2013-07-03init: remove permanent string buffer from do_one_initcall()Steven Rostedt1-2/+1
do_one_initcall() uses a 64 byte string buffer to save a message. This buffer is declared static and is only used at boot up and when a module is loaded. As 64 bytes is very small, and this function has very limited scope, there's no reason to waste permanent memory with this string and not just simply put it on the stack.

2013-07-03checkpatch: cache last camelcase hash as .checkpatch-camelcase.<commit>Joe Perches1-0/+26
Add a file to cache the CamelCase variables found by <commit> to reduce the time it takes to scan the include/ directory. Filename is '.checkpatch-camelcase.<commit>' and it is created only only if a .git directory exists. <commit> is determined by the last non-merge commit id in the include/ path. Reduces checkpatch run time by ~12 cpu seconds on my little netbook.

2013-07-03checkpatch: ignore existing CamelCase uses from include/...Joe Perches1-7/+50
When using --strict, CamelCase uses are described with CHECK: messages. These CamelCase uses may be acceptable and should not generate these messages when the variable is already defined in a file from the include/... path. So, change checkpatch to read all the .h files in include/... and look for preexisting CamelCase #defines, typedefs and function prototypes. Add these to the existing camelcase hash so that any uses in the patch or file can be ignored. There are currently ~3500 files in include/. It takes about 10 cpu seconds on my little netbook to grep for and preseed these existing uses. That's about 4x the time for a similar git grep. This preseeding is only done once when using --strict and only when there is a CamelCase use found. If a .git directory is found, it uses 'git ls-files include' If not, it uses 'find $root/include -name "*.h" Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2013-07-03clean up scary strncpy(dst, src, strlen(src)) usesKees Cook4-13/+10
Fix various weird constructions of strncpy(dst, src, strlen(src)). Length limits should be about the space available in the destination, not repurposed as a method to either always include or always exclude a trailing NULL byte. Either the NULL should always be copied (using strlcpy), or it should not be copied (using something like memcpy). Readable code should not depend on the weird behavior of strncpy when it hits the length limit. Better to avoid the anti-pattern entirely.

Sparse generates a false positive when you pass a __user or __iomem pointer to the IS_ERR() functions. drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1286.c:344:36: sparse: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1286.c:344:36: expected void const *ptr drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1286.c:344:36: got unsigned int [noderef] [usertype] <asn:2>*rtcregs We can silence these by adding a __force here and upgrading to Sparse v0.4.5-rc1 or later. This change has no effect when using current Sparse releases.

2013-07-03arch/frv/kernel/setup.c: use strncmp() instead of memcmp()Chen Gang1-1/+1
'cmdline' is a NUL terminated string, when its length < 4, memcmp() will cause memory access out of boundary. So use strncmp() instead of memcmp().

2013-07-03arch/frv/kernel/traps.c: using vsnprintf() instead of vsprintf()Chen Gang1-1/+1
Since die_if_kernel() is an extern common used function, better always check the buffer length to avoid memory overflow by a long 'str'.

2013-07-03mm: memcontrol: factor out reclaim iterator loading and updatingJohannes Weiner1-29/+57
mem_cgroup_iter() is too hard to follow. Factor out the lockless reclaim iterator loading and updating so it's easier to follow the big picture. Also document the iterator invalidation mechanism a bit more extensively.
