sched/x86: Fix overflow in cyc2ns_offset

2012-04-13T15:33:50Z

commit 9993bc635d01a6ee7f6b833b4ee65ce7c06350b1 upstream. When a machine boots up, the TSC generally gets reset. However, when kexec is used to boot into a kernel, the TSC value would be carried over from the previous kernel. The computation of cycns_offset in set_cyc2ns_scale is prone to an overflow, if the machine has been up more than 208 days prior to the kexec. The overflow happens when we multiply *scale, even though there is enough room to store the final answer. We fix this issue by decomposing tsc_now into the quotient and remainder of division by CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR and then performing the multiplication separately on the two components. Refactor code to share the calculation with the previous fix in __cycles_2_ns().

module,bug: Add TAINT_OOT_MODULE flag for modules not built in-tree

2011-11-06T21:24:42Z

Use of the GPL or a compatible licence doesn't necessarily make the code any good. We already consider staging modules to be suspect, and this should also be true for out-of-tree modules which may receive very little review.

lib: rename pack_hex_byte() to hex_byte_pack()

2011-11-01T00:30:56Z

As suggested by Andrew Morton in [1] there is better to have most significant part first in the function name. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/20/22 There is no functional change.

treewide: use printf not attribute__((format(printf,...)))

2011-11-01T00:30:54Z

Standardize the style for compiler based printf format verification. Standardized the location of __printf too. Done via script and a little typing. $ grep -rPl --include=*.[ch] -w "__attribute__" * | \ grep -vP "^(tools|scripts|include/linux/compiler-gcc.h)" | \ xargs perl -n -i -e 'local $/; while (<>) { s/\b__attribute__\s*$\s*\(\s*format\s*\(\s*printf\s*,\s*(.+)\s*,\s*(.+)\s*$\s*\)\s*\)/__printf($1, $2)/g ; print; }' [akpm@linux-foundation.org: revert arch bits] Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: "Kirill A.

lib: add error checking to hex2bin

2011-09-21T03:24:44Z

hex2bin converts a hexadecimal string to its binary representation. The original version of hex2bin did not do any error checking. This patch adds error checking and returns the result. Changelog v1: - removed unpack_hex_byte() - changed return code from boolean to int Changelog: - use the new unpack_hex_byte() - add __must_check compiler option (Andy Shevchenko's suggestion) - change function API to return error checking result (based on Tetsuo Handa's initial patch) Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Acked-by: Andy Shevchenko
