A previous patch added the buffer size check to copy_from_user().
One of the things learned from analyzing the result of the previous
patch is that in general, gcc is really good at proving that the
code contains sufficient security checks to not need to do a
runtime check. But that for those cases where gcc could not prove
this, there was a relatively high percentage of real security
issues.
This patch turns the case of "gcc cannot prove" into a compile time
warning, as long as a sufficiently new gcc is in use that supports
this. The objective is that these warnings will trigger developers
checking new cases out before a security hole enters a linux kernel
release.

GCC provides reasonable memset/memcpy functions itself, with __builtin_memset
and __builtin_memcpy. For the "unknown" cases, it'll fall back to our
current existing functions, but for fixed size versions it'll inline
something smart. Quite often that will be the same as we have now,
but sometimes it can do something smarter (for example, if the code
then sets the first member of a struct, it can do a shorter memset).
In addition, and this is more important, gcc knows which registers and
such are not clobbered (while for our asm version it pretty much
acts like a compiler barrier), so for various cases it can avoid reloading
values.
The effect on codesize is shown below on my typical laptop .config:
text data bss dec hex filename
5605675 2041100 6525148 14171923 d83f13 vmlinux.before
5595849 2041668 6525148 14162665 d81ae9 vmlinux.after
Due to some not-so-good behavior in the gcc 3.x series, this change
is only done for GCC 4.x and above.

copy_from_user()
gcc (4.x) supports the __builtin_object_size() builtin, which
reports the size of an object that a pointer point to, when known
at compile time. If the buffer size is not known at compile time, a
constant -1 is returned.
This patch uses this feature to add a sanity check to
copy_from_user(); if the target buffer is known to be smaller than
the copy size, the copy is aborted and a WARNing is emitted in
memory debug mode.
These extra checks compile away when the object size is not known,
or if both the buffer size and the copy length are constants.

arch/x86/include/asm/topology.h declares inline fns cpu_to_node and
cpumask_of_node for !NUMA, even though they are then declared as
macros by asm-generic/topology.h, which is #included just below.
The macros (which are the same) end up being used; these functions
are just confusing.

On modern systems, the kernel prints the message
x86 PAT enabled: cpu 0, old 0x7040600070406, new 0x7010600070106
once for every CPU.
This gets kind of ridiculous on huge systems; for example, on a
64-thread system I was lucky enough to get:
dmesg| grep 'PAT enabled' | wc
64 704 5174
There is already a BUG() if non-boot CPUs have PAT capabilities
that don't match the boot CPU, so just print the message on the
boot CPU. (I kept the print after the wrmsrl() that enables PAT,
so that the log output continues to mean that the system survived
enabling PAT on the boot CPU)

On modern systems, the kernel prints the message
Skipping synchronization checks as TSC is reliable.
once for every non-boot CPU.
This gets kind of ridiculous on huge systems; for example, on a
64-thread system I was lucky enough to get:
$ dmesg | grep 'TSC is reliable' | wc

There's no point to doing this for every CPU, since the code is
just checking the boot CPU anyway, so change this to a
printk_once() to make the message appears only once.

For this system call user space passes a signed long length parameter,
while the kernel side takes an unsigned long parameter and converts it
later to signed long again.
This has led to bugs in compat wrappers see e.g. dd90bbd5 "powerpc: Add
compat_sys_truncate". The s390 compat wrapper for this functions is
broken as well since it also performs zero extension instead of sign
extension for the length parameter.
In addition if hpa comes up with an automated way of generating
compat wrappers it would generate a wrong one here.
So change the length parameter from unsigned long to long.

Use rdmsrl_safe() when accessing MCE registers. While in
theory we always 'know' which ones are safe to access from
the capability bits, there's a lot of hardware variations
and reality might differ from theory, as it did in this case:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14204
[ 0.010016] mce: CPU supports 5 MCE banks

So WARN_ONCE() instead of crashing the box.
( also fix a number of stylistic inconsistencies in the code. )
Note, we might still crash in wrmsrl() if we get that far, but
we shouldnt if the registers are truly inaccessible.

There are a few places in the Minix FS code where the "inode" field of a
minix_dir_entry is used without checking first to see if the dirent is
really a minix3_dir_entry. The inode number in a V1/V2 dirent is 16 bits,
whereas that in a V3 dirent is 32 bits.
Accessing it as a 16 bit field when it really should be accessed as a 32
bit field probably kinda sorta works on a little-endian machine, but leads
to some rather odd behaviour on big-endian machines.

fbcon makes the (reasonable) assumption that it only needs to program the
hardware once, when fbcon_init() is called for the foreground console.
This doesn't always play well with vgacon because vgacon_deinit() is only
doing its job when the last console it owns is closed (when switching from
vgacon to fbcon, that's usually *after* fbcon_init() has set the new
mode).
Depending on the hardware this can cause the wrong framebuffer location to
be scanned out (e.g. reproduced on nv05 with the nouveau framebuffer
driver).

Attempting to unload a framebuffer module calls unregister_framebuffer()
which in turn gets fbcon to release it. If fbcon has no framebuffers
linked to a console, it will also unbind itself from the console driver.
However, if fbcon never registered itself as a console driver, the unbind
will fail causing the framebuffer device entry to persist. In most cases
this failure will result in an oops when attempting to access the now
non-existent device.
This patch ensures that the fbcon unbind request will succeed even if a
bind was never done. It tracks if a successful bind ever occurred & will
only attempt to unbind if needed. If there never was a bind, it simply
returns with no error.

I would like to get rid of option CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD and just
always enable it. There are many reasons for doing this:
* CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y is what all x86 distributions do, so it
definitely works or we would know by now.
* Building the matroxfb driver with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD not set
results in the following build warning:
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_open':
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:265: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true'
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_release':
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:285: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true'
This is nothing to be worried about, the driver will work fine, but build
warnings are still annoying.
* The trick to get multihead support without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD,
which is described in the config help text, no longer works: you can't
load the same kernel module more than once.
* I fail to see how CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y would make the code
significantly slower, contrary to what the help text says. A few extra
parameters on the stack here and there can't really slow things down in
comaprison to the rest of the code, and register access.
* The driver built without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD is larger than the
driver build with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y by 8%.
* One less configuration option makes things simpler. We add options
all the time, being able to remove one for once is nice. It improves
testing coverage. And I don't think the Matrox adapters are still
popular enough to warrant overdetailed configuration settings.
* We should be able to unobfuscate the driver code quite a bit after
this change (patches follow.)
