      Revert "netlink: netlink_recvmsg() fix" · daa3766e
      David S. Miller authored
      This reverts commit 1235f504.
      
      It causes regressions worse than the problem it was trying
      to fix.  Eric will try to solve the problem another way.

      arch/tile: don't validate CROSS_COMPILE needlessly · a5854dd7
      Chris Metcalf authored
      With this change, the arch/tile Makefile will only check for a valid
      combination of CROSS_COMPILE vs "uname -m" for a few common targets
      that are typically the ones we get wrong (vmlinux, all, and modules).
      The change handles the case of an empty "make" goal like "make all".

      mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard page · d7824370
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This commit makes the stack guard page somewhat less visible to user
      space. It does this by:
      
       - not showing the guard page in /proc/<pid>/maps
      
         It looks like lvm-tools will actually read /proc/self/maps to figure
         out where all its mappings are, and effectively do a specialized
         "mlockall()" in user space.  By not showing the guard page as part of
         the mapping (by just adding PAGE_SIZE to the start for grows-up
         pages), lvm-tools ends up not being aware of it.
      
       - by also teaching the _real_ mlock() functionality not to try to lock
         the guard page.
      
         That would just expand the mapping down to create a new guard page,
         so there really is no point in trying to lock it in place.
      
      It would perhaps be nice to show the guard page specially in
      /proc/<pid>/maps (or at least mark grow-down segments some way), but
      let's not open ourselves up to more breakage by user space from programs
      that depends on the exact deails of the 'maps' file.
      
      Special thanks to Henrique de Moraes Holschuh for diving into lvm-tools
      source code to see what was going on with the whole new warning.
