microblaze: Fix /dev/zero corruption from __clear_user()

2011-03-23T19:50:08+00:00

commit 6f3946b421395ff853bc0bcdab9c26b50ebbba8f upstream. A userland read of more than PAGE_SIZE bytes from /dev/zero results in (a) not all of the bytes returned being zero, and (b) memory corruption due to zeroing of bytes beyond the user buffer. This is caused by improper constraints on the assembly __clear_user function. The constrints don't indicate to the compiler that the pointer argument is modified. Since the function is inline, this results in double-incrementing of the pointer when __clear_user() is invoked through a multi-page read() of /dev/zero. Signed-off-by: Steven J.

of/flattree: Eliminate need to provide early_init_dt_scan_chosen_arch

2010-10-21T17:10:10+00:00

This patch refactors the early init parsing of the chosen node so that architectures aren't forced to provide an empty implementation of early_init_dt_scan_chosen_arch. Instead, if an architecture wants to do something different, it can either use a wrapper function around early_init_dt_scan_chosen(), or it can replace it altogether. This patch was written in preparation to adding device tree support to both x86 ad MIPS. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Tested-by: David Daney
