is eventually called and releases the last refcount on the structure. That's all very well, but ftdi_sio_port_remove() still contains a call to usb_set_serial_port_data(port, NULL) -- so by the time we get to ftdi_close() for the port which was unplugged, it _still_ oopses on dereferencing that NULL pointer, as it did before (and does in 2.6.29). The fix is just not to clear the private data in ftdi_sio_port_remove(). Then the refcount is properly reduced to zero when the final kref_put() happens in ftdi_close(). Remove a bogus comment too, while we're at it. And stop doing things inside "if (priv)" -- it must _always_ be there. Based loosely on an earlier patch by Daniel Mack, and suggestions by Alan Stern.

After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes. The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had to be flagged as an "early clobber". I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.

Ian Campbell noticed that since "Eliminate thousands of warnings with gcc 3.2 build" (commit 57adc4d2) all WARN_ON()'s currently appear to come from warn_slowpath_null(), eg: WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:143 warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x20() because now that warn_slowpath_null() is in the call path, the __builtin_return_address(0) returns that, rather than the place that caused the warning. Fix this by splitting up the warn_slowpath_null/fmt cases differently, using a common helper function, and getting the return address in the right place. This also happens to avoid the unnecessary stack usage for the non-stdargs case, and just generally cleans things up. Make the function name printout use %pS while at it.

Processor idle power states C2 and C3 stop the TSC on many machines. Linux recognizes this situation and marks the TSC as unstable: Marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle But if those same machines are booted with "processor.max_cstate=1", then there is no need to validate C2 and C3, and no need to disable the TSC, which can be reliably used as a clocksource.
