From e39f560239984c3098237ad94c9449b1494163f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Daney Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:10:21 -0800 Subject: fs: binfmt_elf: create Kconfig variable for PIE randomization Randomization of PIE load address is hard coded in binfmt_elf.c for X86 and ARM. Create a new Kconfig variable (CONFIG_ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE) for this and use it instead. Thus architecture specific policy is pushed out of the generic binfmt_elf.c and into the architecture Kconfig files. X86 and ARM Kconfigs are modified to select the new variable so there is no change in behavior. A follow on patch will select it for MIPS too.

Peter Anvin" Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2012 10:43:48 -0800 Subject: regset: Prevent null pointer reference on readonly regsets The regset common infrastructure assumed that regsets would always have .get and .set methods, but not necessarily .active methods. Unfortunately people have since written regsets without .set methods. Rather than putting in stub functions everywhere, handle regsets with null .get or .set methods explicitly. Signed-off-by: H.
