      Un-inline the core-dump helper functions · 3aa0ce82
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit
      0eead9ab ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
      ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.
      
      Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything
      happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
      bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.
      
      dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
      and none of them are in any way performance-critical.  And we really
      don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
      are.

      ALSA: snd-aloop - fix issue in the timer start function · 0db71023
      Jaroslav Kysela authored
      In some circumstances (the rate shift value was changed), the irq_pos
      value may be higher than the fraction value in the timer start function.
      Check for it.
      
      Also, to avoid value overflow, decrease maximum period size.

      Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps · 0eead9ab
      Linus Torvalds authored
      akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
      dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
      back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
      code).  Just remove it.
      
      Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write().  It probably doesn't
      matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
      points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...
      
      [ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
        calling ->write directly.  That also does the whole fsnotify and write
        statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]
      
      And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
      code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
      compile)
