L2TP for example uses NLA_MSECS like this:

code:
if (info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT])
cfg.reorder_timeout = nla_get_msecs(info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]);
As nla_get_msecs() is essentially nla_get_u64() plus the
conversion to a HZ-based value, this will not properly
reject attributes from userspace that aren't long enough
and might overrun the message.
Add NLA_MSECS to the attribute minlen array to check the

Commit 84c95c9acf ("string: on strstrip(), first remove leading spaces
before running over str") improved the performance of the strim()
function.
Unfortunately this changed the semantics of strim() and broke my code.
Before the patch it was possible to use strim() without using the return
value for removing trailing spaces from strings that had either only
blanks or only trailing blanks.
Now this does not work any longer for strings that *only* have blanks.
Before patch: " " -> "" (empty string)
After patch: " " -> " " (no change)
I think we should remove your patch to restore the old behavior.
The description (lib/string.c):
* Note that the first trailing whitespace is replaced with a %NUL-terminator
=> The first trailing whitespace of a string that only has whitespace
characters is the first whitespace
The patch restores the old strim() semantics.

__bitmap_parse() and __bitmap_parselist() both take a pointer to a kernel
buffer as a parameter and then cast it to a pointer to user buffer for use
in cases when the parameter is_user indicates that the buffer is actually
located in user space. This casting, and the casts in the callers,
results in sparse noise like the following:
warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
expected char const [noderef] <asn:1>*ubuf
got char const *buf
warning: cast removes address space of expression
Since these casts are intentional, use __force to quiet the noise.

Dynamic debug recently added support for netdev_printk. It uses
__netdev_printk() to support this functionality. However, when CONFIG_NET
is not set, we get the following error:
lib/built-in.o: In function `__dynamic_netdev_dbg':
(.text+0x9fda): undefined reference to `__netdev_printk'
Fix this by making the call to netdev_printk() contingent upon CONFIG_NET.
We could have fixed this by defining netdev_printk() to a 'no-op' in the
!CONFIG_NET case. However, this is not consistent with how the networking
layer uses netdev_printk. For example, CONFIG_NET is not set,
netdev_printk() does not have a 'no-op' definition defined.

We were using KERN_CONT to combine messages with their prefix. However,
KERN_CONT is not smp safe, in the sense that it can interleave messages.
This interleaving can result in printks coming out at the wrong loglevel.
With the high frequency of printks that dynamic debug can produce this is
not desirable.
So make dynamic_emit_prefix() fill a char buf[64] instead of doing a
printk directly. If we enable printing out of function, module, line, or
pid info, they are placed in this 64 byte buffer. In my testing 64 bytes
was enough size to fulfill all requests. Even if it's not, we can match
up the printk itself to see where it's from, so to me this is no big deal.

cpu_relax() stalls the pipeline, therefore, when used in a tight loop
it has the following benefits:
- allows SMT siblings to have a go;
- reduces pressure on the CPU interconnect.
However, cmpxchg loops are unfair and thus have unbounded completion
time, therefore we should avoid getting in such heavily contended
situations where the above benefits make any difference.
A typical cmpxchg loop should not go round more than a handfull of
times at worst, therefore adding extra delays just slows things down.
Since the llist primitives are new, there aren't any bad users yet,
and we should avoid growing them. Heavily contended sites should
generally be better off using the ticket locks for serialization since
they provide bounded completion times (fifo-fair over the cpus).

If in llist_add()/etc. functions the first cmpxchg() call succeeds, it is
not necessary to use cpu_relax() before the cmpxchg(). So cpu_relax() in
a busy loop involving cmpxchg() should go after cmpxchg() instead of before
that.
This patch fixes this for all involved llist functions.

Remove the nmi() checks spread around the code. in_nmi() is not available
on every architecture and it's a pretty obscure and ugly check in any case.

Because llist code will be used in performance critical scheduler
code path, make llist_add() and llist_del_all() inline to avoid
function calling overhead and related 'glue' overhead.

Thumb2 kernels cannot be built with frame pointers, but can use the
ARM_UNWIND feature for unwinding instead. This makes sure that all
features that rely on unwinding includeing CONFIG_LATENCYTOP and
FAULT_INJECTION_STACKTRACE_FILTER do not enable frame pointers
when the unwinder is already selected, and we always build with
the unwinder when we want a thumb2 kernel, to make sure we do not
get the frame pointers instead.
A different option would be to redefine the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS
option on ARM to mean builing with either frame pointers or
the unwinder, and then select which one to use based on the
CPU architecture or another user option. That would still allow
building thumb2 kernels without the unwinder but would also be
more confusing.

xz_dec_run() could incorrectly return XZ_BUF_ERROR if all of the
following was true:
- The caller knows how many bytes of output to expect and only provides
that much output space.
- When the last output bytes are decoded, the caller-provided input
buffer ends right before the LZMA2 end of payload marker. So LZMA2
won't provide more output anymore, but it won't know it yet and thus
won't return XZ_STREAM_END yet.
- A BCJ filter is in use and it hasn't left any unfiltered bytes in the
temp buffer. This can happen with any BCJ filter, but in practice
it's more likely with filters other than the x86 BCJ.
This fixes <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735408> where
Squashfs thinks that a valid file system is corrupt.
This also fixes a similar bug in single-call mode where the uncompressed
size of a block using BCJ + LZMA2 was 0 bytes and caller provided no
output space. Many empty .xz files don't contain any blocks and thus
don't trigger this bug.
This also tweaks a closely related detail: xz_dec_bcj_run() could call
xz_dec_lzma2_run() to decode into temp buffer when it was known to be
useless. This was harmless although it wasted a minuscule number of CPU
cycles.

hex2bin converts a hexadecimal string to its binary representation.
The original version of hex2bin did not do any error checking. This
patch adds error checking and returns the result.
Changelog v1:
- removed unpack_hex_byte()
- changed return code from boolean to int
Changelog:
- use the new unpack_hex_byte()
- add __must_check compiler option (Andy Shevchenko's suggestion)
- change function API to return error checking result
(based on Tetsuo Handa's initial patch)
