      serial: fixup /proc/tty/driver/serial after proc_fops conversion · 833bb304
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      "struct tty_driver *" lies in m->private not in v which is
      SEQ_TOKEN_START which is 1 which is enough to trigger NULL dereference
      next line:
      
      	BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000ad
      	IP: [<c040d689>] uart_proc_show+0xe/0x2b0
      
      Noticed by Linus.

      qeth: properly delete empty files. · 972dd435
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 64ef8957 ("qeth: remove EDDP")
      removed the qeth_core_offl.[hc] files, but ended up doing so by just
      patching them to zero size, rather than removing them properly.
      
      Actually remove the files.

      H. Peter Anvin authored
      Impact: BIOS bug safety
      
      For pre-ACPI 3 BIOSes, pre-initialize the end of the e820 buffer just
      in case the BIOS returns an unchanged %ecx but without actually
      touching the ACPI 3 extended flags field.
