The current test for empty strings fails because it is testing the
address of a field, not a pointer. So the test will always be true.
Test the first character in the string to not be null instead.

Three errors resulting in kernel memory disclosure:
1/ The structures used for the netlink based crypto algorithm report API
are located on the stack. As snprintf() does not fill the remainder of
the buffer with null bytes, those stack bytes will be disclosed to users
of the API. Switch to strncpy() to fix this.
2/ crypto_report_one() does not initialize all field of struct
crypto_user_alg. Fix this to fix the heap info leak.
3/ For the module name we should copy only as many bytes as
module_name() returns -- not as much as the destination buffer could
hold. But the current code does not and therefore copies random data
from behind the end of the module name, as the module name is always
shorter than CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME.
Also switch to use strncpy() to copy the algorithm's name and
driver_name. They are strings, after all.

The ThingM blink(1) is an open source hardware USB RGB LED. It contains
an internal EEPROM, allowing to configure up to 12 light patterns. A
light pattern is a RGB color plus a fade time. This driver registers a
LED class instance with additional sysfs attributes to support basic
functions such as setting RGB colors, fade and playing. Other functions
are still accessible through the hidraw interface.
At this time, the only documentation for the device is the firmware
source code from ThingM, plus a few schematics. They are available at:
https://github.com/todbot/blink1
This patch is version 3. It updates the name of the source file, the
driver and the led sysfs entry, according to comments from Jiri Kosina
and Simon Wood.

The commit [1] breaks builds and results in the following error
arch/mips/kernel/vpe.c: In function 'vpe_run':
arch/mips/kernel/vpe.c:708:16: error: invalid type argument of '->' (have 'struct list_head')
Taking a closer look at the conditional we notice that list_first_entry wont
ever return NULL. The easiest fix is to just drop the dead code.

We cannot use __init for earlyprintk code or data, since the kernel
parameter "keep_bootcon" allows leaving the boot console enabled.
Currently MIPS will crash/hang/die if you use keep_bootcon. The patch
fixes it at least on Lemote FuLoong mini-PC. Changes for other boards
were done based on what I could find with grep...

/proc/vmcore wasn't showing up in kdump kernels. It turns that that
for Octeon, the memory used by elfcorehdr wasn't being set aside
properly and it was getting clobbered before /proc/vmcore could get
it. So reserve the memory if it shows up in a memory area managed
by the kernel.

We (Linux Kernel Performance project) found a regression
introduced by commit:
5a505085f0 mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem
which converted all anon_vma::mutex locks rwsem write locks.
The semantics are the same, but the behavioral difference is
quite huge in some cases. After investigating it we found the
root cause: mutexes support lock stealing while rwsems don't.
Here is the link for the detailed regression report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/84
Ingo suggested adding write lock stealing to rwsems:
"I think we should allow lock-steal between rwsem writers - that
will not hurt fairness as most rwsem fairness concerns relate to
reader vs. writer fairness"
And here is the rwsem-spinlock version.
With this patch, we got a double performance increase in one
test box with following aim7 workfile:
FILESIZE: 1M
POOLSIZE: 10M
10 fork_test
/usr/bin/time output w/o patch /usr/bin/time_output with patch
-- Percent of CPU this job got: 369% Percent of CPU this job got: 537%
Voluntary context switches: 640595016 Voluntary context switches: 157915561
We got a 45% increase in CPU usage and saved about 3/4 voluntary context switches.
