<title>flag parameters: pipe</title>

<id>ed8cae8ba01348bfd83333f4648dd807b04d7f08</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces the new syscall pipe2 which is like pipe but it also
takes an additional parameter which takes a flag value.  This patch implements
the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag.  I did not add support for the new
syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation.  I
think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified
implementation but that's up to them.

The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags.  I did that instead of changing
all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler.
I would probably screw up changing the assembly code.  To avoid breaking code
do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags.  Once all callers are
changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

<title>[MIPS] Add len and addr validation for MAP_FIXED mappings.</title>

<id>098362e72002d01fdd18afee2e635ffdcdc89e2c</id>
<content type='text'>
Mmap with MAP_FIXED was not validating the addr and len parameters.  This
leads to the failure of GCC's gcc.c-torture/execute/loop-2[fg].c testcases
when using the o32 ABI on a 64 bit kernel.

These testcases try to mmap 65536 bytes at 0x7fff8000 and then access all
the memory.  In 2.6.18 and 2.6.23.1 (and likely other versions as well)
the kernel maps the requested memory, but since half of it is above
0x80000000 a SIGBUS is generated when it is accessed.

This patch moves the len validation above the MAP_FIXED processing so that
it is always validated.  It also adds validation to the addr parameter for
MAP_FIXED mappings.
