sysfs: remove BUG_ON() from sysfs_remove_group()

It's possible that the caller of sysfs_remove_group messed up and passed in an attribute group that was not really registered to this kobject.  But don't panic for such a foolish error, spit out a warning about what happened, and continue on our way safely.

Driver core: Revert "Fix Firmware class name collision"

This reverts commit 109f0e93b6b728f03c1eb4af02bc25d71b646c59.

The original patch breaks BIOS updates on all Dell machines. The path to
the firmware file for the dell_rbu driver changes, which breaks all of
the userspace tools which rely on it.

Note that this patch re-introduces a problem with i2c name collision
that was previously fixed by this patch.

Block: Fix whole_disk attribute bug

The "whole_disk" attribute was not properly converted in the block
device conversion earlier, and if the file is read, bad things can
happen.  This patch fixes this, making the attribute an empty one,

#define cmpxchg64_local cmpxchg64

Which makes it absolutely clear that they are the same code.  With your

are the same.

Add cmpxchg_local to asm-generic for per cpu atomic operations

Emulates the cmpxchg_local by disabling interrupts around variable modification.
This is not reentrant wrt NMIs and MCEs. It is only protected against normal
interrupts, but this is enough for architectures without such interrupt sources
or if used in a context where the data is not shared with such handlers.

It can be used as a fallback for architectures lacking a real cmpxchg
instruction.

For architectures that have a real cmpxchg but does not have NMIs or MCE,
testing which of the generic vs architecture specific cmpxchg is the fastest
should be done.

asm-generic/cmpxchg.h defines a cmpxchg that uses cmpxchg_local. It is meant to
be used as a cmpxchg fallback for architectures that do not support SMP.

16 years agoSanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0
H. Peter Anvin [Thu, 7 Feb 2008 08:15:57 +0000 (00:15 -0800)]
Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0

struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.

Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.
