Strings should be copied with strlcpy instead of strncpy when they will
later be printed via %s. This guarantees that they terminate with a
NUL '\0' character and do not run pass the end of the allocated string.

This is only for sample code, but it should stil represent a good
role model.

<title>tracing: Add __field_struct macro for TRACE_EVENT()</title>

<id>4d4c9cc839a308be3289a361ccba4447ee140552</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the __field() macro in TRACE_EVENT is only good for primitive
values, such as integers and pointers, but it fails on complex data types
such as structures or unions. This is because the __field() macro
determines if the variable is signed or not with the test of:

  (((type)(-1)) &lt; (type)1)

Unfortunately, that fails when type is a structure.

Since trace events should support structures as fields a new macro
is created for such a case called __field_struct() which acts exactly
the same as __field() does but it does not do the signed type check
and just uses a constant false for that answer.

<title>samples/seccomp/Makefile: do not build tests if cross-compiling for MIPS</title>

The Makefile is designed to use the host toolchain so it may be unsafe
to build the tests if the kernel has been configured and built for
another architecture.  This fixes a build problem when the kernel has
been configured and built for the MIPS architecture but the host is not
MIPS (cross-compiled).  The MIPS syscalls are only defined if one of the
following is true:

 1) _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_ABI64
 2) _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_ABI32
 3) _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_NABI32

Of course, none of these make sense on a non-MIPS toolchain and the
following build problem occurs when building on a non-MIPS host.

  linux/usr/include/linux/kexec.h:50: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel
  samples/seccomp/bpf-direct.c: In function `emulator':
  samples/seccomp/bpf-direct.c:76:17: error: `__NR_write' undeclared (first use in this function)

<title>kfifo API type safety</title>

<id>498d319bb512992ef0784c278fa03679f2f5649d</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch enhances the type safety for the kfifo API.  It is now safe
to put const data into a non const FIFO and the API will now generate a
compiler warning when reading from the fifo where the destination
address is pointing to a const variable.

As a side effect the kfifo_put() does now expect the value of an element
instead a pointer to the element.  This was suggested Russell King.  It
make the handling of the kfifo_put easier since there is no need to
create a helper variable for getting the address of a pointer or to pass
integers of different sizes.

IMHO the API break is okay, since there are currently only six users of
kfifo_put().

The code is also cleaner by kicking out the "if (0)" expressions.

 "These changes bring in a bunch of new functionality that has been
  maintained internally at Tilera over the last year, plus other stray

  The changes include some PCI root complex work, interrupt-driven

  fixups by kernel-based JIT code generation, CONFIG_PREEMPT support,
  vDSO support for gettimeofday(), a serial driver for the tilegx
  on-chip UART, KGDB support, more optimized string routines, support
  for ftrace and kprobes, improved ASLR, and many bug fixes.

  We also remove support for the old TILE64 chip, which is no longer
  buildable"

  tile: refresh tile defconfig files

This extends the uhid example client. It properly documents the built-in
report-descriptor an adds explicit report-numbers.

Furthermore, LED output reports are added to utilize the new UHID output
reports of the kernel. Support for 3 basic LEDs is added and a small
report-parser to print debug messages if output reports were received.

To test this, simply write the EV_LED+LED_CAPSL+1 event to the evdev
device-node of the uhid-device and the kernel will forward it to your uhid
client.
