handle suicide on late failure exits in execve() in search_binary_handler()

2014-10-09T06:39:00+00:00

... rather than doing that in the guts of ->load_binary().
[updated to fix the bug spotted by Shentino - for SIGSEGV we really need
something stronger than send_sig_info(); again, better do that in one place]

mm: remove free_area_cache

2013-07-11T01:11:34+00:00

Since all architectures have been converted to use vm_unmapped_area(),
there is no remaining use for the free_area_cache.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2013-05-02T00:51:54+00:00

Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,

Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
seq_file etc).

7kloc removed.

  take cgroup_open() and cpuset_open() to fs/proc/base.c
  ppc: Clean up scanlog
  ppc: Clean up rtas_flash driver somewhat
  hostap: proc: Use remove_proc_subtree()
  drm: proc: Use remove_proc_subtree()

  airo: Use remove_proc_subtree()
  rtl8192u: Don't need to save device proc dir PDE

coredump: factor out the setting of PF_DUMPCORE

2013-05-01T00:04:06+00:00

Cleanup.  Every linux_binfmt->core_dump() sets PF_DUMPCORE, move this into
zap_threads() called by do_coredump().

new helper: read_code()

2013-04-29T19:40:23+00:00

switch binfmts that use ->read() to that (and to kernel_read()
in several cases in binfmt_flat - sure, it's nommu, but still,
doing ->read() into kmalloc'ed buffer...)
