KEYS: Fix use-after-free in assoc_array_gc()

2014-09-03T00:30:22+00:00

An edit script should be considered inaccessible by a function once it has
called assoc_array_apply_edit() or assoc_array_cancel_edit().

However, assoc_array_gc() is accessing the edit script just after the
gc_complete: label.

lib: turn CONFIG_STACKTRACE into an actual option.

2014-08-29T23:28:16+00:00

I was puzzled why /proc/$$/stack had disappeared, until I figured out I
had disabled the last debug option that did a 'select STACKTRACE'.  This
patch makes the option show up at config time, so it can be enabled
without enabling any of the more heavyweight debug options.

rhashtable: unexport and make rht_obj() static

2014-08-14T22:13:39+00:00

No need to export rht_obj(), all inner to outer object translations
occur internally. It was intended to be used with rht_for_each() which
now primarily serves as the iterator for rhashtable_remove_pprev() to
effectively flush and free the full table.

lib/scatterlist: make ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN an actual Kconfig

2014-08-08T22:57:26+00:00

Rather than have architectures #define ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN in an
architecture specific scatterlist.h, make it a proper Kconfig option and
use that instead.  At same time, remove the header files are are now
mostly useless and just include asm-generic/scatterlist.h.

initramfs: support initramfs that is bigger than 2GiB

2014-08-08T22:57:26+00:00

Now with 64bit bzImage and kexec tools, we support ramdisk that size is
bigger than 2g, as we could put it above 4G.

Found compressed initramfs image could not be decompressed properly.  It
turns out that image length is int during decompress detection, and it
will become < 0 when length is more than 2G.  Furthermore, during
decompressing len as int is used for inbuf count, that has problem too.

Change len to long, that should be ok as on 32 bit platform long is
32bits.

Tested with following compressed initramfs image as root with kexec.
	gzip, bzip2, xz, lzma, lzop, lz4.
run time for populate_rootfs():
   size        name       Nehalem-EX  Westmere-EX  Ivybridge-EX
