For sending message:
*(unsigned int *)&cpu->ipc_buffer[0] = len;
cp1 = (char *) &cpu->ipc_buffer[1];But for receive message:
cnt = cpu->ipc_buffer[0] >> 32;
...
cp1 = (char *) &cpu->ipc_buffer[11];They are not pairs, it is typo issue of the redundency '1'.
So need use '1' instead of '11'.

When sending message in send_secondary_console_msg(), the length is not
include the NUL byte, and also not copy NUL to 'ipc_buffer'.When receive message in recv_secondary_console_msg(), the 'cnt' also
excludes NUL.So when get string from ipc_buffer, it may not be NUL terminated.
Then use memcpy() instead of strcpy(), and set last byte NUL.

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.This removes all the alpha uses of the __cpuinit macros.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
trickeled in.Highlights:
1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network
device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.
Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")From Eliezer Tamir.
2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
Eric Dumazet.3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
Pavel Emelyanov.5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
Rony Efraim.6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.
7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
from Cong Wang.9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular,
support receiving on multiple UDP ports.10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel
Borkmann.11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
devices. From Nicolas Dichtel.12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
From Daniel Borkmann.13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
from Johannes Berg.14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet.15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung
Cheng.16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon
Horman.17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque
pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle
network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri
Pirko and Timo Teräs.18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
Huewe.19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a
O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet.20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just
like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel.21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet.
22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu
during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From
Willem de Bruijn.23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
Dumazet.24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also
from Eric Dumazet.25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
from Vlad Yasevich.26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti.
27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
too, from David Majnemer.28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in
upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa.30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman."

Address more review comments from last round of code review.
1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with
pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem()
on ARM64.
2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390
by mistake, so restore to the original behavior.
3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu

Pull compat cleanup from Al Viro:
"Mostly about syscall wrappers this time; there will be another pile
with patches in the same general area from various people, but I'd
rather push those after both that and vfs.git pile are in."* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:

show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.

metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
um, xtensa* Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
The printed information is superset of what used to be there.arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86
* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the
arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
Converted to use the generic version.Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.An example BUG() dump follows.

Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
architecture. show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
current task as does dump_stack(). On some archs, dump_stack() prints
extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
triggered dump_stack().There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
identical functions. It leads to unnecessary subtle information.This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin. Blackfin's
dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.Debug information can be printed separately by calling
dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
implementation can still emit the same debug information. This is used
in blackfin.This patch brings the following behavior changes.
* On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
printed. This is because the top frame was determined in
dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
reliably. It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
sure whether that'd be necessary.* Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack(). They do
now.An example WARN dump follows.

...v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack(). This loses %ksp
from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
lib/dump_stack.c. Because linkage is per objecct file,
dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
- at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too. v1
The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue. The build
breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

this went through a number of review and test iterations before it was
committed, it was tested on various architectures, was exposed to
linux-next for quite some time - nevertheless it might cause problems
