  • Pull misc syscall fixes from Al Viro:

    - compat syscall fixes (discussed back in December)

    - a couple of "make life easier for sigaltstack stuff by reducing
    inter-tree dependencies"

    - fix up compiler/asmlinkage calling convention disagreement of
    sys_clone()

    - misc

    * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
    sys_clone() needs asmlinkage_protect
    make sure that /linuxrc has std{in,out,err}
    x32: fix sigtimedwait
    x32: fix waitid()
    switch compat_sys_wait4() and compat_sys_waitid() to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
    switch compat_sys_sigaltstack() to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
    CONFIG_GENERIC_SIGALTSTACK build breakage with asm-generic/syscalls.h
    Ensure that kernel_init_freeable() is not inlined into non __init code

  • The ia64 function "thread_matches()" has no users since commit
    e868a55c2a8c ("[IA64] remove find_thread_for_addr()"). Remove it.

    This allows us to make ptrace_check_attach() static to kernel/ptrace.c,
    which is good since we'll need to change the semantics of it and fix up
    all the callers.

  • Commit 816422ad7647 ("asm-generic, mm: pgtable: consolidate zero page

    this:

    from include/linux/mm.h:44,
    from arch/mips/kernel/asm-offsets.c:14:
    include/asm-generic/pgtable.h: In function 'my_zero_pfn':
    include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:466: error: implicit declaration of function 'page_to_section'
    In file included from arch/mips/kernel/asm-offsets.c:14:

    include/linux/mm.h:738: error: conflicting types for 'page_to_section'
    include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:466: note: previous implicit declaration of 'page_to_section' was here

    Due header files inter-dependencies, the only way I see to fix it is
    convert my_zero_pfn() for __HAVE_COLOR_ZERO_PAGE to macros.

  • The tty is NULL when the port is hanging up.
    chase_port() needs to check for this.

    This patch is intended for stable series.
    The behavior was observed and tested in Linux 3.2 and 3.7.1.

    Johan Hovold submitted a more elaborate patch for the mainline kernel.
