kernel/sys.c: fix stack memory content leak via UNAME26
Calling uname() with the UNAME26 personality set allows a leak of kernel
stack contents. This fixes it by defensively calculating the length of
copy_to_user() call, making the len argument unsigned, and initializing
the stack buffer to zero (now technically unneeded, but hey, overkill).

Prior to this patch, dm_target_io was allocated from a mempool. For each

This patch merges these two allocations into one allocation: we create a
bioset with front_pad equal to the size of dm_target_io so that every

hwmon: (coretemp) Drop dependency on PCI for TjMax detection on Atom CPUs
So far, we use the NM10 Express Chipset PCI chip ID to detect TjMax for
Atom CPUs with model 0x1c. As it turns out, we can use the CPU stepping
(x86_mask) for the same purpose; stepping is 10 for all model 0x1c CPUs
with TjMax of 100 degrees C. This was verified by checking the output of
/proc/cpuinfo for the respective CPUs (D4xx, D5xx, N4xx, N5xx).
Other CPUs currently covered by the same code (Exx, Z6xx, Z2460) are not
supported by the NM10 Express Chipset. Most of those CPUs have TjMax of 90
degrees C, except for E6xxT models which have a TjMax of 110 degrees C.
E6xxT CPUs can however not be detected by software.
Calculate TjMax for Atom CPUs as follows. Note that the listed values are not
correct in some cases (230, 330). tjmax_table is used for those to override
the default values.
ID Stepping TjMax Models
0x1c 10 100 D4xx, N4xx, D5xx, N5xx
0x1c not 10 90 Z5xx, N2xx, 230, 330, others

Lincroft (Z6xx)

This has the undesirable effect of breaking the EFI boot stub because
the #ifdef CONFIG_EFI_STUB code in arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c is
never compiled.
It should also be noted that because $(USERINCLUDE) isn't exported by

"The patches contained herein do the following:
(1) Remove kernel-only stuff in linux/ppp-comp.h from the UAPI. I checked
this with Paul Mackerras before I created the patch and he suggested some
extra bits to unexport.
(2) Remove linux/blk_types.h entirely from the UAPI as none of it is userspace
applicable, and remove from the UAPI that part of linux/fs.h that was the
reason for linux/blk_types.h being exported in the first place. I
discussed this with Jens Axboe before creating the patch.
(3) The big patch of the series to disintegrate include/linux/*.h as a unit.
This could be split up, though there would be collisions in moving stuff
between the two Kbuild files when the parts are merged as that file is
sorted alphabetically rather than being grouped by subsystem.
Of this set of headers, 17 files have changed in the UAPI exported region
since the 4th and only 8 since the 9th so there isn't much change in this
area - as one might expect.
It should be pretty obvious and straightforward if it does come to fixing
up: stuff in __KERNEL__ guards stays where it is and stuff outside moves
to the same file in the include/uapi/linux/ directory.
If a new file appears then things get a bit more complicated as the
"headers +=" line has to move to include/uapi/linux/Kbuild. Only one new
file has appeared since the 9th and I judge this type of event relatively
unlikely.
