      NOMMU: Don't check vm_region::vm_start is page aligned in add_nommu_region() · 8c9ed899
      David Howells authored
      Don't check vm_region::vm_start is page aligned in add_nommu_region() because
      the region may reflect some non-page-aligned mapped file, such as could be
      obtained from RomFS XIP.

      * 'for-linus' of git://neil.brown.name/md:
        md: remove rd%d links immediately after stopping an array.
        md: remove ability to explicit set an inactive array to 'clean'.
        md: constify VFTs
        md: tidy up status_resync to handle large arrays.
        md: fix some (more) errors with bitmaps on devices larger than 2TB.
        md/raid10: don't clear bitmap during recovery if array will still be degraded.
        md: fix loading of out-of-date bitmap.

      random: make get_random_int() more random · 8a0a9bd4
      Linus Torvalds authored
      It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current
      "secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_
      hashing area, so that it gets updated every time.
      
      And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of
      all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until
      they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in
      the same old "current->pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a
      regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't
      have a single seed.
      
      Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It
      has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous
      seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will
      feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference.
      
      I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong:
      having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness,
      and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is
      supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered
      using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still
      getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won
      out.
