sparc: delete cpuinit/CPUINIT usage from all users

2013-07-14T23:36:52+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/sparc uses of the __cpuinit macros from
C files and removes __CPUINIT from assembly files.  Note that even
though arch/sparc/kernel/trampoline_64.S has instances of ".previous"
in it, they are all paired off against explicit ".section" directives,
and not implicitly paired with __CPUINIT (unlike mips and arm were).

mm: remove free_area_cache

2013-07-11T01:11:34+00:00

Since all architectures have been converted to use vm_unmapped_area(),
there is no remaining use for the free_area_cache.

[PATCH] sparc32: vm_area_struct access for old Sun SPARCs.

2013-07-10T20:56:10+00:00

Commit e4c6bfd2d79d063017ab19a18915f0bc759f32d9 ("mm: rearrange
vm_area_struct for fewer cache misses") changed the layout of the
vm_area_struct structure, it broke several SPARC32 assembly routines
which used numerical constants for accessing the vm_mm field.

This patch defines the VMA_VM_MM constant to replace the immediate values.

arch: sparc: kernel: check the memory length before use strcpy().

2013-07-10T20:35:51+00:00

For the related next strcpy(), the destination length is less than 512,
but the source maximize length may be 'OPROMMAXPARAM' (4096) which is
more than 512.

One work flow may:
  openprom_sunos_ioctl() ->  if (cmd == OPROMSETOPT)
    getstrings() ->  will alloc buffer with size 'OPROMMAXPARAM'.
    opromsetopt() ->  devide the buffer into 'var' and 'value'
      of_set_property() -> pass
        prom_setprop() -> pass
          ldom_set_var()

And do not mind the additional 4 alignment buffer increasing, since
'sizeof(pkt) - sizeof(pkt.header)' is 4 alignment at least.
