  • Shifting the 1 by exp by an int can lead to sign-extension overlow when
    exp is 31 since 1 is an signed int and sign-extending this result to an
    unsigned long long will set the upper 32 bits. Fix this by shifting an
    unsigned long.

    Detected by cppcheck:
    (warning) Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is undefined behaviour

  • Add suffix ULL to constants 272, 204, 136 and 68 in order to give the
    compiler complete information about the proper arithmetic to use.
    Notice that these constants are used in contexts that expect
    expressions of type unsigned long long (64 bits, unsigned).

    The following expressions are currently being evaluated using 32-bit
    arithmetic:

    272 * mult
    204 * mult
    136 * mult
    68 * mult

    indicated that array data structures should be processed.
    Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

    This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

  • I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

    list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

    The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

    hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

    Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
    they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
    exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

    Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

    - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
    - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
    - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
    was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
    - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
    properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

    The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

  • CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
    markings need to be removed.

    This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
    __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

    Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
    in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

  • The ATM subsystem was incorrectly creating the 'device' link for ATM
    nodes in sysfs. This led to incorrect device/parent relationships
    exposed by sysfs and udev. Instead of rolling the 'device' link by hand
    in the generic ATM code, pass each ATM driver's bus device down to the
    sysfs code and let sysfs do this stuff correctly.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.
