386d9a7edd [PATCH] elf: Always define elf_addr_t in linux/elf.h
Define elf_addr_t in linux/elf.h.  The size of the type is determined using
ELF_CLASS.  This allows us to remove the defines that today are spread all
over .c and .h files.

651971cb72 [PATCH] Fix the size limit of compat space msgsize
Currently we allocate 64k space on the user stack and use it the msgbuf for
sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} for compat and the results are later copied in user [
by copy_in_user].  This patch introduces helper routines for
sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} as below:

do_msgsnd() : Accepts the mtype and user space ptr to the buffer along with
the msqid and msgflg.

do_msgrcv() : Accepts a kernel space ptr to mtype and a userspace ptr to
the buffer.  The mtype has to be copied back the user space msgbuf by the
caller.

These changes avoid the need to allocate the msgsize on the userspace (
thus removing the size limt ) and the overhead of an extra copy_in_user().

64 bit version correctly returns an signed value.  There is no current user
affected by this, but it has to be fixed, as ktime values can be negative.

0d75565f1e [PATCH] PCEngines WRAP LED Support
A driver for the PCEngines WRAP boards (http://www.pcengines.ch), which are
very similar to the Soekris net4801 (same NS SC1100 geode reference
design).

The LEDs on the WRAP are on different GPIO lines and I have modified and
copied the net48xx error led support for this.  It also includes support
for an "extra" led (in addition to error).  The three LEDs on the WRAP are
at GPIO lines 2,3,18 (WRAP LEDs from left to right).  This driver gives
access to the second and third LEDs by twiddling GPIO lines 3 & 18.

Because these boards are so similar to the net48xx, I basically sed-ed that
driver to form the basis for leds-wrap.c.  The only changes from
leds-net48xx.c are:

 - #define WRAP_EXTRA_LED_GPIO

 - name changes

 - duplicate relevant sections to provide support for the "extra" led

 - reverse the various *_led_set values.  The WRAP is "backwards" from the
   net48xx, and these needed to be updated for that.

40fcfc8722 [PATCH] HZ: 300Hz support
Fix two things.  Firstly the unit is "Hz" not "HZ".  Secondly it is useful
to have 300Hz support when doing multimedia work.  250 is fine for us in
Europe but the US frame rate is 30fps (29.99 blah for pedants).  300 gives
us a tick divisible by both 25 and 30, and for interlace work 50 and 60.
It's also giving similar performance to 250Hz.

I'd argue we should remove 250 and add 300, but that might be excess
disruption for now.

ece8a684c7 [PATCH] sleep profiling
Implement prof=sleep profiling.  TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE sleeps will be taken
as a profile hit, and every millisecond spent sleeping causes a profile-hit
for the call site that initiated the sleep.

Sample readprofile output on i386:

   306 ps2_sendbyte                               1.3973
   432 call_usermodehelper_keys                   1.9548

  1593 msleep                                    44.2500
  3976 sync_buffer                               64.1290
  4076 do_lookup                                 12.4648
  8587 sync_page                                122.6714
 20820 total                                      0.0067

(NOTE: architectures need to check whether get_wchan() can be called from
deep within the wakeup path.)

akpm: we need to mark more functions __sched.  lock_sock(), msleep(), others..

akpm: the contention in do_lookup() is a surprise.  Presumably doing disk
reads for directory contents while holding i_mutex.

8bb0269160 [PATCH] corrupted cramfs filesystems cause kernel oops
Steve Grubb's fzfuzzer tool (http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/
fsfuzzer-0.6.tar.gz) generates corrupt Cramfs filesystems which cause
Cramfs to kernel oops in cramfs_uncompress_block().  The cause of the oops
is an unchecked corrupted block length field read by cramfs_readpage().

This patch adds a sanity check to cramfs_readpage() which checks that the
block length field is sensible.  The (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1) size check is
intentional, even though the uncompressed data is not going to be larger
than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, gzip sometimes generates compressed data larger than
the original source data.  Mkcramfs checks that the compressed size is
always less than or equal to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1.  Of course Cramfs could
use the original uncompressed data in this case, but it doesn't.
