* Fix vsnprintf off-by-one bugLinus Torvalds2006-06-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent vsnprintf() fix introduced an off-by-one, and it's now possible to overrun the target buffer by one byte. The "end" pointer points to past the end of the buffer, so if we have to truncate the result, it needs to be done though "end[-1]". [ This is just an alternate and simpler patch to one proposed by Andrew and Jeremy, who actually noticed the problem ] Acked-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] Implement kasprintfJeremy Fitzhardinge2006-06-251-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | Implement kasprintf, a kernel version of asprintf. This allocates the memory required for the formatted string, including the trailing '\0'. Returns NULL on allocation failure.

* [PATCH] Fix bounds check in vsnprintf, to allow for a 0 size and NULL bufferJeremy Fitzhardinge2006-06-251-32/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change allows callers to use a 0-byte buffer and a NULL buffer pointer with vsnprintf, so it can be used to determine how large the resulting formatted string will be. Previously the code effectively treated a size of 0 as a size of 4G (on 32-bit systems), with other checks preventing it from actually trying to emit the string - but the terminal \0 would still be written, which would crash if the buffer is NULL. This change changes the boundary check so that 'end' points to the putative location of the terminal '\0', which is only written if size > 0. vsnprintf still allows the buffer size to be set very large, to allow unbounded buffer sizes (to implement sprintf, etc).

* [PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau2005-10-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
