<title>[PATCH] null-terminate over-long /proc/kallsyms symbols</title>

<id>098c5eea03de4707019a205140296893252b4130</id>
<content type='text'>
Got a customer bug report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/190296) about kernel
symbols longer than 127 characters which end up in a string buffer that is
not NULL terminated, leading to garbage in /proc/kallsyms.  Using strlcpy
prevents this from happening, even though such symbols still won't come out
right.

A better fix would be to not use a fixed-size buffer, but it's probably not
worth the trouble.  (Modversion'ed symbols even have a length limit of 60.)

<title>[PATCH] Add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL</title>

<id>f71d20e961474dde77e6558396efb93d6ac80a4b</id>
<content type='text'>
Temporarily add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL.  These
will be used as a transition measure for symbols that aren't used in the
kernel and are on the way out.  When a module uses such a symbol, a warning
is printk'd at modprobe time.

The main reason for removing unused exports is size: eacho export takes
roughly between 100 and 150 bytes of kernel space in the binary.  This
patch gives users the option to immediately get this size gain via a config
option.

These are the generic bits needed to enable reliable stack traces based
on Dwarf2-like (.eh_frame) unwind information. Subsequent patches will
enable x86-64 and i386 to make use of this.

Thanks to Andi Kleen and Ingo Molnar, who pointed out several possibilities
for improvement.

  Use __uXX types in user-visible structures in &lt;linux/nbd.h&gt;
  Don't use 'u32' in user-visible struct ip_conntrack_old_tuple.
  Use __uXX types for S390 DASD volume label definitions which are user-visible
  S390 BIODASDREADCMB ioctl should use __u64 not u64 type.
